    Notes on slide 1

    16 students 20093ENGL1201X008

    I’m going to teach from both the Barnard and Columbia pages because in writing your final paper, you will need to use other CU libraries in addition to Barnard's. Print exemption ILL/BD

    You are not bothering us. This is what we are here for. We know that you’re smart and self-sufficient, but some of these resources may be new to you. We will not think any less of you if you ask for help! (IF we were judgmental people, the students we would think were dumb would be the ones who wander around and don’t get what they need because they didn’t ask for help!)

    USE CLIO BETA "Never pay for information [e.g. articles] without calling me first. Chances are you're ALREADY PAYING FOR IT." Use Project Muse Html vs. pdf Diff between scholarly and magazine: peer review, notes & bib, length, currency, audience

    Marriage and the canterbury tales = 19 Marriage and the "canterbury tales" = 20 proximity CHANGE TO BOOLEAN (marriage or wedding or wife) and "canterbury tales" = 55 boolean (marri? or wedding? or wi?e?) and "canterbury tales" ) = 116 truncation Electronic = 28 Limits Search history—go to boolean 55 search #6 Chaucer, ethics, and gender Chaucer, Geoffrey, d. 1400. Canterbury tales. Subject search Chaucer, Geoffrey, d. 1400 Downloading options

    Always use proxy link. Explain the rest as we go

    Subscription databases are NOT the same as websites. Some non-sub databases, too, as those provided by libraries and other academic institutions. They know what's in each item (that CLIO only knows we have). Connected with e-link. Listings by genre/format A to Z, vs. subject lists Assign four groups/individuals to look at: Find Articles LION ProQuest Google Ten minutes for breakouts/twenty for show and tell

    68 281 in criticism Perhaps smaller set is better. Get more satisfying results by specifying the name of the tale. "canterbury tales" and "marriage"

    52 9 144 Chaucer, Geoffrey (1340?-1400) (person) AND Literary criticism Not as good because nothing for marriage. More search options, AND NOT
