Love it: "The problem is that human beings are not full text searchable..." (yet)

Great tool for content curation.

Create and share media very easily with this great web publishing tool. Easy to share your passion, create topic pages or subject guides you have previously researched for your students. Even a way students can show their research.

Sorry Gina, should have read down the page to see what others had shared first, but like you I was excited to share this great tool!

Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".

Hi Lyn, Thanks for sharing. I've marked your Diigo assignment as Complete

Loved that showing this to my students meant I could show them that their small town of Kyabram is mentioned in National Library sources.

A website with a focus on innovation, expert analysis and advice. Also produces a comprehensive cross-curricular program designed to assist students in developing a critical understanding of the world through the news media.

This amazing site has a wealth of interesting material. "About Us: British Pathé is one of the oldest media companies in the world. Their roots lie in 1890s Paris where their founder, Charles Pathé, pioneered the development of the moving image. They were established in London in 1902, and by 1910 were producing their famous bi-weekly newsreel the Pathé Gazette. After the First World War they started producing various Cinemagazines as well. By 1930 they were producing the Gazette, the Pathetone Weekly, the Pathé Pictorial and Eve's Film Review, covering entertainment, culture and womens' issues. By the time Pathé finally stopped producing the cinema newsreel in 1970 they had accumulated 3500 hours of filmed history amounting to over 90,000 individual items. Over the last 30 years this material has been used extensively around the world in television programmes, home videos, advertisments, corporate productions and, most recently, in web publishing."

Fantastic site I'd forgotten about. Thanks for sharing with the group, I've marked Assignment 2 as complete on Lore for you.

This site provides the media and the general public with information about the Australia Telescope National Facility and educational resources on many aspects of astronomy. Link from Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) home page. http://outreach.atnf.csiro.au/ CensusAtSchool is a free Internet based data education research data, developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for Australian teachers and students.

Please note that search.creativecommons.org is not a search engine, but rather offers convenient access to search services provided by other independent organizations.

The Conversation is an independent source of information, analysis and commentary from the university and research sector. The articles are well balanced, edgy and very well written.

I love this publication too! It covers so many international stories and issues that don't make it into mainstream news. Thanks for sharing the link to this site Cheryl. I've marked your Diigo assignment as complete on Lore.
