Still in ST 120

Hey all:

No word from the IT folks about the program, so we’re meeting in ST 120 in the AM. Bring all your work; we’re working on maps now.

Google Docs

Hey all:

Some of you have been added to the Google Doc, but I think you might be a bit confused.

  1. Go to Google Docs
  2. Sign In
  3. Click on your class (EMB 265, MIN 252, JOU 220)

You should see the outline; however, the class outline stopped after week 4, I think, since you are now working on your projects.

If you try this and it still doesn’t work, ping me. I’ll be in the lab tonight at 445. IM might be best. I’ve helped a few students out already, and basically, it’s been the above problem. No worries if it’s not. We’ll get you hooked up.

Lab Today

I’ll be in the ST 120 lab at 445 today. I’ll be there for a few hours. Feel free to stop by if you’re looking to get some work in - or if you have questions.

Using Lexis-Nexis

I got a good question on searching in Lexis-Nexis from Brytani. She asked how you string together search terms. Here’s a quick guide:

  1. You can do commas if you want any of the words (Big, Red, Machine)
  2. You can use + if you want all the words (Big + Red + Machine)
  3. You can use ” ” if you want the words together (”Big Red Machine”)

Also, make sure you choose as many publications as you can initially - and make your search very broad to begin with - and then you can hone it down. If you need help, let me know what you are searching for -= and what terms you are using.

And finally, you may want to use Google News first. Sometimes, that helps you figure out other terms you can search for.
