Focus: Phone novels
Research plan:
I went to my local library by my house and found 0 books on phone novels. Granted, the library is not exactly a BIG or new library but I still disappointed. Actually, it was kind of funny because the libriarian didn't even know what I was talking about (and she was Chinese) !! In any event, I have devised a research plan with many options that I think will serve me well. First, I will reread the Wikipedia page on phone novels, maybe something will be useful. Next, I decided to gather information or all kinds to get a more in depth, detailed understanding of my topic. This will help me pinpoint what exactly I want to post on Wikipedia as well as my hypertext essay. To gather this information, I plan to go to Borders or somewhere that has books (like another library or bookstore) and get a few book on my topic. Then, of course, I will further explore the Internet; reading, bookmarking, chats even, and explore the phone novel site itself. I was even thinking about talking to someone who is involved with phone novels to see what he or she has to say. Along the way I will be writing everything down in my notebook for class, priting, and keep track of my sources exactly. It's important to do this because documentation of sources aka citing is vital to any type of research. Plus, you can go back and know where you got what from. These are my first steps to my hypertext essay as well as narrowing down my post(s) for the Wikipedia assignment. If I come up with any other ideas I will post further below and date the new information so no one has to reread this whole thing. Also, I will make a seperate post if I end up talking to a "phone noveler" incase anyone is interested. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions for me and I'll do the same for you!
