so much stuff on Google Scholar!

In attempting to help one student think about valuable sources for his essay, I found a lot of great sources on Google Scholar. This reminds me, generally, to remind you to be sure that you DEFINE "SLACKTIVISM" ... or whatever your key terms may be (i.e., "social media"). Define by USING sources, not a dictionary. 

My Google Scholar search, for example, pointed me to this book (see left), which is sure to have some interesting claims and effective appeals. One great thing about some of the sources I found is that many pages are available for access, perhaps even enough to get a good sense of the work and to use it as a resource (in the event that you cannot find a full text of full pdf of the work).  

Be flexible! Be creative in your research! Don't give up! Don't wait for me to do it for you; YOU can do this!! 

Have fun ...
