Too true, Michael, too true.

Thanks, Sandra, for the Google searches. I'll look through them to see what I can use.

Second night without Shawna. Hard to believe she was here for such a short time but has become such an important part of our lives. It's going to be a long month.

I spent most of the day in the library researching for my paper. The working bibliography is due tomorrow. I learned some good tips about researching.

Remember, the last time I used a library for serious research all the records were on paper and the sources were too. It's been 30 years since I was in college and the world seems to have moved on.

First of all is Google Scholar. At the top of the Google search page is a drop down menu titled 'more'. If you click on it you'll find a bunch of items including one that says 'Scholar'. Searches made using that one will eliminate all the miscellaneous sites that have nothing to do with research. The other choices are interesting also, especially Google-Banjo.

Also, the library is connected... with the world. They have on-line access to 22,000 periodicals! I didn't think there were that many. And that includes more than a name and list of contents. It includes the contents.

So, if I want to look at a journal from the university in Aukland I only have to look it up on our library's web site and that will connect me to the journal.

I'm tired. Think I'll go to bed.

Just kidding about Google-Banjo, Charlie.
