All four of these articles were selected from peer-reviewed journals. Journals were selected instead of a book because it seemed like the best way to get a general idea about some very diverse topics regarding the Aztecs. Topics for three ...

Information Management for Library Study

Information Management for Library Study

Before the start of semester what did you think IM was about?

Information Management or IM sounds overwhelming. It seems very technical. It is commonly attributed to the Internet these days. Before the semester, the closest idea I had about IM involved news articles, signing up for social media membership, social media sharing, and uploading and downloading files, turning them into archives. All of these are pieces of information. Certainly, each of this piece of information is, as mentioned, archived or organized. The process of organizing these bits of information is what Information Management, I thought, was all about.

What do you think IM is about now that you have completed the semester?

Now that I have completed the semester, ...

An annotated bibliography is just like a regular bibliography, i.e. students assemble a list of sources in a particular citation style, but each entry comprises of two parts: (a). The citation, in which the exact information is provided in the APA, MLA or any other format determined by the instruction, and (b). An annotation, which is a brief paragraph about each ...

Annotated bibliography refers to a list of books, articles, and other documents. It consists of a correct citation of the material for which the annotation is to be written.

The annotation usually informs the reader about the significance, accuracy, as well as the quality of the cited material in relation to a chosen subject.

Personal reflection

It is a process of gathering information and ensuring that it is distributed to the audience in appropriate format and at the right time.
