ENGL 1170.105: Linked Stories (Fall 2009)  Tags: linguistics_language_literature library_research  

Welcome to the Cornell University Library

"We will investigate a number of short fiction collections that concern a defining incident or trace the development of a character (or characters) over a period of time and/or geographical space. When these stories are read together as a collection, they can define a world. This course, then, in discussion and frequent writing, explores some of the finest achievements of modern short fiction that share a common setting, characters, or an overarching plot. Texts include works by the following authors: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Edwidge Danticat, Junot Diaz, and Jhumpa Lahiri."

In this library session we will discuss and practice a variety of research strategies for finding and evaluating information using the resources and services provided by the Cornell University Library.
