Home / CC / Finding Sources

Stage 2

Read and Write

Find/read a literati article (see lists below)
Write 50-word summaries of the main idea for each article (not necessarily the main topic)
AT THE MEETING: Discuss the central idea in the article you found

Use bookmarks in a browser
- Bookmark any page you land on.
- make sure the name being saved in the book marks is a word you would remember that relates to the article
Use a note app
- Write some notes about an article
- Copy paste the url into the notes
- I use Lite Writer but there are many free note apps; Litewriter logo looks like this:

Aeon
Pysche Aeon's Sister Site
Big Think
Arts & Letters Daily (If on a phone, click on the Alternate View to see the list of sources A&L pulls from; Or, see below for part of that list from ALDaily)
Science Alert

While videos can be useful, the person in the video and/or the producer of the video must be legitimized.
- Track down the person or organization.
- Just because a lot of people have viewed, liked, or bought a source does not ever mean the source is legitimate.
- Find a textual source for the idea in the video.
- Use the textual source not the video

Often, results on Google scholar are paywalled
If paywalled, use the article name in EFSC's databases to see if the article is available
If not available, email the author directly. Author's of academic papers can freely give away their published papers
Or, check Research Gate. If it's pon Research Gate, I am a member and can request a copy from the author.
Once your name is listed in the PCA schedule as a presenter, you too can become a member of Research Gate (it's free!)
