Assignment for week of Oct. 20 (to be submitted to pprieto@usm.maine.edu by Tuesday, Oct 27):
1. Email me 3 citations from a database other than Academic Search Premier. Make sure to put your name in the subject line or the comments box so I know who it is from.
2. Using Library of Congress Subject Headings, available in Glickman Library, find 2 subject headings that you think may be useful in your research for your final paper. Write a 1-2 line explanation/justification of how/why you think these headings will be helpful.
