This spreadsheet lists all of Los Angeles' public libraries, their addresses and hours. 

Please choose one here for your final project.  Write your name next to the library you choose. Be sure and save your choice by clicking the Save button in the upper right hand corner of the Google Docs page. Up to 4 people can choose the Central Library (downtown). 

Our collective photo montage of J310ers' weekend has appeared on just about every class blog.  Now the fun begins . . .

From the computers in the lab, you can view the assignment or you can print it out and bring with you.

Checking the class survey, it looks like 44 percent of the class doesn't have experience editing video. 

By the end of class Monday, that number will be history.

Common comments across many of the class essays:

• Wordiness (not to be confused with truthiness) abounded.
• Catchy titles can catch readers but only if they are catchy.
• The more details, the better the essay.
• Did your strength match your story?
• Don't forget grammar still matters. Online, in a blog, up a tree, etc.

Solutions?

Interesting project that asks readers to map their foreclosures, unemployment, bankruptcies, etc.
