Using your favourite metaphor, describe the most important lesson that you had learnt in your EIR journey.

I guess this is my last post of my EIR blog. I really enjoy EIR very much despite i need to wake up early for lesson. The most important lesson i learnt in EIR is that we get to use all the search facilities and the feature. I would write down here so everyone who read my blog will know each search facilities. Google could help you search the Web, Usenet, and images thus allows me to go to a wider range of variety of websites be it personal and organizational websites. Scholar allows me to find articles from 1991 to current year and search articles written by a specific reporter that is specialized about gambling. Meta Search Engine allows more of the web to be searched at once than any one stand-alone search engine. Subject directory are categorized by topics into subcategories which will narrow your search, thus you would find your materials effectively. I think we should make use of all the search facilities instead of one.

I think i will describe myself as a processor. I would say that before joing EIR i am a Platinum 1 processor where i run everything very slowly just like the speed of my research. I could take 1 day to finish my research. But after learning everything about internet research, i can proudly say that i am not Platinum 1 anymore. I can research faster using different type of search facilities. Thanks to EIR and of course our lecturer faridah:)


Write a paragraph summarizing your findings on your research topic.

After days of researching, I found out that Youth gambling is similar to adult gambling in that it is an activity that implies an element of risk, where money or something of sentimental or monetary value could be won or lost by the participant. Youth problem gambling also causes disruptions in major areas of life (psychological, physical, social, and educational/vocational).
