Dillard" <jwne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RESOURCE: Take a Peep at Libraries To: K12ADMIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This website may seem at first glance to be a fluffy amusement, but look at the web page harder. This page may be just what the doctor (PhD) ordered to get the high school or middle school student who views going to the library to do research as a subversive unAmerican activity to change or at least slightly modify their views. You folks may also enjoy this page a great deal yourselves, it certainly has been roaring through the library discussion list circuit. Peep Research: A Study of Small Fluffy Creatures and Library Research <http://www.millikin.edu/staley/fluff/peep_research.html> Peeps arrival at the library Beginning research Advanced research skills Peeps and library behavior Feasibility of peeps and library usage Completing the research activity Addendum About this project One list on which this page was gleefully announced, the LawLib list got this rejoinder from a member of the list highlighting the serious pedagogical side of this web production: "Note that legal literature plays an important role in this research study. The book that caused the tragic accident shown in the section "The Feasibility of Peeps and Library Usage" is Percival E. Jackson's The Law of Cadavers and of Burial and Burial Places (2d ed 1950)." Another LawLib member chimed in that she lived at the birthplace of these fluffy creatures and contributed this related web URL <http://www.justborn.com/index.html> For any who want to turn these creatures from the researcher to the research subject, here is the website for you: Those resilient little birds... <http://www.peepresearch.org/> Sincerely, David Dillard Research Librarian david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ECP RingLeader http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/ringleaders/davidd.html Temple University (215) 204 - 4584 jwne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ********************************************************************* CATCHING DIGITAL CHEATERS Learn how to write proper quotations, citations, and bibliographies.
