On October 7, 2012, I used the Gale
Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) search feature for the general topic of “privacy”.
I found two interesting articles (the first article yielded only about 13
keywords of interest so I skimmed a second, related article from the choice to “narrow
down” by selection with a subcategory. This produced the following keywords related
to my subject: internet, technology, ethics, constitutional privacy, decisional
privacy, tort privacy, informational privacy, nanotechnology, communication, spyware, bio-metrical data, authentication, data protection, transaction-generated
information, panoptic environment, hackers, internet, firewall, network
security, cyber-criminals plagiarism, viruses, hypertext, and GPS. The search
process was easy and the exercises performed on the IRIS website were helpful.
From the “Research Notes” section, I used their suggestions for capturing
information to use in this blog. I also captured the citation information with
my Zotero software, another recommendation from the IRIS tutorials. I will
refer back to these two, general subject encyclopedias, and their sources
should I perform more research on this subject. This initial process only took
about an hour.
