Tipi Pictures

Here are 3 pictures from the tipi seminar(s)....more to come as I get them from Tara (and thanks, Tara! So glad you brought your camera)

Oops! I should have told you...

If you are NOT on the Trent network when you try to access articles through the links, you will need to log into JSTOR (the same way you log on to Trent computers) in order to access them.

Or you can email me and I can send them to you. If I'm still up, that is.

Tipi this Wednesday

We will be having seminar in the Trent tipi this Wednesday. I will be heading out there at about 5 to start the fire (well, not me; figured I'd draft hubby to start it, actually) ... so it should be nice and warm by the time you get there but please do dress appropriately.

Directions to the tipi courtesy of Tara:

Directions to the Tipi: The Tipi is located off of the Gzowski college parking lot. When you are travelling to the East Bank campus (where OC and Gzowski are located), turn left into the Gzowski parking lot-take another left after approximately 10 parking spaces. You will see an opening and a sign-walk in and then voila you have made it! Hope this helps!

See you there.

Resources for Paper

Well, here are a few to start with - feel free to add to the list in the comments - or if you would like to have access to write articles of your own, etc. send me an email and I will add you to the blog admins.

Please provide as much info as possible about any references you come across - I will, if need be, convert things to correct MLA format (once I get functional again - wisdom teeth out tomorrow!)

If you are having problems re: finding resources about a specific theme/topic, post a comment, and hopefully I, or one of your fellow students, will come up with some for you.

You may also use this blog to discuss any issues related to CAST 1000....Canadian studies... the Olympics.... whatever!

Oh, and the 7 p.m. seminar group has expressed interest in holding one of our meetings in Trent's teepee, which is entirely doable .... will be booking that for a week in March... if you are in the 6 p.m. group and have an opinion about holding a class in there (either way) please let me know, either in a comment or by emailing me directly @ sleeplessinwherever@hotmail.com. Also, I have saved copies of each of the following articles, so if you have any trouble finding them through jstor, email me and I will forward via email.

Formatting is not quite right, thanks to Blogger - but I will, if there are enough to warrant it, do up a proper Works Cited document and make it available to anyone that wants it (so that you can cut and paste the ones you need from it to your papers).

I see that there are quite a few changes to MLA style, according to the https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/which I typically use to check formats - urls are no longer required, for example - and it DOES in fact, include the word web in electronic journal listings (ick!).

To check out citation guidelines for movies and films, visit this page in the Owl @ Purdue site. Please note that if you do get your film(s) from the NFB site, I would like the url included even though MLA citation no longer requires it.
