Analysis of Research Skills Learned and The Veldt Story Reflection

This assignment presents a student's reflection on a library module, detailing the key learning experiences and insights gained. The student discusses the value of library services, including the utility of online libraries for research, and highlights the importance of the deep web, emphasizing its role beyond standard search engines. The reflection also covers the effective use of databases for source identification, the significance of keyword searching, and the utilization of online library resources.

Learning about research
 In this library module I learned about library services and this was something to have
learned for the first time. To helped in understanding that online libraries can be very
useful specially when undertaking research about final project.
 The deep web was another important learning from the module in which information
about deep web which is beyond Google and other search engine was learned and how
they can be used for research. Deep web is something that cannot be searched through
search engines and this is why they are known as deep web, these deep web is often
costly unlike Google which is free to be used for making search (Sabri and et.al., 2019).
 Learning from the module was how to use data base to find sources. These are sources
that can be used for the final project and this is a very important learning because to find
valid and reliable sources for final project is very important and this was learned from
this module (Soudzilovskaia and et.al., 2020).
 Searching through keywords was also one thing that I was learned through this module.
Keywords are very important to find right and required information and this is why, it is
very important to learn use of keywords and through this module, use of keywords was
learned.
 Online library resources were also an area of learning that was learned through this
module. This is because to use online library it is very important learn what are the
resources and libraries on internet and where they are available (Liu and et.al., 2020).
This library module was a very effective learning experience and helped in gaining
knowledge that is very important for the purpose of research. Along with this, knowledge of this
can also be used for reading and increasing knowledge.
This module is very important for final project, because final project will require to
research different webs and earlier knowledge was limited to using Google for research. Deep
web and knowledge of how it can be used will help in identifying and locating sites and
information and papers that are reliable and valid. Along with this, through the use of this
knowledge about deep web and online library resources final paper could be made with more
effective information and quality content. This is because valid information and wide

information contributes to overall quality of final paper and final project can also be made with
less time because all required information is available.
Story
The Veldt is a story of George and Lydia and their children Peter and Hadley. They live
in a house that is driven by technology and one of the most expensive and exciting room in the
house is Nursery. Lydia finds something uncommon one day and share her concern with George.
The nursery in their house is made of the glass walls and these have ability to project the
landscapes and environment of any place that the mind of visitor wishes. Lydia senses that
something dark is developing in brain of children (Bradbury, 2018). As George and family sits
together for dinner, George suggests that they are shutting house and will live in simple manner.
George again visit the room and attempts to change scenery to Aladdin. As nothing changes, he
thinks that his children have controlled the environment and he get concerned about unhealthy
obsession of children with veldt. Further story covers behaviour of children when they are told
about shutting nursery and how scenery changes in nursery.
