Today was the second day of finals, and the third day of finals week. The library has been CRAZY! I always like to see the new faces. Some people walk in to Feinberg for the first time and have no idea how to use it. Which is fine, that is why we are here. We get a lot of questions ranging from how to find a book to people who have been searching for an article for hours. My favorite questions are the citing questions. Especially from the history majors. (Yeah I know I am a little biased.) But they usually have the hardest sources to cite and history majors have to use the ever exciting Chicago style. (I actually like it.) You know you are in trouble when you have to reach for the orange Chicago Bible.
I hope everyone’s finals week is going well. I am curious about what everyone has been doing in the library thus far. Any interesting events? Troublesome times? Funny moments? Share with me your finals week stories.
I’ll start… I have been writing several papers and one is for my History of East Asian Women course. I am doing a paper on women writers in late imperial China and I have one book that is 1000 pages. I always like to photocopy books so I do not have to carry around the book. But alas! I need way to many pages to copy. It is a great book btw. It is called The Red Brush: Writing Women of Imperial China. I have basically been at the library, or blueroom since Thursday! Great times!
Good luck all!
