Process

=Process=

====Conferences, journals, and books are the key sources of professional knowledge you want to be aware of, listed in the order of "freshness". Ie, you may well first encounter a new idea at a conference. It will take some time for a good idea to arrive in a refereed journal (i.e., evaluated and accepted by specialists). Publication in a book may take a similar amount of time, or longer, if it is a compilation of journal articles, for example.====

2. Look through the most recent issues of several journals. What are the recurrent, key issues being discussed over the past year and a half? List these **On Google Docs**
====3. Find several articles relevant to your current interests, e.g. technologies relevant to project understanding. (How do you decide what's relevant? & How can an article that is not about your technology exactly, be relevant?)====

4. Create a short bibliography. **On Blog**
Make sure to use the Chicago style author-date system (not the humanities system). Fuller documentation available at http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/ tools_citationguide.html ).
