Final Project - Description of a Webliography

Each student will create a webliography.  A webliography is a webpage that brings together as many on-line resources pertaining to a particular topic as possible. On-line resources such as listservs, www sites, newspapers, magazines, newsgroups or bulletin boards, online encyclopedias, FAQs, digital archives or graphics, multimedia (animation,  sound, video), catalogs and databases, and expert help.

These resources are organized, described and evaluated based on criteria set forth in the webliography.

Topics

We would like you to create a webliography on a topic that relates to the internet or technology.  I have listed some of the possible topics below. There are many others and you are welcome to choose a different one as long as it is related to the internet or technology. The topics in bold are some general categories.  The words next to them are sub categories.  You may use either as your topic.

Assignment Description

In order to receive full credit, your webliography should consist of the following:
  1. Create a webpage that is uploaded to the computers.pcc.edu server.  If you have questions about how to upload a webpage, please refer to lesson 5.  Please do not email your page to your instructor as an attachment.  It is only necessary to upload your page to the computers.pcc.edu server.
  2. A short description and purpose of the webliography
  3. On the webpage, please include links or the resource itself as appropriate to the following related to your topic.
  4. You should have 10 resources in total.
  5. A  short description of each of these resources.  This description will be at least 5 sentences in length.  It will include:
  6. No plagiarism, copyright violations or links to illegal material
  7. Standard citing guidelines are followed
  8. A "mailto:" reference with your email address
  9. Follow the structure in the webliography example

Webliography Examples

Please use the following example when as you create your webliography.
Classroom Design
 

Creating a Webpage

You may use any HTML editor you wish.  You are not limited to Notepad. Frontpage, Dreamweaver, or Netscape Composer are just a few possibilities.   You might try using Netscape Composer since it is free with Netscape and can be found under the Communicator  menu choice.  If you are having problems creating your webpage, please refer to lesson 5.

FrontPage Users

If you use FrontPage to do the assignment you MUST upload your web page and picture files using WS_FTP or other FTP software but not the publish feature in FrontPage.  DO NOT use Frontpage's "publish feature".  FrontPage creates a number of directories and can overwrite existing files. Please remember, if you use FrontPage do not use the "publish" feature.  You should use a separate FTP program such as WS_FTP or Cute FTP.

Copyright

Please see the following site if you have questions about copyright.
Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia Sponsored by the American Distance Education Consortium
http://www.adec.edu/admin/papers/fair10-17.html
I have copied some of the major sections but if you have any doubts, please review the section pertaining to your question.

2. PREPARATION OF EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA PROJECTS USING PORTIONS OF COPYRIGHTED WORKS

These uses are subject to the Portion Limitations listed in Section 4. They should include proper attribution and citation as defined in Sections 6.2.

2.1 By Students: Students may incorporate portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works when producing their own educational multimedia projects for a specific course.

4.2.1 Motion Media
Up to 10% or 3 minutes, whichever is less, in the aggregate of a copyrighted motion media work may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created under Section 2 of these guidelines.

4.2.2 Text Material
Up to 10% or 1000 words, whichever is less, in the aggregate of a copyrighted work consisting of text material may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created under Section 2 of these guidelines. An entire poem of less than 250 words may be used, but no more than three poems by one poet, or five poems by different poets from any anthology may be used. For poems of greater length, 250 words may be used but no more than three excerpts by a poet, or five excerpts by different poets from a single anthology may be used.

4.2.3 Music, Lyrics, and Music Video
Up to 10%, but in no event more than 30 seconds, of the music and lyrics from an individual musical work (or in the aggregate of extracts from an individual work), whether the musical work is embodied in copies or audio or audiovisual works, may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as a part of a multimedia project created under Section 2. Any alterations to a musical work shall not change the basic melody or the fundamental character of the work.

4.2.4 Illustrations and Photographs
The reproduction or incorporation of photographs and illustrations is more difficult to define with regard to fair use because fair use usually precludes the use of an entire work. Under these guidelines a photograph or illustration may be used in its entirety but no more than 5 images by an artist or photographer may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created under Section 2. When using photographs and illustrations from a published collective work, not more than 10% or 15 images, whichever is less, may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created under Section 2.  4

6.2 Attribution and Acknowledgment
Educators and students are reminded to credit the sources and display the copyright notice and copyright ownership information if this is shown in the original source, for all works incorporated as part of educational multimedia projects prepared by educators and students, including those prepared under fair use. Crediting the source must adequately identify the source of the work, giving a full bibliographic description where available (including author, title, publisher, and place and date of publication). The copyright ownership information includes the copyright notice (C, year of first publication and name of the copyright holder).
 

Proper Citing

The Modern Language Association Style - Citations of Electronic Sources.

The basic component of the reference citation:
