Mini Report
The justification for joining this activity is that the UTM library aims to learn the skill on basic information-searching skills and research methodology. I have taken part in this event with the purpose of upskilling my searching skills to improve myself during the webinar.
The content of the event is the speaker giving the talk on how to access electronic information from the open access resources and the ways to use Endnote. Besides, the speaker teaches us to be more efficient in searching for information as good searching skills will help us save a lot of time. Turnitin was introduced to us to let the audience understand on how to use Turnitin to check the plagiarism.
The graduate attribute that is focused on this activity was scholarship. Throughout the webinar, we learn to improve ourselves on the searching skill in order to help us in doing our research. This skill will help us on saving a lot of time since we can focus on what we actually need and avoid useless information and this filtering ability can increase our working efficiency which may help us in the future.
Self-reflection
This event gives me an impact on the importance of information searching skills and others skill related to our information search. It is a beneficial skill for us, especially for university students who need to do references for their research. By having this skill, I believe that searching for information will not be a trouble for me to do the research. Besides, I also thanks UTM library for introducing Turnitin and EndNote to us since it was really helpful in doing my research.
My self-strength in the event is the ability to search for and manage information. All research required us to find out the reference in proving our results. Therefore, this ability allows me to avoid wasting too much time on finding the information from the resource provided.
