Here’s our last This Week in Reference of the quarter. We’ll take a short break over December, but will be back in January 2015!
This past week, we met with quite a few students researching the various myths of Hercules. When searching this topic in a database, it’s useful to include all of the various spellings of this Greek divine hero, including Hercules, Heracles, and Herakles.
Other topics coming our way included:
- Frenemies
- Wicca
- Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory
- Tesla
- Aristotle and Time
And, an in-depth look at a conversation we’ve had via IM, in person, through email, or over the phone:
Question: Hi! I’m trying to find some articles about tickling and when and why it might be considered appropriate behavior.
Answer: There are lots of articles on tickling in the popular and scholarly literature! Search Academic Search Complete and PsycINFO together using the truncated keyword tickl* combined with words like “social norms,” “behavior,” and/or “culture.”
This Week in Reference: November 9 – November 15, 2014
