EWP 060.113: License to Fool


The following resources will be especially useful in helping you obtain information relating to researching your paper for License to Fool; however, these resources may be of help in other courses throughout your undergraduate career. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Elizabeth Uzelac, Instructional Services Coordinator and Librarian for Education.


Library Catalog  ?  Finding Articles ? General Reference ?  Evaluating & Citing Resources

Use the library catalog to find books and movies on the subject:

Using any search module (alphabetical, basic keyword, or advanced keyword), type in your subject terms. If you use the alphabetical search module, you can even browse relevant subject area divisions. If you use the keyword search modules, you can search for books by combining subject terms and other keywords. Some useful subject terms for this specific class include, but are by no means limited to:

Comedians
Fools OR clowns
Comedy OR humor
Chaplin, Charlie, 1889-1977

Remember to be flexible when you're searching the catalog; use synonyms for your subject terms.

HINT: Once you find a catalog record for a book that is useful, look at the subjects it is classified under. Click on those subject headings and you'll be directed to other books with the same general topic.


Databases for finding articles in journals, magazines, and other places:

For News, Magazine Articles, etc.
