Choosing Your Community Discussion 3 months agoHello. Would writing about manga translations and scanlations be all right?

Sorry. I wrote this before I asked the question in the chat. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Choosing Your Community Discussion 3 months agoI would like to research comic books for my information community. Would like to try to write about how comics and their place in popular culture have changed over the years.

@christinew12 If you are thinking about comic book fans, I have had successful papers on the community. You can pull from the literature related to the Serious Leisure Perspective (SLP) and Enthusiasts.

Hello. Would it be all right to switch to writing about manga fan translations and scanlations instead?

Choosing Your Community Discussion 3 months, 1 weeks agoI’m considering to choose elderly community for my research paper. I want to focus on elderly people in California who use library services. I’m struggling on gadering enough information for my research paper.

Hey Dao,
Maybe look at Senior Homes in your community and library services that cater to them. I know libraries offer tons of activities for older adults through other organizations. An example, art and crafts, art talks, special speakers, classes, outings (I think).
Something else to consider, senior homes in rural areas that don’t have access…[Read more]
