Class Notes 10/12

Today we worked with Librarian Lucretia McCulley, and she gave us a lot of helpful information about researching our folk tale/fairy tale.

Her information: lmcculle@richmond.edu / 804.289.8670

  • A research guide has been created by the library for every major and even this class. They can all be found here: http://libguides.richmond.edu
    • Then just scroll down and find the FYS tab and then the Storytelling and Identity subcategory
      • Here you will find links to the Library Catalog, OneSearch (a site that allows you to search through most of the University’s books, journal articles, newspapers, and more) citation information, and more.
    • Use the Library Catalogue to find a story then use other databases such as OneSearch to find information about your story.
  • Jack Zipes: well known for editing folk tales. If you search his name in the library catalogue (http://librarycat.richmond.edu/vwebv/searchBasic) you will get a lot of fairy tales that you can use.
  • This project is not a memoire story. This is a project about YOU finding something you are interested in and following it. You are trying to find something that connects you to your origins and your past and then find a FICTIONAL story to tell and share with the class.
  • McCulley handed out a Literature Search Tracking Log
    • I can scan this and send it to anyone who was absent and would like it
  • Annotated Bibliography
    • Proper citation then double space and put a paragraph summarizing and “defending your source” aka why it’s useful to your research
    • For this assignment we will be using Chicago style citations
