Assignment 5: online collaboration tools

Hi!

When we were given this week Assignment, I was a bit lost, because I didn't understand what exactly the Assignment is. So I decided to work with my group members to see, if one of them understand what we have to do.
This week Assignment was get to know online collaboration tools and at the same time, we get to known a few scholars. 

I had to pick two scholars  from our list (Group 6: Scholars 51 - 60) and Archive all a-v resources that I was able to found with different Search Engines .






Archive
o       Zotoro  
o       Mendeley
I used only Zotoro Library (Like I said in last week assignment, I prefer Zotoro because is always by your hand in your right lower corner of the computer-screen) for Archive and when I search on Mendeley I used Mendeley Library also.
-      Search engines
o       Google Scholar
o       Google Books
o       Amazon 
o       YouTube
o       Mendeley
o       Vimeo
o       Scribd
o       FDV Library 
 
I decided to Look  for: Douglas Kellner - University of California, Los Angeles, USA and John J. Pauly - St. Louis University, USA.

For both of my Scholars I used the same Search engines, and I found a lot of different information on them. I saved all my findings in Zotoro personal Library and than made a report about my scholars were I used only a few of my findings.

I found a lot more on Douglas Kellner, so his part is a little more interesting and more in detail made - with more video clips and with more URL connections, but I also found few information on John J. Pauly, so his part is also supported with video clips and URL connections.



It was an interesting assignment to do, and I hope that I made it correctly.

Talk to you soon!

4th Assignment - Zotero

Hi!


This week assignment was Get to know Zotero and see if you like it and use it.

 I have worked together with my group members Danaja and Tjaša throw Facebook-Communication, so that we had help each other.
At the beginning we were a bit lost, but than when we have downloaded Zotero, the Zotero helped us with the presentation video about Zotero.

My impression about Zotero is actually pretty good, because I like that the Zotero Library is always by your hand in the lower right corner. And when I search throw Internet and I see something that mind come in handy one day I just save it to Zotero Library.

So if I have to compare Zotero with Medneley, I would choose Zotero, even dough that Mendeley is I guess a bit easier that Zotero.

Talk to you soon!

Assignment 3: Using reference management software, Mendeley

Hi!


This week assignment was get to know Mendeley. For this database search I never heard before, and so I had no idea what to expect. I saw a few different tutorials, for example what Mendeley is, and how to use it.

My classmate Danaja created a Mendeley public group, named Group 6, which is really helpful, because that how our group members can share information on our database search.

Our group (group 6) had to find different articles on theme  POLITICS-NEW MEDIA, we had divided our search responsibility, I search throw pages from 8 to 11, and the other pages are divided to my group members (Tesa 1-3; Mateja 4-7, Tjaša 12-15, Danaja 16-19).

I was really impressed with Mendeley when I saw, that I can save an article about our topic to my Mendeley Desktop, and I don't need to copy every articles URL to my Word Dokument, if I wanted to see again. 

So to end my blog post, I would use Mendeley again, because I think is a very helpful tool for the research. And I think it would come in handy for my study at Faculty of Social Science.

Talk to you soon!
