Finding reliable sources
This document provides guidance on how to evaluate internet sources for research. It explains that credible sources are written by authors in their field of study and cite other sources. While older sources on topics like the Civil War can still be reliable, sources less than 10 years old are generally better. Websites without clear authors should be avoided unless they are from universities, governments, or reputable organizations ending in .edu, .gov, or .org, with exceptions like Wikipedia. Scholarly journals are peer-reviewed, have abstracts, and are written by experts in the field, whereas magazines may cite sources but are written by staff. The document provides examples of different types of sources and factors to consider when evaluating sources.
Using Websites and MLA
The document discusses how to properly cite web sources using MLA format. It provides examples of citing different types of web sources, including articles with authors, articles without authors, and websites. The key components of a MLA citation for a web source are listed as the author, article name, name of site, publisher or sponsor, date of publication or last update, and date of access.

Karen Sturgill presents on the social media site Academia.edu. Academia.edu is defined as a social media network for academics to share research papers and interests. It has over 10.5 million members who can upload papers, read others' work, and find researchers with similar interests. Unlike sites like Facebook, Academia.edu has a more serious focus on research sharing between academics.
Citing Sources (High School Life project)
The document provides guidance on evaluating information sources and citations for a high school research project. It discusses evaluating websites for reliability based on purpose, authority, objectivity and currency. Students are encouraged to compare multiple sources and always cite sources properly. The document also provides examples of citing a novel and personal interview in MLA format.

Filtering Twitter
This document discusses using Twitter lists to filter social media content by topic. It notes that 75% of online news consumers get news shared through social media, and over half share links. Twitter lists allow manually grouping users by topic discussed. The approach aims to automatically identify the niche topic of a Twitter list in real-time, improving the topic identification based on the global Twitter stream. Both textual and social features would be used to classify tweets, examining the interconnectedness of users in lists to identify central vs outlier users.

Wikipedia: An Essential 2-Minute Guide for Students and Educators
Wikipedia has been a hotly debated topic when it comes to research. Some people (often students) don't see the problem with it and some people (often professors/educators) refuse to have anything to do with it. The subject really comes down to the vital need to apply strong critical thinking skills while using Wikipedia.
Some time ago I created a short (~2 min) slideshow presentation that orients students and educators as to what Wikipedia really is and emphasizes the need to apply good critical thinking skills while using Wikipedia. As educators, I think you will find it useful in having a clear guide on how to evaluate information you yourself might find on Wikipedia. For students, it's really aimed at students who are at or above the level of having to find and use other references in their own research. At this level they will likely be turning to Wikipedia at some point or another in their research, so it is good for them to have the right frame of mind when using Wikipedia.

This document discusses Wikidata and WikiCite's role as central hubs for open knowledge and citations. It notes that Wikidata is a free knowledge base with over 20 million items and 100 million statements that is edited by volunteers. WikiCite aims to build a repository of citations from Wikimedia projects to improve coverage, quality and machine-readability of citations. Examples are given of using Wikidata and SPARQL to query biomedical information and citations. Challenges and opportunities are discussed around expert curation, open data, and accelerating impact of open access.
RSS intro to a cit/gov class
The document introduces various online content aggregators and RSS feeds related to news topics like the US presidential election. It provides instructions on how to find and subscribe to RSS feeds from websites like the New York Times, Washington Post, Google News, Flickr, and social bookmarking sites like Delicious. The purpose is to demonstrate how RSS allows one to aggregate content from various online sources into a single personalized news feed.
Evaluating Websites
This document provides guidance on evaluating the credibility and reliability of information found online. It lists several criteria for evaluation, including checking for up-to-date information, dead links, author credentials, sources and evidence cited, date of creation vs update, biases, and organizational structure. Sample questionable websites are provided to test the evaluation skills. Key differences between freely accessible websites and subscription databases are outlined.
Using RSS Personally and Professionally
The document discusses RSS (Really Simple Syndication), which allows users to automatically keep up with frequently updated content from websites through RSS feeds. It provides examples of the types of information available through RSS feeds, including clinical guidelines, news headlines, journal tables of contents, and more. It also discusses RSS logos, feed readers and aggregators that can be used to organize RSS feeds, and provides examples of using RSS feeds for tasks like environmental scanning, market research, and adding third-party content to one's own website.

Research ready wikipedia_ebook
Wikipedia is a large online encyclopedia that is created and edited by users. While it contains a lot of information, users should evaluate Wikipedia articles carefully because anyone can edit or change the content. To determine if a Wikipedia article is reliable, users should look at factors like whether the article is locked, if it has a history of changes and edits, the references and sources cited, and any warnings or notices about the article's reliability. While Wikipedia can provide background information on a topic, teachers and librarians may advise against using it as a source in research papers.

Week 12 Wikipedia-centric presentation on:
-Clay Shirky's Personal Motivation Meets Collaborative Production
-Andrew Keen's Cult of the Amateur
This presentation walks through Shirky's points, explaining how Wikipedia is held as the ideal model of collaborative production in today's Web 2.0 world. However, it also goes beyond the readings in introducing the WikiScanner and all it has uncovered. This implies that the real issue may not be what Keen calls the "endless digital forest of mediocrity", but the fact that "Wikipedia entries are being used as a medium for corporate propaganda".
Presentation week5
The document discusses who deserves to be believed in online media. It suggests that bloggers may deserve to be believed due to their niche expertise and transparency. Websites provided by non-profit organizations or institutions also may deserve belief because they release news more objectively. Additionally, websites with strict monitoring mechanisms that can delete incorrect news may deserve to be believed. Determining who deserves trust in online media is important as more people receive news that way.

- The internet consists of billions of web pages both publicly accessible and within private networks. Search engines only index a fraction of available pages.
- Key strategies for effective searching include choosing appropriate keywords, selecting the right search tools, and evaluating the reliability of information found.
- Much information is contained in the "deep web" of databases not accessible to search engines, requiring use of specialized search sites.
- Users should carefully evaluate websites for authority, credibility, accuracy, and potential biases before fully relying on information. Looking at the URL, domain, author credentials, and outside reviews can help assess reliability.
Research on the Web
