You must use at least four secondary (research) sources in your business report:

• One full-text academic periodical article that you have obtained through an online college library database.

• Another full-text article that you found online through the library's search or Google Scholar.

• One website that you believe you can trust for information on your topic.

Please do not choose a Wikipedia article.

• At least one other source of your choice. Find four (or more) sources of information related to your research topic. You must use two articles found through the Lethbridge College databases. If you have never accessed the Buchanan Library databases to locate a peer-reviewed academic article, please see the information in the last Module of this course entitled "Welcome to the Buchanan Library." Most helpful will be  the pages "Accessing and Using Library Resources," "How to Read an Academic Article," and "Understanding Plagiarism and Referencing." Your other two sources can be any of the following:

• from a periodical (a newspaper, magazine, or journal)
• books
• from websites, social media platforms, YouTube, etc.

Following your APA citation, write a descriptive summary; a descriptive summary simply describes the content of the article or site. These summaries are usually short -- approximately three or four sentences.

Comment on how relevant and useful this source will be for your research.

Brubaker, J. R., Hayes, G. R., & Dourish, R (2013). Beyond the grave: Facebook as a site for the expansion of death and mourning. The Information Society: An International Journal 29(3), 152-163.

Although social networking sites allow individuals to connect with many people and groups, they still emphasize the individual (153). Brubaker, Hayes, and Dourish ask what happens to a Facebook profile when the individual who maintains it passes away. They argue that "Establishing a narrative and identity for the deceased can be an important part of the grieving process" (153) and that it is these strategies of identity preservation that lead to Facebook profiles becoming places of memorialization. Friends of the deceased person are able to define that person's identity through communication with one another on the person's Facebook wall. In this way, "these digital identities continue to persist after death" (158). This paper will be helpful to provide context for my business report focus on social media.
