How scholars use SouthComb is on the forefront of my mind. We are talking with faculty on our Advisory Board about how they would use SouthComb in the classroom. Hearing that its use is obvious, I seek a clearer definition. Faculty recommend SouthComb as a scholarly resource for research papers. Faculty also think that the news is the most striking feature and one people will notice. We have also heard good feedback that SouthComb is a good reference for Centers and Programs.
SouthComb is designed to be a transparent and scholarly search of materials related to the U.S. South. More specifically, SouthComb is scholarly in the sense that it uses what we call a "white list" of web sources, digital archive OAI providers, and newspapers to seed the searches. The website does not harvest or crawl information that we do not know of. All of these soures have been reviewed by a team of scholars and new sources suggested will also undergo the same rigourous process. The list of all of these sources is found on the website at the top of the naviagational links in the left, hence our process is transparent.
So how do you use SouthComb?
