This looks good in terms of the categories. I might re-order the items
General
Perspectives -- Theoretical
Methodology
Social Structure & Groups
Self & Society
Institutions
Inequalities
Deviance/Social Control
Social Problems
Population and Urbanization
Social Change
Global

Actually when the categories are added to MERLOT, they are normally alphabetized, so that people can find them more easily.

I would like to add science and technology, war, terrorism, and mass media.

Because we were trying to limit the number of categories and I was looking for info on
Science and Technology I would look under Social Change, Social Problems and/or Institutions; for War and Terrorism, I would look under Social Problems, Deviance/Social Control, Institutions/Political and/or Global. For Mass Media, I would look for it under Institutions.

Lynn,
I missed the meeting last week and was not aware the topics I suggested were brought up. Thank you for letting me know where the suggested topics can be found.
Margaret

It also might be useful to have a "teaching" category. For example, those interested in using multimedia in their classes could plug into my JOLT piece from there (please excuse the shameless plug): http://jolt.merlot.org/vol5no2/miller_0609.pdf
