The World of Social Media 2013 - 2 views

  •  
    It can be a little bit of off-topic but this is a very interesting video that my communication professor showed class before.

Even though we have already known that the internet is hugely influential, you'll probably be surprised while you watch this video.

Can't find a book by it's title or author? - 0 views

  •  
    This is a free website that allows users to search for books not only by the title or author, but by ISBN numbers. I found this helpful for when textbooks are hard to find. Instructors usually provide the ISBN numbers in their syllabi and this is one resource a student could use to locate out-of-stock books.

    This is just a Wikipedia article about the history of music publishing but I shared it because I remember my music prof. at Mason talking about Stephan Foster being the first songwriter who got copyright over his material and he is mentioned in this post.
