Hello again: 

Please be patient. We have been having some problems with WebCT in different ways. Not all of you were loaded, even though some of you signed up early. I hope this is corrected by the end of the week. I have had trouble opening your documents--no fault of yours. I was having problems corelating the grade points with the Course Management. I talked to the administrator and got some help. This week we should ALL be on board. I am not cutting points if you were late because of any of these problems. Some of you are still having trouble understanding that you must submit all your assignments via the Submit Assignments Box. This is the only way that I can grade in WebCT. Please try to submit this way and if you still have a problem come in and get some help. Send me email ! Send email within WebCT also. I hope you have all purchased the text book by now. Keep up with your readings. The point is to get a firm understanding of e-research. Get the most out of the course to this end, don't just send in assignments, learn, learn, learn...see you online!

Beginning Survey 

Welcome to my class blog and to Electronic Research. I am happy to have all of you in my online class. LIB015

We are ending Week One on Sunday. Please send in your homework which is a few paragraphs about yourself. First write it on MS Word and then send it via the Submit Assignments box within WebCT. Don't send it to my email and don't send it only via WebCT email. Submit it in the Assignments box so that when I post a grade you can see it in your Get My Grades.

I have opened the Beginning Survey under Tests and Surveys. Click on that link and then on the Beginning Survey and answer the questions. Please don't feel you have to know all the answers to these questions. It is just a test to see what the level of the class is. You will not be graded on your answers but this survey and the End Survey will be included as your class participation for extra credit.

Please note the Drop dates that I have added to the Calendar in WebCT. The last day to drop is April 29. Students who have not participated by that time will be dropped by me. Try to keep up with the class so that you don't have problems later on.
