RJA #7d

I didn't use my site assigned for my RJA 7 because I didn't find that it was useful for my topic.

RJA #7c: Field Research Plan

I want to find out the effects caused by female genital mutilation. Both physical and emotion effects caused by female genital mutilation. I am going to be reading a lot of biographies on Female Genital Mutilation... and "if" I can find someone who has gone through this procedure, I hope to interview that person and ask what FGM did to them emotionally and physically.

RJA #7b: Internet Research Tool Test

* Jeffcolibrary.com
* Female Genital Mutilation
* I don't think I really need to use search strategies for my topic.
* 10-18-09
* I am not sure what the number of hits is.

RJA #7a: Internet Research Tools

I used the public libraries site a lot. I found out that the journal entries helped out a lot in my field of interests. There were a lot biographies of young women that had gone through FGM. I actually found that the other methods of research did not help when I was trying to find my topic.
