Purdue OWL: "MLA Formatting Quotations" - 1 views

  •  
    A guide for incorporating quotes into sentences, in-text and parenthetical citations included. When considering incorporating quotes, consider if paraphrasing or quoting adds most to your sentence, paragraph, etc. When selecting a quote, consider the "10-word rule," to get to the most valuable information from the quote (anyone can cut-and-past paragraphs), decrease in conventions errors (less unnecessary words = less opportunity for errors), and fluency. Once you've incorporated a quote into your sentence, try reading the sentence out loud, same sentence, without the quotation marks. If it's unreadable, revise how you've placed the quote in your sentence.

Social Privacy in Networked Publics: Teens' Attitudes, Practices, and Strategies by Dan... - 0 views

  •  
    Abstract: This paper examines how teens understand privacy in highly public networked environments like Facebook and Twitter. We describe both teens' practices, their privacy strategies, and the structural conditions in which they are embedded, highlighting the ways in which privacy, as it plays out in everyday life, is related more to agency and the ability to control a social situation than particular properties of information. Finally, we discuss the implications of teens' practices and strategies, revealing the importance of social norms as a regulatory force. (This paper was presented at Oxford Internet Institute's "A Decade in Internet Time: Symposium on the Dynamics of the Internet and Society" on September 22, 2011.) Number of Pages in PDF File: 29 Keywords: Facebook, privacy, youth, teens, social media, ethnography, cultural studies Accepted Paper Series
