part of the lives of teenagers nowadays. Almost 96% of students with online access
have used social networking. Because of the astonishing statistics, this article
provides for the use of social networking for educational purposes. It cannot be

Hearn, Maxwell K., and madeleine Zelin. The Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors.
Asian Topics in World History. Columbia University, 2005.
The article talks about the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors of ancient China. These
two emperors are important figures to be able to understand the political, economic,
and cultural heritage China holds until now. The developments in China brought
about by these two were based on their philosophies such as love for the arts and
incorporating the populace in government. This source is a great read for Asian
researchers especially when looking for background as to the current status of
modern China.
Calkins, S., & Kelley, M. (2007). Evaluating Internet and scholarly sources across the
disciplines: Two case studies. College Teaching, 55(4), 151-156. Retrieved from
http://www.heldref.org/pubs/ct/about.html
This article, written by two highly respected college professors and authors,
effectively discusses the problem of unintentional online plagiarism and many
students in ability to evaluate, critique, synthesis, and credit online sources
properly. Two case studies from different disciplines, which were designed to foster
critical evaluation of the internet and scholarly sources, are discussed in detail. This
article is useful because much of the content of these case studies can be easily
adapted to fit assignments in different academic disciplines. One information
literacy assignment in one quarter at college is not enough. If students are expected

to use the internet in responsible way, educators must provide guidelines and
relevant experience that allows students to apply those guidelines in practical ways.

one good example for the advantages, disadvantages, and implications. The article

Berlin Wall, it is an important source because as early as 1970s, political scientists
already predicted several outcomes that would sense.
