Announcements & Search Tips

Homework:
Don't forget! Your 2-page TYPED rough drafts are due on Tuesday, 10/27.

Extra Credit e-mailed Drafts:
As I mentioned in class, I'll give 5 points extra credit to the FIRST THREE people who e-mail me their rough drafts. We'll be looking at excerpts from these in class on Tuesday. You do not have to e-mail me if you're aren't trying to get the extra credit.

Search Tips:
1) When you go to google.com, click on the little "Advanced Search" link to the right of the search bar. Towards the bottom of the page, there's an option to Search Within a Site or Domain. You can try typing in .edu to narrow your search to just school institution websites.
2) Try Google Scholar. It narrows your search down to scholarly articles, suggests relevant articles, and more! Try it out: http://scholar.google.com/
3) Here's the link to the article about how that student posted the fake quote about a composer on Wikipedia and then a bunch of journalists actually used that fake quote in their articles about the composer. Quick and fun read--and one more reminder of why we use Wikipedia to find general information but not as a reliable source in our papers. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30699302/wid/11915829?GT1=40006
4) Remember to try chatting with a librarian if you get stuck! Go to http://library.fullcoll.edu/ and start typing in the box if it says "fclibrarian is online."
5) If you find something online that's available through a database that FC doesn't have but that CSFU *does* have, you can follow these instructions when you go to the CSUF campus library:
The library is open to the public and anyone can come in and use Project Muse while in the library. You will want to get a guest log-on. Do this on the 1st floor of the the North Library Building at the Information Learning Commons support desk. This password will be good in the library until we close that night. Then you can use any computer in the library to access Project Muse.
