Library Visit Project
Use your time in the library to complete the following exercises. Follow through with the topic that you used for your commentary, though you may find that you have to narrow the topic some to make it more workable for doing research
.
Follow the directions provided by the reference librarian to use databases for locating and printing newspaper articles. Stick with reputable newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Hartford Courant. Locate 5-8 articles, and place them in the colored file folder provided.
Follow the directions provided by the reference librarian to use databases for locating magazine articles. Some of the articles will be available on online and others will be on microfilm or in paper format. Collect articles in at least two formats. Print microfilm articles, and copy paper articles. Locate 4-5 articles, and place them in your folder.

on your topic and sign out the book. Only a part of the book need be on your topic. Bring the book to class Nov. 7.

Please come to class on Nov. 7 with your collected articles and book. It is expected that you will need to spend time beyond the workshop to finish this assignment. I will be off campus on Nov. 1-3.. Please do not email or call with questions. Instead, work with the reference librarians who can help you use the library effectively.
