Library Ethnography Assignment
Our group did the topic: How do you get help using chat reference
When walking into the library i noticed on the flat screen that the chat reference was being advertise. If you have no knowledge about the chat reference that is one way to find out. These are the steps that we took for this project
1. Came up with a research question
2. Typed in the library website page address/ or you can go to the address that was advertised on the flat screen
3. After locating the chat reference simply typed in our question
4. After waiting we verified that the librarian that was helping us fully understands our question
5.Than we went to the link that the librarian gave to us
6. Continued our research
My personal part of the project was: Coming up with the research question and putting the power point together. I chose the background color and design on the power point. I entered in all images and came up with the graphics. I also made the actually power point from scratch on my personal computer. It was also my idea to take the picture of the flat screen TV that advertise the chat reference information.

TRAP
TRAP is what my group came up with
T-trustworthy
R- reference
A-accurate
P-point of view
trustworthy is important because if you are doing some kind of research you would want to know that its reliable.
reference is important because the fact that the information came from creditable source . knowing where the information came from is also important to know if you are saying the right facts
accurate- is important because you wouldn't want to copy or give out the wrong information so knowing that the information has sources and reliable information is an important fact
point of view- knowing what other people think about the information is helping you to know that the facts are actual Facts

Confused
There is actually a couple of this that I’m still confused
about the library. The one thing that caught me off guard was the fact that our
class wasn't held in the "library classroom". The fact that I’m not
that familiar with the library i never could figure out what is the floor is
the quiet floor. I notice that students work in the library but where do i
locate the actual librarians. I’m still
not familiar with all the ways to look up book or other things that i might
need for my future here at West Ga. The only thing that I’m really confused
about with this class is the blogging. The class seems like even though it’s
going to challenge my technology techniques I feel like its worthwhile taking.
The blogging gives me a feeling that this class is going to be a lot harder
than expected. What i am excited about is having about a better knowledge about
the library and the resources that it has to offer me. The thing that really
makes me excited is that just maybe I will no longer be technology dumb
anymore. Maybe I’ll learn to become a better blogger!

Im from originally Manhattan New York but went to school in Gwinnett for a while. My major is psychology I picked psychology as my major because i love the human brain. The fact that or minds are so powerful just amazes me.Im taking this class to help with my research skills. Im hoping that i after this class my skills in the library will improve. The fact that my skills in research are going to get better im hoping that it will help me in other classes. I wish i knew more about different cultures. Peoples background is something that always interest me. The fact that even though we are all humans people view life in such a different way and develop different morals.Im addicted to tattoos and piercings. Even though people have such a negative view on tattoos and piercings i love them. I feel like the fact that you can put a piece of art on your body blows my mind. I have seven tattoos and i love them all equally. Even though i love them so much i have put them in places that can be covered. I want to be a professional psychologist and i want the people that im help to respect me and not necessarily judge me off of my tattoos.
