ULM Library

I hope you all got something out of our trip to ULM's library. I encourage all of you to utilize the resources they have available to us. Especially useful is JSTOR -- a collection of full-text periodical articles. Although we do not have access from off-campus without an ID, you can access the database from the terminals in the library, view records and take notes. You can also access the library's catalog from off-campus, so if you plan to visit the library you can save time by writing down call numbers before you go.

I would like to schedule a time to meet those of you who are interested at ULM. Let's set up a time.

As noted, not all of the services ULM offers are open to the public. For that reason, I encourage all of you to get a library card from the Ouachita Parish Public Library. With your card, you will have remote access to Galenet and other resources.

As promised, I've linked the Duke site mentioned in the clinic. Remember that the sites linked in the post below also contain useful information regarding the documentation of sources.

Until you fully understand the problem (whatever it is), you cannot hope to solve it.

Senior End-of-Year Schedule!

Seniors, the end is near, and there are a few assignments left to schedule. Here is a list of everything due in the next two weeks: Career Update - a one-page addendum to your research paper, updating your plans for college and beyond. Be sure to include what you originally planned and if that's changed. Whether plans have changed or not, please explain why and what steps you've taken towards reaching your goal -- i.e. where you've decided to attend and what major you've declared. This is due WEDNESDAY 4/24. Letter to Future Self - this is an OPTIONAL assignment, but I encourage you to take it seriously. As discussed in class, this letter will be sent to you in about five years. Think about what you'd like to tell yourself five years from now. For example, maybe it would be interesting to reflect on your plans at the time, what values you held dear, what you wanted to remember. In addition, you might think about your current likes/dislikes related to pop cultur...
