Week of 9-12 February 2015

Week of 9-12 February 2015

 

Monday and Tuesday:

 

Mrs. D from the Jasper Public Library – the nice folks who give us remaindered books – will make a presentation about sourcing books and research materials for free through various State of Texas and university databases via your computer and smartphone.

 

This is the sort of developing technology you will use at university and in your careers, so please attend to the presentation carefully.

 

Accessing the databases is accomplished through public and university libraries. If you have a Jasper Public Library card, you have this access.  If not, and if you live in the Jasper Public Library service area, you can apply for a Jasper Public Library card for free with identification and any piece of snail-mail (such as a utility bill) that shows that you live in the service area.  The library is open both tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday.

 

Wednesday and Thursday:

 

We will continue the lessons as per the handouts you were given Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

 

My Verizon / AOL / Toshiba continuum of poor service with a circle spinning pointlessly is become less and less reliable, so should you receive this information please pass it on to your classmates.
