Get REAL!: Updating Cases

Now that you've started the research project and have found some cases, how do you know if you can still rely on those cases? Our final "Get REAL!" (Research and Electronic-Assisted Learning) class of the fall semester will be covering citators. Join Ethan on Tuesday, October 20, at 4:45 pm at the Reference Desk, to learn how to use these cryptic creations.

If you missed one of our earlier classes, stop by Ethan's office and arrange a convenient time for a "replay."
