The topic of my research is gay people and social acceptances. I am looking for both general background information and more specific  information on my topic. To locate my book, I went to the website of SCSU and clicked on the library. In the rectangular box. I typed the name of the book. I looked the option to overview what is written.I wrote the name and the call number. I went to library and looked for the same call number and got the book. I was successful at the first try because  the call number helped me to look for the book. There were not any Ebook availabke in OPAC. I like reading Ebook because it is portable even in your pocket. You can have lot of Ebooks in your computer. I got a moble device that allow me to read an Ebook. It was totally different than reading the traditional book. The best thing is you do not have to carry big bulks of books.  You can access to your book any time and anywhere you like.

vulnerable population

I think I should learn more about LGBT populations over the course of this semester. This is the population that has  lots of social and political negligence. They are struggling against of the society for their existence. Many people are fighting for equality between LGBT population and other. I assume that these people are not treated equally even today. I learn about LGBT population from other people talking about them. The most difficult challenges that I will have after doing this research population is there might lot of argument form the readers view point about my study.
