UIR Lesson

UIR Lesson

Finally, UIR lesson has come to an end and I felt that UIR is a very beneficial subject as it is related to my day to day work. I can make use of what I have learnt in UIR and applies it when I am doing my research. Also, I have learnt how to evaluate the different categories of information resources on Internet and the quality of different Internet resources and much more.

During the 2 assignment, I have managed to evaluate the various internet search facilities and also to evaluate on the internet resources. From these 2 assignments given, I manage to know which internet search facilities are more efficient in doing research and their various function such as the preference icon and the advanced search icon that will help us to narrow down our searches. In addition, other than the usual search engine I have used, Yahoo, I am also exposed to other search facilities such as MetaData- Meta Crawler, Subject Directory- Galaxy etc.

UIR also enhances my knowledge in categorizing the Internet Resources and able to identify difference categories such as WWW sites, Online Forum, Databases etc
I am also able to identify the different purposes of Internet resources such as advocacy, entertainment and information etc.
In summary, I think that UIR let me exposed to a lot of things which I have never knoe before and with these learning and skills, I think I am able to do my research more successfully. Thanks UIR :)
