To Clip

From AcademicCommons

Clipping Service

What if we could convince a small army of people each to read through one or two journals, magazine, blogs, mailing lists, etc., and to clip items relevant to our shared interests in technology, networked information, and liberal education (broadly defined) in their assigned publication via Academic Commons? The first step is to make a list of such publications.

Lots and lots of possible journals to track http://www.mlb.ilstu.edu/ressubj/subject/educat/sotl.htm and http://www.buffalostate.edu/orgs/castl/publish.html and http://www.indiana.edu/~libsalc/SOTL/ and http://pod.nku.edu/sotljournals.asp

The next step is to recruit volunteers to do two things:

1. Read their assigned publication on a regular basis

2. Write pithy summaries of relevant materials and post those summaries to Academic Commons.

3. Do this for a year, and then recruit a replacement to do this the following year.
