Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2010-11-13

  • At #MIXNYC waiting for another chunk of films. #
  • The New York University #NYU adjunct union members voted to authorize a strike. How unpleasant. #
  • Still debriefing the film I saw last night, 50 Faggots, at #MIXNYC Had engaging conversations with colleagues about it @50Faggots #
  • Tried to beat the after work crowd to Trader Joe's, but no such luck. #
  • Looking forward to more of the #MIXNYC films tonight. Did not think I could make more, but moved some things for the time. #
  • Perhaps people are discussing #mixnyc and not using the tag? That may be it, as the tag was not mentioned on the site. Alas. #
  • Surprised by how little discussion there is of #mixnyc film festival. With much film and performance, can there be that wide of a tech gap? #
  • A lot to say and debrief about the interesting film and discussion at #mixnyc this evening: 50 Faggots. @50faggots #
  • I still have a lot of Tweets to discuss the films I saw last night at #mixnyc #
  • I found out that the tag for @mixnyc is indeed #mixnyc #

How to Access Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) & Journal Citation Reports (JCR)

I have been working in the areas of educational research, sociology / communications / cultural studies, and the social sciences for some time now, and while I prefer to use databases such as ProQuest, EBSCO, Sage, and Informaworld for my research, I recently learned how to access and use the rather important Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and look up Journal Citation Reports (JCR) for the Social Sciences (by subject, such as Education & Educational Research or Communication).

Yes, this does require access to the ISI Web of Knowledge database via Thomson Reuters, and while I have access to this through my university teaching work, I was never able to locate SSCI and JCR buried within it before. Interesting how just knowing a bit more about how to access information can change our entire approach to it.

  • Wonder if I am the only one Tweeting about this event at #MIXNYC Seems the experimental media are primarily film. #
  • Saw a disturbing work at @mixnyc, No Safe Words by Noam Gonick. #
  • Certainly good for boundary-pushing issues. Perhaps I should not have worn a Brooks Brothers sweater to @mixnyc. Hey, challenge all norms? #

  • Just ate 2 Hershey Kisses that had no taste. #
