On to my next results and this week I will be researching the Papyrus scrolls. For this week I will be using the online version of Encyclopaedia Britannica which is a virtual reference tool. You have to buy a subscription to Britannica in order to use it, but I have used the one provided by Swinburne. I had to go to the Swinburne library databases and find the Britannica website link. Once I found it, I could log in with my student ID and freely use Britannica. First I searched 'Papyrus scrolls' and the results came back with a few specific scrolls which are my selections for this week. There are quite a few unrelated results that you sort of have to filter through, but majority were somewhat related.
The items I have chosen from Britannica are two different Papyrus scrolls, I thought choosing specific scrolls would be good because it gives you more of a general understanding about a particular scroll. Britannica offers the user to further investigate different scrolls if you so desire.

 I also found a podcast of a particular Papyrus scroll, I thought this podcast would be great because it gives you a little bit of a different experience. I used Google to find this podcast, I just searched 'Papyrus scrolls podcast' and it was pretty much the first result that came up. 

So the difficulties this week, I didn't really have many problems again. The only thing I would have to complain about is that Britannica didn't really seem to have a vast range of materials to choose from. So I sort of had to make do with what I found; they were good items though. The podcast was relatively easy to find and it was interesting. 

In conclusion there were a couple of good finds this week. Two good and basic explanations of different scrolls and an interesting podcast about 'the book of the dead' scroll.

• Week 2 was the website for clay tablets and a YouTube video regarding Gilgamesh tablets.
• Week 3 was the book about The Dead Sea scrolls and a short YouTube video about them.
•  Week 4 was the subject directory page about the spread of the original alphabet and its adaptation by various peoples around the world. 
• Week 5 we have the two items from Britannica and the podcast about the book of the dead.
