In-class activity

Write a blog post in which you cite the earliest example you can find of a book and of different kinds of articles that talk primarily about Google Scholar. The items you will want to find will be those that focus on Google Scholar, not just mention it in passing. You’ll need to find one of each of these:

• Newspaper article. Use Factiva to search.
• Magazine article. Use MasterFILE Premier to search.
• Journal article. Use Library Literature and Information Science Full Text to search.
• Book. Use WorldCat to search.

Make sure that you use MLA citation style when you cite your sources in your blog post. Here are some guides to MLA citation that I find useful:

• Purdue OWL: MLA Formatting and Style Guide
• Research and Documentation Online

Tips

• You may want to figure out early on when Google Scholar was launched as a service by Google. That will give you some perspective as you search.
• When you run your searches in these tools, look for ways to sort your search results by date of publication (oldest articles first).
