With my dissertation topic given the initial go ahead, I have begun the compiling process. Bibliographies grouped by subject. Digital primary sources by category. And now images on their own website. A link has been placed to to the right of this post, but I wanted to draw attention to the promise of this new platform.
Pinterest, the obsession of ever sorority girl (for their dream weddings) and crafty mothers (for home improvement and children's birthday parties), can be used for good. Professors have begun using them to collect links of images and videos. I'm not there yet, and sure, I've been using it for recipes and plotting a dream home at my family's farm. But I've set up a board entitled "dissertation" that will include the images I've found that directly relate to my dissertation. It is a start and a good visual overview of the subjects and themes of the document. The website in general has great promise and maybe this will inspire others to consider it when beginning their research. So check it out! http://www.pinterest.com/elissadear/dissertation/
