Dr. Lubach's Presentation and the Library Visit

I really enjoyed Dr.Lubachs presentation because he had a wide array of topics that tied a central theme together. I liked the back story as to how UCSB was able to lure our chancellor Henry T. Yang. I would have probably came here for the same reason. Its awesome that our chancellor has also made such great contributions to the sciences. I have always heard that Reddit is a great way to learn, debate and gain different perspectives  and after Dr. Lubach's presentation I decided it was time to learn more about this social networking site. I was impressed by his suggestion on how to be slick and ask a girl out on the sunset cruise. I found it cool/ironic his suggestions on how one should explore themselves as well as express themselves. I found the Storke Tower hacking story really amusing and I was glad that he was able to recognize the music from Portal. I am really grateful that we had the opportunity to learn a more in depth way on how to research on the internet. I had no idea how to do this, and a lot of my friends have library research so they try and explain it to, but I hadn't been able to grasp the idea. I think its awesome how you can access so much even if your not located in the library. I had no idea that there were so many journal publications available. I think I will be using Academic Search Complete most of the time since I am most familiar but I will definitely look into the other search engines. I’m also glad that they have such a quick response time when reserving a book from the whole UC library system.
