Wondering
I am moving onto the Wondering phase of the research project...quoting Annette, "What is the problem I need to solve?" The problem is how to discover new music in a timely manner. I've been thinking about why it used to be so much easier for me to do this and decided TIME is a major factor. As an undergraduate student and even a recently graduated student, I had a lot more time on my hands...time to go see local bands, time to talk with friends about new music, time to browse Napster (the shame!), just more...time! Now my time is filled with finding time to spend with my husband, working on classes, working at my job, taking care of my daughter, petting my cats, calling my mom, mailing birthday cards...you get the point. So, with this project, not only do I want to discover new music, I must be able to do it in a fairly easy and timely fashion.

I went to the Inspire website and downloaded their trial version. Here is the product of my brainstorming...
I am wondering which of these resources will turn out to be the most beneficial. Which ones I will gain the most information from or if they will lead me to other sources. Wish me luck as I walk on in the information inquiry process.

This sounds like an interesting blog. There are so many websites out there that have music. It's amazing what they can do. I listened to a radio station when I was working in Florida over the summer. I did a search for that station the other day and I found their website. It turns out that they do webcasts of their programs so I can still listen to it now that I am back in Indiana!
