Spring 2006: Spanish 411/511 Library-Research Quiz
Introducción
Normally our class
goes to the library and we learn how to do research. Unfortunately for us, many of our librarians
are at a conference this week. I, too,
will be away at a seminar. In short,
please complete the following quiz to show that you know how to do basic
research using our library. If you have
questions, please contact the reference librarians on the second floor of
Millar Library. Quiz is due on April 11th. I will be away from e-mail, so I won’t be
able to help you until I return on April 11th. Wishing you a happy research experience!—of.
