If you haven\u2019t stopped by recently, you may want to look again. \u00a0You\u2019ll find icon portraits of a variety of figures, including St. Ignatius of Loyola and Mother Theresa of Calcutta, but also Harvey Milk of San Francisco, and Steven Biko of South Africa, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Other topics to cross the Reference Desks have included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Hyde Park-Kenwood Urban Renewal project, 1956.<\/li>\n<li>Jeremiah the Prophet<\/li>\n<li>Sandra Bem<\/li>\n<li>Ethics and accuracy in American journalism<\/li>\n<li>Syria and humanitarian relief<\/li>\n<li>SWOT analysis for Campbell\u2019s Soup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, some other conversations we\u2019ve had:<\/p>\n<p>A student looking for historical rankings of television shows was directed to the American Decades series, in the reference collection, which provides the top 10 ranked shows for each decade.<\/p>\n<p>A researcher\u00a0logged into IM looking for information about how the use of the Spanish subjunctive has changed with different generations of Spanish speakers. \u00a0The librarian was able to find some dissertations, including: The subjunctive in Miami Cuban Spanish: Bilingualism, contact, and language variability, and some articles, including: Past and present perspectives on language change in US Spanish by searching with the terms: subjunctive and Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>A student was researching the costs of college textbooks, specifically how the recent economic recession has affected students. \u00a0The librarian suggested starting with Academic Search Complete and Education Research Complete, with the search terms: higher education OR college OR university AND cost OR expense AND economic conditions, expanding the search to all costs, not just textbook costs. \u00a0They found a relevant research paper that was produced by NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) and tracked down the original report. \u00a0They then searched for more material about rising tuition, and found an article specifically about Illinois, which was very helpful for the student.<\/p>\n<p>Someone asked about finding articles from the 1950s about television, hoping to find information specifically about I Love Lucy, Dragnet, and the Colgate Comedy Hour.\u00a0The librarian suggested newspapers as a great source, and they found many articles from our Historical Newspapers databases about all three programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to This Week in Reference!
