The class attended a workshop at the Newman Library with Librarian Lisa Elise. She introduced the CUNYPlus search, RefWorks for citation, etc.
I find sources such as the Economist, Associate Press, NY Times useful for current events. Sometimes, I use google books instead of buying the actual books if the text is available i.e. I read Waverly Jong and Partial Remembrance on google books so I didn’t have to buy the Conscious Reader.
Although the workshop was pretty long and not very exciting.. it was helpful. I really think I will use some of the things she showed us to do my reaserch for my paper.
