social media in research
pathfinders

social media in research
pathfinders
• While we often think of ways to use social
media to create virtual libraries, we need to
consider how to integrate different social
media as authoritative information sources
into our research pathfinders.
• As we forge this brave new world of social
scholarship, students and teachers will look to
us for guidance in selecting and evaluating
social media as valid sources of information.

podcasts

podcasts
• Rick Stevens’ Audio France podcasts for a
research pathfinder on places to see in Paris.
• Nature Podcasts: a treasure trove for all things science
• Science Friday, NPR: they also offer a Twitter account and
Facebook page; a Second Life presence is also available.
• Scientific American offers podcasts on a wide range of topics
related to psychology and the sciences. I have used these in
Pageflakes pathfinders!
• PBS and American Experience offer podcasts on a diverse
range of topics including history, biography, and literature; I
have used podcasts on the Berlin Airflift and the Space Race
with U.S. History classes.

podcasts
• Podcasts from CNN
• NPR offers a variety of podcasts; this podcast
on
issues female veterans face upon their return hom
was a valuable resource for students
researching veterans’ issues.
• Podcasts from CNN and iTunes U were also
utilized in our study of veterans’ issues.
• Podcasts from the U.S. Government
