This week's lesson was learning how to use periodical databases and making search plans and strategies. I found the search strategy useful for mapping out which terms could also be used to find the desired results. I feel that it helps organize your thoughts better then randomly trying our various keywords.
Through developing a search strategy, I came up with several new key words to add to my research plan. I found that the search results that I was coming up with were often too general or not in the right direction that related to my topic. Searching more specifically, such as NAFTA and its advantages/disadvantages, helps narrow down the search results and receives more relevant results.
