Searching for References

A modeled example

Dr. Q is searching for URL’s to link to his article Emotional Learning

Ok, the first reference is Emotional Intelligence

That seems like a good enough phrase to start with…let’s see

what we get…

Well, that first one is an

ad, the second one

isn’t the focus I want, let’s look at the third…

…this isn’t what I had in mind, it’s too

focused on what they’re

selling.

Let’s look at the fourth, someone’s

book, hmm, that name

sounds familiar…

This looks like the right

stuff (and the right guy, let’s

scroll down and read

some more…

Yep, reckon this is the right guy, and this sounds like the right stuff,

so I’ll cite him, but it’s not the reference I want, let me try another

approach.

Let’s see what we can find in terms of a definition to point to; maybe it’ll point to Wikipedia or

something (or I can always try there directly)…

That first one sounds

definitive…

Nope, not what I’m

looking for. Back to the

drawing board.

OK, there’s the Wikipedia

definition…

Yep, this looks good.

Now, the second reference is Experience

Economy…

And so on…
