PPT for today's class (Session 6) and readings

I've uploaded that to the syllabus, so please review it, sorry for going through it in a rush today.

For slide 21, the link is for Academic Search Premier's help screen.  Please read through that to get a better idea of search techniques in a real database (that's not just for ASP, that's for all EBSCOhost databases).  Here's how to get to that:
1. on the library website, click on Article Databases, then click on A (http://www.cofc.edu/library/find/databases/index.php#a),
2. click on the database Academic Search Premier,
3. click on the help (top right corner) screen,
4. peruse these linked pages for search techniques
under Searching:
Booleans,
Including Phrases in a Search,
Proximity Searches,
Wildcard and Truncation Symbols,
under Browsing:
Thesaurus 

Besides that, if there are further readings links on the syllabus, please read those too.
