Thing 9 - Streaming Video

I did an exploration of United Streaming as it relates to research, and found some interesting video clips. I looked at "Netfiles #301: Research Applications," and within that, the clip called "Learning to Recognize Valid Research Sources on the Internet." It was informative for me but not the sort of video that I would show to a group of students. The most interesting thing I learned was a site I hadn't heard of, called refdesk. The url is, of course, www.refdesk.com. It really does contain a wealth of information and links that I would encourage students to use.
I'm intrigued by United Streaming and plan to continue to explore what it has. We're also going to have a training session for the staff here at Highland to introduce them to this resource.
