Practical 2

Activity 1

I have gone to personal websites as well as organisational websites.

One of the personal websites is that I went is
http://globalsociology.edublogs.org/ . The author of this webpage is SocProf and he produces blog posts on the blog with proper references to sites such as BBC.

One of the organisational website that I visited is
http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/ . This is the official website of the National Institutes of Health that provides people with information on clinical studies as well as grants and contracts.


Activity 2

I used
http://www.google.com/ , http://www.yahoo.com/ and http://www.mamma.com/ as search facilities. I used words such as "AIDS", "HIV Health issues", "HIV", "HIV prevention", "HIV development" and "HIV/AIDS Research".

Organizational websites are usually broken up into many different categories such as news and events whereas personal websites like blogs usually have a main page for the main content.

The biblography of the resources where i obtained information from so far are as follows...
