HIST 145: History of Asia 

1) Identify topic of interest--based on reserve readings

2) Identify information retrieval tools in subject area

3) Learn how to search these tools efficiently and effectively.

For the next hour or so we are going to explore the bibliography of Asia. Our main objective will be to learn how to effectively and efficiently retrieve scholarly articles on topics related to the history of Asia.

Professor Jeanne Stierman will introduce students to library resources on Asian history and show them ways to search for potential outside sources (i.e., sources outside of the required readings) for their critical reading paper. At the end of the session, students are required to submit to Prof. Pamonag a bibliographic list of their potential outside sources. Bibliographic entries must follow the following format:

For book: Author’s last name, First name. Book Title. Place of publication: Publisher, date of publication.

For journal article: Author’s last name, First name. “Article Title.” Journal Title x, no. x (year): pages.
