Talk out loud

Problem Last month, I got the following research question from Prof. Ummni Khan (Law and Legal Studies):      I'm trying to f ind early  feminist writing that is not academic (so magazines mostly) from      the 1980s or  early 1990s that  addresses the topic of rap music & lyrics, specifically the       argument that  rap music is degrading to  women / demeaning or encourages violence.      I know there was quite a bit of this from my memory, but I can’t figure out how to search      for m agazines. I was thinking that Ms. Magazine must have articles about this topic, but        I don't know  if there's a way to search their archive?      Do you have any suggestions on how I might do this?      Thanks so much for your help!  Solution The short answer to Ummni’s question is, “Use Academic Onefile to ...

They ask the historian to reflect on the consequences of producing their own work, and the distortions within those histories. Themes and topics relating to Ripples could include (but are not limited to) the following:  - Memory Studies  - Activist hi...

Teaching a research methods course? Taking a class? Looking for new or alternatives methodologies? Sage Research Methods might be worth investigating.  As per the official description on the library website , Sage Research Methods "  supports beginning and advanced researchers throughout a research project, from writing a research question, choosing a method, gathering and analyzing data, to writing up and publishing the fin dings." What I like (especially for teaching and learning) is the instructional video collection, which introduces users to "research methods in action" across a wide range of topics such as key concepts, brainstorming and empiricism. Plus there are videos that promote experiential learning (i.e., practice) ...   Videos can be embedded in an online course or content management system (i.e., cuLearn) and you can create clips that fit with your syllabus.
