Take a few minutes to reflect and answer the following questions about your projects. Please post the answers to your blog.
- What is your inquiry question?
- What do you want your users to learn?
- What is your methodological stance?
- How does your design work to support these goals?
- What new things do you need to learn?
- How will you go about learning these things?
- What is the rational for the decisions you’re making about source choices (by type, collection, time period, etc.)?
- What questions remain for you to provide a convincing grant application?
