In Spring 2016, DCS alumna Gina Stalica (Bowdoin Class of 2016) completed an Independent Study<\/a> of databases that involved critical reading, tool evaluation, and tutorial development. Shortly after she submitted her work, a lively discussion about readings on databases circulated through the Association of Internet Researchers<\/a> (AIR) mailing list. AIR member Amanda Licastro compiled a public Zotero group on the topic after making the initial inquiry:<\/p>\n
