Question #1:
  • Take the practice quiz located on our class home page.
  • How did you do?
  • Tell me something you learned from this quiz.

    Questions #2 - #4
    When I study for an exam, I like to review and re-read the material that was presented in the class. As we have looked at so many different sites, I would like you to review some of them again, just as you would if you were studying for a “real” final.

  • Look at the list of sites below.
  • Open each of them and take a quick look.
  • Think about which ones interest you most and then ...
  • Select three sites to review.

    Question #2:

  • What is the name of the first site you decided to review?
  • What does the Librarians' Index to the Internet say about this site?
  • Find out by entering the title of the site into the Librarians'Index to the Internet search box.
  • http://lii.org
  • Stop! Please do not “copy and paste” the LII description into your answer. Take a minute, read the LII description and then briefly (i.e. one short sentence) tell me, in your own words something about the site.
  • Next, use the site.
  • Look for some information (different than what we did previously) and tell me what you find or something you learn from the site.

    Question #3:

  • What is the name of the first site you decided to review?
  • What does the Librarians' Index to the Internet say about this site?
  • Find out by entering the title of the site into the Librarians'Index to the Internet search box.
  • http://lii.org
  • Stop! Please do not “copy and paste” the LII description into your answer. Take a minute, read the LII description and then briefly (i.e. one short sentence) tell me, in your own words something about the site.
  • Next, use the site.
  • Look for some information (different than what we did previously) and tell me what you find or something you learn from the site.

    Question #4:
