Share your knowledge on this topic.
• What are your ‘pet hates’ in regards to email etiquette?
My process
1. I accessed the activity resources and links. Followed the links, bookmarked for future reference. Followed activities as suggested.
2. Add to the list of search engines:
3. Add to the Google search terms and resources:
Always remember to to search in just images, video or news. Also, to narrow searches use the search tools to filter region of publish, date and search term. Google Scholar is a data base of research documents and Google Books is a data base of public domain books all available for viewing or downloading and there are many other categories of these databases.
4. By participating in the is activity I have added to my GD resource page;
Recommended search engines Both have been linked under the newly created Technology subheading; as well I have added a public file; Graphic Design online tools/websites document which I will add to throughout the course.
5. Researched email etiquette.

The links, especially the first one are very comprehensive and I have nothing of value to add. My pet hates with emails and etiquette? Co-workers who do not put an Out-of-office message/notification when they are not in the office for an extended period.
