A Transcript of... Ideas 11 Visit The Library |
|
Thanks for joining me on another episode of Writing Tips for Content Creators. In the next few episodes we'll be wrapping up our series on doing research and generating ideas. Here's one that might seem “old school” but it's as relevant today as it was yesterday... 11. Visit the Library. The library has been around for many years offering archived and new information on millions of subjects. New technology has allowed most libraries to offer better search tools, thus resulting in better results. If you need to locate information about a specific event that happened in 1957, you can go back to the archived microfilm and locate that very information. Old newspaper stores, obituaries, weddings, and births can all be found. Although the Internet has become the number one tool for conducting research, the library is still a viable source and in some instances, is still better. Plus, you've got an assistant at the Library -- the Librarian! Ask her (or him) for help finding what you are looking for (much of it is even computer driven these days). The library might be old, but it's not outdated as a research tool. |
