3|Evaluating your sources 

4|Storing and using sources > we are using Zotero in this course 

To do

Read ‘1. Explore your topic’ to find out how you can use the Utrecht University entrance to WorldCat to explore what has been published about a certain topic.

• Go to the Utrecht University entrance to WorldCat.
• Come up with a search term or combination of search terms that allow you to look for publications relevant to weekly assignment 2. 
• Search via ‘titles’ only and use the filter 'year' in the left side menu of WorldCat to select only publications from 2010 and up. From this list you select those publications that you think are directly relevant for your weekly assignment. Import the selection in Zotero. 

Questions

• How many hits did your search get? 
• Do the search term(s) you used feature in all hits? If not, how do you think it is possible these hits appear in the results? 
• What is the oldest publication? What is the most recent? Is there a specific time period that shows an increase in publications about the topic? 
• In what fields/disciplines can the publications be located? 

To do 

• Look for information about the following examples of cinema and moving images: 

  • The movie Narcosis directed by Martijn de Jong 

  • The Netflix documentary series Surviving Death 

  • Part 2 of the YouTube documentary series NikkieTutorials: Layers Of Me 

  • The first episode of the TV program The Voice in America 

  • The trailer of the stopmotion feature film Knor (2022) on imdb  

  • The video artwork Nantes Triptych by Bill Viola 

  • The 360⁰ VR video Lovers by Teiji Furuhashi 

• Now check how to reference each of these objects according to the Chicago Manual of Style by using Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations or the online Chicago Manual of Style (log in with your Solis ID). 

• Pick at least 2 of these objects and create an for them in your Zotero library item (NB: click on ‘item type’ in Zotero to select the right type of item), by manually adding all the required bibliographic information.  

• If time: brainstorm on the example you would like to discuss in weekly assignment 2 and repeat the process of collecting and storing the bibliographic information needed to accurately reference this item in your portfolio.
