Mapping Information

      Before the information literacy activities, my primary way to find information was to search the topic on Google. I was pretty closed minded about the way that I got to information and I would rarely step outside of my search routine. I found Google to be the most reliable because of the software that I use. It is the fastest and time is everything when completing class work so I felt very comfortable with it.
     I was unaware that Google sorted search results by website hits and not relevancy to the topic. this was something new that I learned. I do not like this about the search engine but I think overall it is a solid search engine. After completing the information literacy activities, I feel like I can improve some small aspects about the way that I search. I think that I can use different search engines from time to time to get better results. Although I think some of my searching habits can be changed, I believe that the majority of my searching habits will remain the same.
     In conclusion, the information literacy had some good points and helpful tips, but the way that I search will most likely remain the same. I look to improve some aspects of the way that I search by using different search engines from time to time. Overall, it is never bad to learn new information and I think that the Mapping Information activities were helpful.
