Comment on The Future of History?: Presenting Research Online by Jessica Kilday » Digital Media.

[...] I don’t have too much experience in looking for speeches or pictures pertaining to my research on the web. For this research paper, as well as most of them in the past, the majority of my sources have been from documents, both primary and secondary. I thought it was helpful to read the Information-Literate historian because it provided a lot of good suggestions on how and where to look for these types of sources. Since I don’t have much experience with this and don’t have anything of my own to suggest, I’ll post a couple of the websites that seem like they will be useful to me in the future that were suggested by the readings.

So I am not the most well versed in this department and I don’t really have any sites that I would like to contribute but I do want to comment on part of the reading. In the last section we had to read it gives a sort of “how to” on creating a site. This intimidates me a bit - I would LOVE to know how to do computer and internet-y things like creating a database etc. but I was never talented at technology for whatever reason. I like that this section points out some seemingly obvious ideas like the “bread crumb trail” on pg 229. This seems like something many people might overlook. It gives the user the option of going back a few pages and remembering how they got to the current page. I can’t say how many times I have clicked on some link and it has taken me far off course and I couldn’t get back to the page I actually wanted. Silly I know, but very important.

It’s not just you. That’s just the way that the article is (and the way the microfilm it came from is). Do the best you can.
