Research Journal 5 web pages or should I say slow death!



Ok I am hating this! I can not think of anything worse.... I would take a root canal without Novocaine over this!
YES THAT BAD!!!
I am stuck!
I have been stuck for days!
Everything I do .........ugh! HATE THIS!
I have gotten to the part where you load it onto a web server. My screen looks nothing like your screen shots!
As you can see from mine above ...look nothing like yours and I have done it over and over and over!
SOOOOOOOOOOOO Stuck!
I can see if you knew what you were doing this could be a useful tool, and now I know why web developers make a handful of cash!

Review of research 4

I found this research a lot harder than any of the others. Many of the web sites I visited you could not find any information on who wrote the article or when the site was last updated. I found lots of information on my topic but much of it I could not use because I just could not find anything in the A.S.P.C.T. to make it credible. What was most frustrating is that with my topic a lot of really good information was on some of the pages and you know it would be useful if you were really doing a research paper but you just couldn't use it because it could be uncredible.

Search in Google


(child* OR kid*) and (safe* internet OR safe* web)

I used Google for my searches.

Search Tool

The search tool I chose to look more into was ixquick.

The five great tools of this search are:
1. Use the + sign in front of words that must be in your search. Example: Granny smith +apple +pie recipe. You will get all apple pie recipes including granny smith recipes, if you wanted only granny smith recipes you would also put a + in front of it also.
2. Use the - sign in front of words that must not be present. Example: Nascar news -Kyle Bush. If you are looking for news from Nascar but you don't want information or articles on Kyle Bush this is how to skip the cry baby all together.
3. Use host: all information on this page must be located on this specified computer or on more specific computers. Example: host :columbian.com you will get info from columbian.com and www.columbian.com
4. Use link: page must contain a hyperlink for which at least one of the words in the destination address begins with specified text. Example: link:nytimes
5. Use "" to keep phrases together and not all over the page. Example: "south park" will make sure you get the naughty cartoon and not parks that are south of somewhere.

Summery of research part 3

I found this part of the research to be the hardest so far. Learning what makes the best boolean search took me some time. The things I thought were important to the search sometimes were not. I found it to be a good tool just a hard one to get the hang of.
I also had some trouble finding things in the library's databases. The newspaper articles and scholarly journals were easy it was the magazine articles I had more trouble with. I don't know if it was just that the subject I was using there just have not been many articles written or if I was just not searching the correct way. In the end I found all the different search choices to be fun and challenging and that there is really a lot of great stuff out there to read and use in the future.

My annotations

"'CHILD-SAFE INTERNET' BILL INTRODUCED BY STATE REP. PEARSON. " US Fed News Service, Including US State News 29 Aug. 2009,Research Library, ProQuest. Web. 14 Feb. 2010.
I chose this article because it dealt with all the different parts of my search. It contained information about making laws to help keep kids safe on the internet.

Works Cited

Davidson, Julia C., and Elena Martellozzo. "Protecting vulnerable young people in cyberspace from sexual abuse: raising awareness and responding globally." Police Practice & Research 9.4 (2008): 277-289. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 14 Feb. 2010.


I chose this article because it dealt with different aspects of my search. It talked about new laws to protect children, educating them, and that the most important thing that must be done to make it all work is to stop the trade of indecent images of children on the internet.


Doherty, B.. "Rating the Internet. " Reason 1 Apr. 2009: Research Library, ProQuest. Web. 14 Feb. 2010.
I chose this article because it was the best of the two I could find. It proposes that all sites on the internet be rated like we rate movies and then providers need to make it so kids can't access sites that are not rated for their age range.
