Information literacy

When searching for growing technology I CCBC library database. I choose this
database because it allows you access to scholarly journals and articles, which assures
accurate information and data in the articles. The key word I choose to use was emerging
technology, which is showing all upcoming technology to society being discovered and
tested.

The second article I searched I used the key words were webcam hackers. The title
for this article is 'Creepy' search engine taps into private webcams. This article was
published January 26, 2016. The publisher of the article is Neal Colgrass, I would be lead
to believe that Colgrass is qualified to write this article because; he has many other pieces
that have been published by many other large new sites such as Newser. This article was
to inform the public on whats going on around them and how they can try and prevent it

would go for a scholarly article, but when it comes to accessing scholarly articles its not
as easy as a internet search. I can find many articles relating to a topic on the Internet in
seconds but if I am trying to receive a scholarly journal it is hard to access if you do not
go to a school where they allow you to have access to them for free. If you want good
information that you can trust has been verified I would use a journal even though it is
harder to attain.
