I hope you found yesterday's library session useful. I wanted to recap the important points/places from that meeting.
Here is the library homepage. If/when you're logging on off-campus, make sure you click the "Login" tab in the upper-right hand corner and enter your UCSB ID/password.
Here is the individualized course site that Gary oh-so-kindly made for us. I recommend using this while you're searching or articles you'd like to analyze for WP2.
Keep that one tip that Gary gave us in mind: put an * at the end of a word/phrase to make it a "wildcard." For instance, if you put in a search for COMMUNICAT*, it would turn up results for "communication," "communicated," and "communicating." Does that matter? Big-time! Remember: computer search engines only search for the specific text that you search for. In other words, most (all?) search engines don't know that "communication," "communicated," and "communicating" are all related forms of the same word.
