Wiki

Several months ago, I spent two days at a middle school telling the students how to find reliable sources online. "Library database: good." "Wikipedia: bad." A site where anyone can change information without proving their expertise is not a relevant source for a research paper. I admit, I sometimes browse Wikipedia just for fun, or to get a preliminary idea of my subject. But you have to take what you see with a grain of salt. If you like Star Wars, check out Wookieepedia.

Rollyo

I created a Rollyo searchroll for genocide and human rights sites and blogs. I am sure I will add more as I come across them.

I had some difficulty posting the Rollyo bar on my blog. Thanks for your help, Glaucia!



Library Thing

As someone with a vast library at home, Library Thing would be great to help me "catalog" my collection. If I had the time, that is. I may be able to get ideas for books to read by perusing the groups. Assuming the posters have anything intelligent and coherent to say.
