Follow a Footnote
In the first of two library workshops for this class, we will explore the idea of scholarship as conversation and use your professor's "Follow a Footnote" assignment to begin to understand the research process and how to find information.
Examples:
Joseph Brodsky, "The Condition We Call Exile." Renaissance and Modern Studies 34.1 (1991): 1-8.
Michelle Nijhuis, "Which Species Will Live?" Scientific American (August 2012): 75-79
O.Hoegh-Guldberg, et al., "Coral Reefs Under Rapid Climate Change and Ocean Acidification" Science (2012): 1737-1742.
