Hopefully by now you’ve seen the booklist on my faculty webpage [see the list of links on the right]. We’re reading 8 books and using a handful of free software that I think will help you learn about Atlantic history — and historiography! you might want to get started with the downloading process. Here’s that part of the syllabus.

1. I require you to subscribe to our class blog and the blogs of the rest of the class members using Google Reader, which is free once you establish a Google account.

2. I require you to maintain a blog for the class. This is where you’ll post your papers and links to other electronic assignments in the class. You can get a free blogs from several services, including Google, but I recommend http://edublogs.org or http://wordpress.com.

4. I require that you use Google Earth, a free software program available from that company once you have an account. http://earth.google.com

5. I require that you use the bibliography manager Zotero [free from http://www.zotero.org]. Zotero, in turn, requires that you use the Firefox web browser. [free from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/]
