Today we discussed finding information (books and other media) in library catalogs, including the CUNY catalog and WorldCat As you search for information on your topic, don’t forget about other resources available to you, including those of the New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library and Queens Library systems.Remember that resources in other academic libraries in Brooklyn are available to you via the ALB consortium.
On Monday, November 12 we will discuss finding information in library databases. Please read Badke pp. 94-120, and pay special attention to section 5.9, for further study. Your blogging assignment is to comment on a classmate’s blog post — either one 100 word comment or 2 comments totaling 100 words.
The college has made a plan to make up for the instructional time missed during Hurricane Sandy. Friday, December 21 will be the last day of classes, on which we will finish up the group presentations.
Slides for today are available here.
Please get in touch with any questions you have about the annotated bibliography, which is due on Wednesday, November 14. I will be out of town from tonight through Sunday evening but will make an effort to check email regularly.
