Webliography

Websites

Ahmad, Zach. “Historically Black Colleges Diversify.” U-WIRE. 03/29/2005. College Sports Online, Inc. February 1, 2007. http://www.uwire.com/content/topnews032905001.html

This site just talks about the first black colleges and enrollment then. It talked about education opportunities, diversity, degrees, campus environments and teachers. I rate this site a 7 because it’s not very important but, it gave me information that I didn’t know about.


“Clark Atlanta University.” Clark Atlanta University. 2007. Clark Atlanta University. February 1, 2007. http://www.cau.edu/

http://www.cau.edu/ gives me all kinds of information from Clark Atlanta. It had academics, majors, sports, admission, contact information, financial aid, and everything else. I rate this sit a 10 because it is the only site that could give me all I need to know about Clark Atlanta University.


“Counselor’s Connection, Organizing and Conducting a College Fair.” College Board. 2007. College Board. January 29, 2007. http://www.collegeboard.com/prof/counselors/csearch/1.html?print=true

This site gives what it says, tips on conducting a college fair. It tells who, when, how to budget, invitation coordinating, and what to do on the big day. It gives a well organized informative description that is a great benefit to me because I’m going to be the one conducting the fair and since I never did one this is really useful. I rate this site a 9 because it does give good information but I still need more.


“Historically Black Colleges.” Black College Search. 2007. Black College Search. January 25, 2007 http://www.blackcollegesearch.com/

Black college search is a search engine that has lists of all Black Colleges in every state.
You click on the state of your choice and a list of schools is displayed. When you click on a school it gives you a description of the school, financial information, phone numbers, tuitions and fees, the college site and so on.

I would rate this site a 9 because it has a lot of resourceful information and it give all that I said and more. Plus this is a website that could help easily find and pick the schools that I want for the fair without any hassle.


“Howard University.” Howard University. 2007. Howard University. February 3, 2007. http://www.howard.edu/

This website gave information about the school and its programs. It gave basic information like every other school website. This website is useful to me because it has good info and contact information I need for the fair. I rate this site a 10 because it gave me what I needed.


“Morehouse College.” Morehouse College. 2007. Morehouse College. February 7, 2007. http://www.morehouse.edu/

Morehouse was a sit that I need for contact information. It also had other information that whom ever would want to go to that school needs but I just basically went to the site to get numbers so it could be part of the fair. I would rate this sit a 10 because it had the contact information I needed and it had other important information as well.

Pugh, Michael. “Historically Black Colleges and Universities.” Fast Web. 2007. Fast Web, LLC. February 2, 2007. http://www.fastweb.com/printer/resources/articals/index/102462

This website talked about levels of achievement, the attention you get from professors, when black colleges came about, funding and challenges, and mission beliefs. I rate this site a 4 because it really isn’t important to me and it only gives a little piece of information.


“Spelman College.” Spelman College. 2007. Spelman College. February 7, 2007. http://www.spelman.edu/

This website tells me everything about Spelman. It gave information about academics, students, programs, majors with descriptions, administration numbers and addresses. This site helps me because I need contact information to set up the fair. I rate this sit a 10 because it is the only website besides College Board that has updated in formation about the school.

“Ten Best Historically Black Colleges.” Black Excel. Black Excel.org. January 25, 2007
http://www.blackexcel.org/10best.htm

This is just a website that lists the top ten Historically Black Colleges that were rated in Black Enterprise magazine. It gives you the college and a brief description on what and where the college is and why it was rated one of the best. It gives percentages on graduates and degrees given and average SAT scores. The website was based on a Black Excel newsletter in 1996.

I would rate this site a 7 because it gives me some good information but at the same time it only answers a few questions and gives me good but little information. And it tells me ten great schools that I could look in to.


Books

Williams, Juan “Historically Black Colleges and Universities” Carnegie Library March 8, 2007

This book was absolutely helpful for my project because, it had all kinds of information from, dates when founded, people who founded them, statistics on students, faculty, and degrees. This book was wonderful. It listed survey details, and interviews, and what students thought about them and is what people say, different rumors, true, it answered the majority of my questions, but I still need to do more research.

I rate this book a perfect 10 because it definitely had everything I needed.

Articles

Kronish, Elisa. “College Fairs.” Fast Web. 2007. Fast Web. February 3, 2007. http://www.fastweb.com/fastweb/resources/articles/index/100381

This article gave me, tips on what to do when you attend a college fair. What you would expect to learn, how you should prepare, what you should bring, and what basic questions you should ask. This is good for people who’ve never attended one. I give this site a 9 because it has all the basic information for a person who’s never been to a college tour needs.
