Assigned Text:
Ex 5: Of Emergence and Knowledge in the [??] Era
You name the era we are heading into.
Write a three-page paper that demonstrates your ability to apply assigned readings to your own experience reading (and studying, and analyzing, and annotating) an academic etext.
As with the other exercises, I am expecting you to engage meaningfully with direct quotes taken from our assigned readings.
This assignment also asks you to report your first-hand experience with ebook tools and resources that are currently available.

- A Kindle is available for you to check out at the library; I have pre-loaded it with some media-related books.
- I will also loan my own Kindle overnight if you schedule with me in advance.
- If you have an iPhone, you can use the Kindle app.
- You can also download a free Kindle reader for a PC or Mac. (There are plenty of free Kindle books.)
- As of April 14, there are about 10 iPads at SHU. I don't know who will get them, or whether they will be available for students to try out. If you can get ahold of an iPad, wonderful!
- I have not tried it out, but here is a link to a free trial of a "PDF Annotator" tool. Is it useful for scholars? Can you find a different tool that might be better?
- books.google.com (see for yourself whether Darnton's hopes/fears for Google are accurate)
