-- ATTENTION: CHANGE OF ASSIGNMENT: Blackwell Library has selected today as our Library Research Orientation Day. Meet in the downstairs of Blackwell Library; from there, Kathryn Kalmanson, Head of Reference, will walk us through researching materials in the library and via online databases available through the library (makes Google look insufficient). You'll need to know all this for Paper #4, so now's the time.
