Description

Together, as a research network, we will update the 2009 presentation "Web 2.0 & Academic Research & 10 Tools" and the 2008 presentation "Scholarly Research: Internet & Web2.0." We accept that research tools and places to go change daily. What keeps good research, good? We do. Researchers can stand tall in crowds of change. Why? What is consistent? What works today, now? We have questions. We need solutions. Join us and get ready for the surprise return of the old way of doing things dressed new. A bit more detail, perhaps: Academics in today’s colleges and universities investigate primary resources of fact on mobile devices and notebook computers. Mention “databases” to faculty researchers and watch eyes gloss over as memories of passwords, proxy IDs, methods of Boolean searching and abstracted articles flood recent memory. This 2010 presentation, Research Networks & 15 Tools, explores where the “primary” is in research. Can we cite our solution’s conclusions? Is there anything that cannot be found without Google search? The tools are in front of us as our vision gets sharper and wider and deeper. Come ready to offer your ideas, questions and solutions. We’re well into networking in the 2010 version of information access and retrieval.
