Hello, and welcome!  This website, http://jerz.setonhill.edu/EL336, is your main resource for the course.

If you look at the top of this page and click the "Outline" tab, you'll see the list of all the readings and due dates. 

If you're ever feel unsure of what to do on a particular assignment, or you're working ahead and you would like for me to flesh out a particular page, just send me an e-mail or post a comment on the blog, and I'll tend to it as soon as I can.

For every assigned text in the course that gets its own item on the Outline page, including an article, a section from a book, or some other document, I am asking every student to use the RRRR sequence contribute to an online discussion.

First we will start out simply posting a comment to the appropriate page on the course website.

But once everyone has had some time to experiment with the SHU weblog system, I'm asking for everyone to employ the following four-step process, designed to prepare for a productive online discussion.

A course that Alison Muri teaches at the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) coincidentally has the same name -- The History and Future of the Book.

That's fortunate for us, because while idly Googling the course name, I came across her amazing bibliography, which includes both print and online sources.
