make sure you're looking at the right stuff (databases, readings, web links)

I assume that you already know (from the class sessions to this day) ... I guess I was wrong.  If I mention a database (in a quiz or exercise), you get to the database from the CofC Libraries Web site (http://www.cofc.edu/library/), then click on the "article databases" tab to get to the A-Z list of databases; or get to a database from LibGuides --> Majors & Minors --> click on a specific discipline such as biology --> click on "find articles" in the case you only have a broad topic.  YOU DON'T JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH AND CLICK ON WHATEVER LINK IT GIVES YOU.

And if you are one of the few that are still confused, you really need to REVIEW the ppt lectures for class sessions 6 & 7 (we talked about access tools such as subscription databases, LibGuides, etc.).  We paid for subscription DBs, so you have to click on the links from our library Web site not from anywhere else.

Also, if I mention a quiz is based on readings from a specific session, you NEED to click on those links (not something else that you found on the Web).  For example, for quiz 2, the link to Library of Congress Classification Outline is on the syllabus under session 3.

Feel free to email me or come to talk to me if you're still confused (if the talk is lengthy, just email me to make an appointment, I'll be happy to schedule a time to talk).

PPT, flow-chart for today's session

I've uploaded the PPT, flow-chart (How to Get Journal Articles) to the syllabus, please review them.  Especially the flow-chart, that shows you how to get your hands on the articles that you need (from searching our databases).  You need to understand that, for the final project, you need to get the actual articles, not just the citations to the articles.
