Week 7 Lectorial: RMIT Library

The sheer amount of publications in the World Wide Web is astronomically vast and complex, so knowing first, if the article you are reading is valid but also secondly, is it a scholarly publication is a near insurmountable task without resources like the RMIT Library. Prior to this lecture I had the littlest idea of how complex and helpful the online library can be for any students, but particularly for media students. One may say that this particular lecture was dry, and perhaps it was, but it did, however explain the way the online library works and how incredibly imperative it is to understand this tool and use it in upcoming projects, particularly the group collaborative project. The idea that you have an amazing amount of publications and articles literally at your fingers is an amazing resource, one that I will truly utilise in the upcoming project brief, in which one of the required task is an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography requires one to research a chosen topic using scholarly resources and then surmise the piece of writing. Without tools like the online library this feat will be far more challenging.
