I'm really glad we were able to catch up with Major Boynton last class. I think it cleared up a lot of questions we had about how to organize our sources, and how things are already done at the Salvation Army. It was also probably reassuring for the Major to know that we are on track, and that we'll be providing the Salvation Army with useful information that will make it all worth our time and effort.

I also would like to start thinking of our research as more helpful to the Salvation Army in the context of what they already know. We as students probably wouldn't be able to do much with these sources, but these experienced professionals will know how to really utilize the information that only we would be able to provide for them. It's really a win-win for everyone. We get this amazing experience, and the Salvation Army gets information on how they can continue to help the impoverished people of Canton.

The information that I'm learning in this class will probably be relevant for my job, especially if I work in a public library. I also would've used this in my other classes if I'd taken this class earlier in my college career.

I think I could also use information on how to tell if a website is credible in my life outside of academics and my career. For example, if I try to find a recipe for dishwasher detergent, I could use CRAAP to decide which recipe is best.
