RESEARCH REPORT
CULINL301A – Assessment Task 3
Genevieve Sayers
CHOSEN TOPIC
 Where do Mermaids come from?
 Came to choose this question as my 7year old daughter had been
asking me about it so I thought it would be interesting to locate some
resources for her, to answer her question.
 Outcome – to find suitable sources for a child, to be able to learn
new information about the topic.
RETRIEVAL STRATEGIES
 Trying varying key word searches through Google.
 Clicking on links/sources on websites.
 Search, using key words, of LINC catalogue.
TOOLS
 As the topic was largely historical in nature, able to make use of both print and
non-print tools.
 Definition ‘Social Media Tools’ –tools which you can utilise to get your media
(content) uploaded on to the web ie. blog, video, newsletter, podcast etc. The tools
enable you (1 person) to share your message with many easily and effectively.
 I used a video clip from a website, an RSS feed from a blog and images as
required by the assessment criteria. I have also selected a website and webpages as
sources relevant for my client, that I found through varying Google searches.
INFORMATION
AGENCIES/INTERNET SITES?
 For the book, I searched through the LINC catalogue beginning with
Mermaids as the key word and then refined the search by selecting
children, mermaids and lending which came up with 26 records. Placed
holds on 3 and the chosen one was most suitable.
 Made use of Google, You-Tube and Flickr to conduct searches which
came up with a lot of not very authoritative sites. So I refined my search
key words to include reputable sites such as public organisations
(museums, galleries) and educational institutions.
ANALYSE/SORT
INFORMATION?
 Checked for currency (last updated/posted dates, frequency of use of
social media plugins, working links).
 Checking of indicators of authority (URLs, About us and Contact Us
tabs to explore and verify information).
 Looking through those small bottom of pages links at copyright,
privacy and terms of use policies.
 Taking into account the overall ‘look’ and ‘feel’ of a site and any errors
obvious errors.
REASSESS/FOLLOW UP?
 Yes, had too many resources
 Had to go back through and analyse relevance/appropriateness for
ability and age of client, keeping in mind the desired outcome.
 Also had to re-look at the authority and currency of the some of
the sources.
RECORDING/MANAGEMENT
 Initially used old fashioned way of writing down!!
 Used drafts in blogger to record possibilities and also to manage
posts.
 Missed the class on Delicious and haven’t yet had a spare moment
to explore and make use of this tool.
EVALUATION
 Knew many of the tools were out there, just never found the time to
explore and make use of in the past.
 Have adapted quickly to the new skills and have enjoyed exploring and
creating.
 Difficult research question proved somewhat of a challenge to find
authoritative and relevant sources.
 As a result, information literacy skills have jumped from being average
to advanced.
