Jessy started with the General Resources and picked a
multi-discipline database she knew well from her high school, Academic Search (EBSCO). Jessy also wanted to make sure that she could put her topic context of what was going on with conservation of peatlands in general or in relation to the rest of Asia. So, she did a basic search using the terms “peatland restoration and Asia” and limited her results to scholarly/peer-reviewed journals since this was a requirement of the assignment.
While she did not find a lot of articles, the ones she found were extremely relevant to her topic. With her confidence growing Jessy wanted to see what the Key Resources section of the guide had to offer. After reading the descriptions of the different databases she chose ScienceDirect and performed another search using the terms "peatlands and Soil Conservation and Indonesia". Jessy found a group of amazing articles that spoke directly to soil conservation problems and solutions of peatlands specific to her geographic area. Jessy had found enough information to start her paper but she wanted a diversified bibliography and to also impress the Climate Queen. She navigated to the Government Information libguide used a resource, She was now ready to start reading the books and articles she tracked down but understood where to look and what to do if she needed more information.
