Read abstracts, introductions, and conclusions.

  3. Decide on a sub-topic. For example: • Digital Humanities/Book History: • the book as a material object; • the roles of editors, book designers, illustrators, and booksellers in shaping texts for readers; • the future of the book; • the status of intellectual property in the age of Google books; • the problems of research in a digital age; • the nature of digital preservation; • the causes and effects of digital piracy; • the place of computer games and game theory in the digital humanities; • the transformation of cultural, literary, and historic texts into digital form, etc.

  4. BA3: Summarize • Be brief. Just one or two sentences. • Look to abstracts and introductions. • If you use someone else’s words or ideas, you must cite CITE! • Check out the handbook (13b) for help deciding when to quote, summarize, and paraphrase.

  5. BA3: Accuracy • How might an article be “accurate”? • How current is the information? • How much detail is present? • What kind of evidence is used? (statistics, case studies, other articles) Does it explain the evidence? • Do other articles cite this article? Check out the Works Cited • Does it seem biased?

  6. BA3: Quality • How might an article be of good quality? • Which database does it come from? • Can you trust the source material? How do you know? • Does it come from a trusted (peer-reviewed) source? • Is the tone professional? • Who wrote it? What is that person’s credentials? Pedigree?

  7. BA3: Relevance • How might an article be relevant to your sub-topic? • For whom is the article written? Can you understand it? • Tell where/how you might use the article. It’s okay to guess or give options. You can always change your mind later. • To establish the concept? To give a brief history of the debate? • Statistical data to support a specific point? • Case study to give this issue a face? • Be as specific as you can.

  8. Helpful Resources • Textbook: • “Tips For Finding Reliable Sources” (103-11) • Annotated Bibliography examples (586-91) • Handbook: sections 12c and 12d • List of articles and bibliographic information: • https://raiderwriter.engl.ttu.edu/files/1302LiteratureReviewTopics.pdf (remember to change the date of access) • Accessing the articles: http://www.lauriandersonalford.com/uploads/9/6/2/8/9628234/ares_training_guide.pdf • Check out the Works Cited of articles you like to find more articles that aren’t on the list. Search those databases. • Search in Google Scholar

  9. Looking Ahead • Literature Review: Due 9/27 • For Next week: • Read pages 124-40 in your textbook • Read examples of Literature Reviews, beginning on page 609 of your textbooks. • Read/print out anything I send you via email. • Come to class with • a thesis that makes a claim based on the literature about the topic, not the topic itself. • Debate among scholars? Different camps of thought? Research styles? Types of evidence used? • Two or three main-idea sentences that address the literature, not the topic itself. • Begin to write! Make notes! Start!
