cleolindaSTUPID INTERNET. Is going in and out. Am getting upgraded modem tomorrow, just in time to RESEARCH PAPER THAT WILL PREVENT ME FROM AUTOMATICALLY FAILING, THANKS.
ETA: I am so dumb. How have I been in an MFA program for like three years now and never noticed the "download article in PDF format" option before? *steals like a stealing thing*

I got all the way into a PhD program before I heard of The Modern Language Association or The Reader's Guide.

Date: 2005-06-13 12:51 am (UTC)Completely apropos of nothing, and just as an fyi, I wanted to point out that I have made Veronica Mars Heroine Addict icons (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kyranjaye/108468.html). Well, two, anyway. Since, you know, you are the goddess of HA icons and all...

Date: 2005-06-13 03:07 am (UTC)... I guess that's what having a librarian for a mom got me. Though my MA program required a class on research methods. I guess it depends on your university?

Date: 2005-06-13 04:15 am (UTC)Have you tried using the Google Scholar beta? I've found a few articles through there that the Ebscohost-type-searches sometimes don't have...
Best of luck. I'm sure you will do wonderfully and not fail at all...I mean you were writing a book for goodness' sakes, how many grad students have that excuse?

Date: 2005-06-13 12:29 pm (UTC)I can so relate to fading internet connections -- my perfectly good and efficient ISP was swallowed in a corporate merger, and now I get regular outages of fifteen minutes or so at various points during the day. Blargh.
Hope everything works out. Though I am quite sure that things will work out, and in wonderful ways, as well.
