Schedule Edited:

1) In an effort to shift focus to individual student projects, Source Report 1's due date is being moved from Thursday to a week from today. Today's sole focus at the library today will be finding sources that may be useful to our project, through direct or inspiring your ideas.

2) On Thursday, 9/24: we will discuss our proposals and the kinds of texts we found on Library Day 1.

3) On Tuesday, 9/29: Source Report 1 will be due, and we will discuss Engaging Communities Ch 4: Framing Ethical Research and Beginning Fieldwork. (Which means we will NOT be reading "In the Realm of the Censors" at this time.)

Also, here was an e-mail you may have gotten...that could help you in your research project:
