HUMN 9001D: Communities of Practice and Research 1 Assignment: Library Research Professor Garth Den Heyer Markita Folkes September 10, 2022
2 Assignment: Library Research Library Research Conducting library research is very important when it comes to deciding on a particular topic or issue. When conducting my library research, I took several steps that have guided me into finding resources that are related to my focus for the Capstone Project. First, I had to be very clear on what I wanted to research. For this particular topic, there will be a lot of time spent and dedication so I chose a topic that I am very interested in, have a bit of knowledge on and would not mind learning more about. Secondly, I did not spend a lot of time trying narrow the topic down because I will spend a lot of time refining the topic, the deeper I got into research. The next step that I took was identifying key words that thoroughly describe my topic. I felt that this was important because it will filter out and eliminate and resources that could possibly be unrelated. Next, I decided to look deeper into the topic by finding background information. By using the key words that I have selected, I was able to locate background information that also aided in refining my topic so that it was not as general or too broad. By completing the steps mentioned, I was able to use the research databases to find resources effectively. It is important to improve and refine research skills for this doctoral program because it enables students to identify key issues and collect informational resources that can assist with the issue. It also will help and guide the researcher into planning their research strategy effectively. The articles that I chose will greatly assist me in my journey as a human services professional. The topic that I have selected focuses on why it is so hard for participants to leave the housing programs. For example, the article by Shin, highlights the problem of inter-generational poverty in federal housing programs. By conducting research and using this article, it will better help me to understand the struggles that the participants have when it comes to getting off of the program
