Thursday, February 11 | EasyBib Set Up & Reading

Who are we as an intellectual community?
How do we analyze and share our academic research?

The proposal focus groups are getting smaller and smaller. We hope that exciting discoveries are being made through research and annotation in disciplinary groups. Today's focus is on documenting academic research, professionally using EasyBib. Also reading...

DO NOW: Prepare materials, tabs, and intentions for today. You will specifically need the citation material and annotation notes+ for your first source.

EasyBib SETUP: As a group, go through the Account and Project Setup steps using your first source.

  • Entering a source into EasyBib is a detail oriented process. It is important to be as specific and complete as possible to get professional results. So, for example, if EasyBib does not recognize the author based on the URL you provide, it is your responsibility to look for an author and enter it yourself. 
  • Entering an annotation into EasyBib is publication, which means that the annotation should already be synthesized from the questions responding to the text and written into a paragraph, like this example.
SHOW and TELL:  When you are finished with your first citation and annotation in EasyBib, have an advisor or peer look it over for detail and professionalism. 

CONTINUE research and annotation. If you need help finding sources, please inquire.

TICKET OUT: Extension - What was one thing you read today that extends your thinking about your topic?
