Listed
below are some useful resources to help you with finding stimuli.
Please follow the links below and also refer to the coursebook.
News
- Newspapers
do not have to be current. Search them online and remember that you
have access to a wide range of countries.
- Finding articles
that spark off ideas can often be more accidental than planned. This
is fine, but if there is a specific subject that you want to find an
article about, it is better to go to online newspaper sites. The
Guardian has a particularly good group of sites that are easy to
search.
Fiction
- Project
Gutenberg began in 1971. This was when Michael Hart was given an
operator's account with $100,000,000 of computer time in it by the operators
of the Xerox Sigma V mainframe at the Materials Research Lab, University
of Illinois. The Project Gutenberg philosophy is to make information,
books and other materials available to the general public in a form
that the vast majority of computers, programs and people can easily
read, use, quote and search.

collected from their members, contributing authors worldwide, and texts
