D#6 HW#6 Search for a Variety of Resources

1) I could use the databases at the campus library to find reputable sources that state the pros and cons of Native tribes owning and operating casinos. I don’t think blogs would help me answer my research question but I think they would be useful in gathering opinions of the community who may have posted a blog(s) about the effects of casinos on them and their community. News-related web sites could definitely help me focus my research as well as periodicals. Books, web sites, periodicals, databases, newspapers, video files from news stations, and journals will hopefully prove to be very useful to me.

2) I think the most authoritive information will be from CQResearcher. The reports offer a little bit of everything and I can usually get more ideas from reading these articles. The only downside is that most of them are 30 pages or more! That’s quite some reading material! But they do offer a lot of information. I plan on using books and websites (static), magazines (syndicated), and interviews and surveys (dynamic).

3) I want to look in .org or .edu websites as they are usually more reputable than .com sites. I’d like to have information that is fairly recent so I won’t be using outdated research unless it pertains directly to the research I’m talking about in my paper, such as the pre-casino Native and non-native communities.
