Module 2 Short Responses – Question 1 What types
of primary and secondary sources will you need to use to support the topic you are examining in your essay? You don't need the actual sources yet, but you should have an idea of what they might be (such as an eyewitness account of an event, for example).
The types of primary sources I intend to incorporate into my goal of answering the research question I wrote in last week's module, will rely on primary sources such as firsthand accounts and original speeches.
The secondary source types that I will use to research my chosen topic will include scholarly research publications, expert analysis, and perhaps even research journal reviews.
Module 2 Short Responses – Question 2 What are two or three keywords you could use to look for sources to answer this question?
1. Irish immigrants
2. Sandhogs
3 Brooklyn Bridge
4. New York construction industry
Module 2 Short Responses – Question 3
What subject terms can you use to continue your search?
1. Immigration History
2. Labor history
3. Urban development
4. Infrastructure projects
Module 2 Short Responses – Question 4 When you search for "construction," you get a lot of extraneous answers. What [?]Boolean operators[/?] and corresponding search terms could you use to narrow your search?
To narrow down search results when looking for information on construction, some examples
of effective Boolean search terms and their corresponding search terms are:
Use "construction" AND "Irish immigrants" to find sources specifically related to the intersection of construction and Irish immigrants.
Utilize "construction" NOT "residential" to exclude residential construction from the search results.
Use "construction" AND ("urban development" OR "infrastructure") to focus on topics where
construction intersects with urban development or infrastructure projects.
