Also, take a look at this link since these resources will be very useful, but I doubt that I will time to show them to you in the library Guide to using the MLA database, other databases, and interlibrary loan; how to find the course reserve
You might flip through the book and beging looking for an author who interests you.
Week 2 (Jan. 14-18)
M: Library day. This is the day that you will begin, if you have not already, researching your topic. While many of you may not have a topic, you can at least begin to familiarize yourself with the research process. I encourage you to pick a topic and find the research early, as other students will also need many of the same sources that you will need.This is also a good day to ask any questions that you may have about finding sources. We will meet on the steps of the library. This is not optional. If you do not show up, you will be counted absent. If it is raining, we will meet just inside of the library doors (the area inside the doors but before you walk through the scanners).

F:Draft of research
paper due for editing workshop. The paper will be entirely written at
this point. This session is a time for others to help proofread your paper.
This workshop session will focus on sentence level issues such as word choice,
grammar, and correct citation and integration of sources within the paper. You will bring in full six pages. Less than six pages will result in a ten point deduction from your research paper grade. I am using the research paper to take roll, so if you have no paper or less than six pages, I will count you absent.
Week 15 (Apr. 15-19)
M: Journals 1-12 due. Journal list
W: Research Paper due
F: Last day of classes. Journal 13-15 due. We will share these in class.
