Prompts:

In a single essay of  1000-1200 words please post a thoughtful and substantive written response that addresses and engages the following:

What did you learn from the video you selected? Be specific, give examples. Frame your response with reference to relevant readings and resources (including lectures) we have covered in this course, to date.  (Be sure to indicate the title of the video.)
What did you learn from the two articles you selected that you can discuss in terms of the required readings and resources (including lectures) we have covered to date – this includes Buckland (2017) and our textbook by Rowley & Hartley ? (Be specific and give examples. Be sure to indicate the title of each article.)
What one question do you have based on one of the videos, Web 3.0 or Linked data for libraries, and discuss why you think it is important and how it relates to the work we have done up to this point in the course.
Reminder: These assignments are opportunities for students to grapple with the ideas and issues we are reading about in this course including our textbooks, Rowley & Hartley and Buckland (2017). Use these written assignments to work to see the connections across the specific readings of the assignment and the body of readings and resources offered in the class to date. Of particular importance to your discussions are the two textbooks. You will find that your effort will pay off as you tackle the other assignments in the course.
