I am happy to report I am done with the project. Overall I would say I am a better database searcher now. Although I think I lean a bit heavily on my AND command, I have enjoyed truncation and even the occasional field search.
As I annotated my bibliography, I also felt I learned a lot about the research topic. Although I won't be organizing this into an actual literature review any time soon, I can see themes forming around user age and other demographics, visual features vs. content, the effect of domain names, the effect of purpose in searching in credibility criteria looked for, brand trust, and more.
For anyone curious, here is the almost final* version: https://viewer.zoho.com/docs/kcd2bi
*The first citation should actually read "seeking out .edu domains" -- oops!
Hi

I opened your “almost final project” and let me tell you it is very interesting and valuable information.
It is a great job. I am sure that you have learned a lot and that this research add up to your knowledge.
Congratulation!
Thanks for you comment on my blog, Itzelda. I couldn't post a comment on yours, but wanted to tell you I enjoyed looking over your lesson (and taking the solar system quiz). The lesson seems like it would be really fun for students, while really promoting learning.
