Case study analysis is a serious work that often demands a lot of time and effort. Students need to go through a lot of information, to analyze it, to choose the suitable pieces, to make their own conclusions and to organize a neat paper.

Connecting Researchers to New Digital Tools | Not Dead Yet

Connecting Researchers to New Digital Tools | Not Dead Yet | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
A couple of months ago I got an email from my colleague Chris Erdmann (Data Scientist Training for Librarians) at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He wanted to talk about ways librarians could help keep the scholarly community informed about new and developing technologies that could affect its work. He’s been following Thomas Crouzier’s blog, Connected Researchers, and talking with other interested, interesting folks such as Amy Brand at Digital Science. Chris and Amy thought that a discussion among a group of librarians and other stakeholders in the scholarly process could be a promising beginning for brainstorming ideas and strategies.
