New UTA Library add-on for Firefox browser

Dr. G. — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:54:08 +0000

Since I’m “forcing” you to use the Firefox browser in order to get to Zotero, you might want to try out the new Firefox toolbar that our librarians have developed. Our library catalog still doesn’t work with Zotero, but the toolbar can save you some time in launching different searches of the library catalog and databases.

Follow the links from the library page below and let me know if you find it useful!

Set-up examples: Book reviews

For the purposes of our class, I recommend that you do NOT read book reviews until you have finished reading the book in question and writing about it. But it is important to know that book reviews are out there, and how to access and use them. Here are a handful on the Bailyn book.
