Here is a recommended short list of research resources. Use it to supplement the reading assignments, or to do research for your essays and scholarly/creative projects.

Zotero Library - Consider intalling Zotero on a FireFox browser. It allows you to collect, manage, and cite your research sources. It puts your citations into any style you prefer and lets you place them directly into your paper or web page. I created a group library for our class. There you can can browse articles and books that are relevant to our course material. If you accept my invitation to become a member, in many cases you can download the files.

Twitter - You can sign up for a free Twitter account and post questions or comments about the course. Use the hashtag #garnsazb. It is also an easy way to share news and information related to the course. You are limited to 140 characters, so use short URLs.

Google Scholar - A Google Scholar search covers many of the scholarly articles available on the internet, and frequently provides access to pdf files. Sign in with your NKU name/PW and modify your preferences to get the most benefit. You can export the citations into Zotero.

JSTOR - An online system for storing journals. Easy to search and download pdf files. Log in with your NKU name/PW. Easy to export citations and articles into Zotero.

EBSCOhost - Another online system for storing journal and magazine articles. Log in with your NKU name/PW. Select EBSCOhost Web and the databases you want to use (you can select them all). Easy to export citations and articles into Zotero.

PhilPapers - ”PhilPapers is a comprehensive directory of online philosophy articles and books by academic philosophers. We monitor journals in many areas of philosophy, as well as archives and personal pages.” Easy to search articles related to your search and to export citations.

Diigo - Diigo is an online community for storing and sharing bookmarks. You can highlight and annotate web pages. Create a free account and add the FireFox toolbar. I created a group library for our class. Accept the invitation and you can add bookmarks.

APA Style and Format Guide - You are free to use any style with which you feel comfortable, but you must use some accepted format when you submit formal papers or post them on the wiki site for this class. The APA style is one that I recommend.
