Module#4

Organising Search Information
Choose the best three sources found in the previous task (and be aware all these sources and information can be contributing to your resource bank assignment!)
Using whatever software or tool you think appropriate, record the following information about those sites:
URL.
author,
institution,
blurb/ summary / screen shot (this can be a direct copy of an appropriate abstract or introductory paragraph on the site: but make sure you record and reference it as such)
Again, using any useful software you have downloaded, or utilising your existing software, record this information on your computer in the way that you think will be most useful to you in terms of preparing for your third assignment (that is, in terms of how easy you will find it to access, retrieve, understand, contextualise and recall why you saved it - and with what!).

Summary:This site is an information research paper, entitled "Making Sense Of The Web: a Metaphorical Approach" written by Lee Ratzan. The idea here is to enable people to use the web more effectively, thereby understanding how the web works, how metaphors are used to make using the web easier by relating tasks to objects or tasks we use in the real world, eg: "surfing" the net or using the information "highway".

Summary:This site features, reviews, articles, newsletters, whitepapers etc on varying topics from technology to film and music. Helpful information is available on just about anything you're looking for, I found it particularly useful when researching internet security.
I stored these sources at diigo, I also use connotea, but found diigo more suited to my needs. It provides the option of adding sticky notes to the actual web page, highlights specific parts of the text, which I found easy to retrieve. One click and you can record your site/article in diigo with the addition of a great little toolbar. Once bookmarked, I can easily access my bookmarks again with the use of the toolbar. Being taken to my bookmarks page, brings up a list of all sites I have added, by clicking on the links, that site is opened and appears just the way you left it, sticky notes and highlighting still there.
