Assignments

Post a discussion question to the course blog.

Explore H-NET and Zotero groups.

Sign up for Twitter, Friendfeed, Facebook, LinkedIn, LibraryThing, YouTube, Flickr, and GoodReads if you haven’t already. Are there other social networks that might be useful for you in a professional or a personal capacity?

Use one or more these social networks to find experts in your field. Ask at least one person to recommend resources related to your research topic.

Search Twitter at http://search.twitter.com for comments about your topic or your field, and/or read the Twitter feed of an expert in your field.

Continue your independent research — by now you should be amassing a significant bibliography. Be sure to weed out sources that you won’t actually use in your research. It’s also a good idea to keep track of what you’ve weeded out.Coll
