"Compiling Bibliography" explores strategies and resources for compiling a bibliography of an author's works, using as an example the author Douglas Sladen, whose works "Oriental Cairo" and "Queer Things about Egypt" are included in the online Travelers in the Middle East Archive (TIMEA). We discuss using WorldCat and the online database for the Times of London Archives, and provide some useful hints for managing your research. This is part three of a nine-part course that uses Sladen's work for a case study on performing historical research.
"How Does "Oriental Cairo" Compare With Similar Works?" examines how to view a work in relation to similar works from other regions or periods, using an example "Oriental Cairo," which is included in the online Travelers in the Middle East Archive (TIMEA). This module is designed to guide you through the process of collecting a list of works dealing with the city of Cairo. We arrange the works regionally and chronologically to demonstrate how they can be used comparatively in a research project. This is part four of a nine-part course that uses Sladen's work for a case study on performing historical research.
For this project, students will learn to develop the various processes used in researching and writing a biographical research paper, including brainstorming, notetaking, outlining, creating a bibliography, and writing the final draft. This project is designed to act as an independent study geared toward AG or Level 3 and Level 4 students, but each step in the research process can also be taught directly to students in the classroom.
We constantly need to find and use information, not only in the academic world but also in the course of our everyday lives and work. This unit will take you through the process of finding information from various sources, organising it effectively and citing it when necessary.
