Instead I wanted to discuss why teaching subject and genre searching in MLA Bibliography would create confusion in the mind of the average undergrad and suggested alternate search techniques. Needless to say that I probably wouldn't have fit in to the culture anyway.paksennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08850633754590003250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10092275.post-1150643784920523702006-06-18T10:16:00.000-05:002006-06-18T10:16:00.000-05:00Thanks for the creative ideas.

Reference librarians seemed to get it. Now that CDRS has become QuiestionPoint, however, I don't think I'd dare try it. That dance would take a troup on the order of Cirque du Soleil, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10092275.post-1150475339454361492006-06-16T11:28:00.000-05:002006-06-16T11:28:00.000-05:00Don't ever wrestle a cataloger.
