Week 3: Assignment 2

With this week’s tutorials and new tools/strategies, I was able to find books/e-books with much more detailed information about my topic. The Leatherby Libraries and Google Advanced search tools helped me to find specifically what I was looking for. The tutorials and text taught me how to enter the proper key words in order to find specific information. In my case, I did not use the “and” or “or” terms; however that information will be useful for my future research.

            After finding several relevant and current sources, I decided to use the book, Understanding eating disorders: integrating culture, psychology and biology by Yael Latzer, Joav Merrick, and Daniel Stein. This book provided me with more information about cultural aspects of eating disorders as well as the history and psychological changes. The only frustration I had during this process was the amount of information that I had to skim through. Because books are much lengthier and contain additional information, I felt it somewhat overwhelming to have to skim through and see if the books was appropriate and informative.
