[HumanSer] HumanSer Digest, Vol 216, Issue 2

[Lia Jacobsen]

Hi Bonnie,

When I was in school 3 years ago, there was a reference librarian and a
writing coach at the school, both of whom were willing to go over citations
with me for each paper, as I found using the APA book to be a little too
tricky for me. After a few papers, I ended up not using them much because I
learned the formatting pretty well and only consulted with them
occasionally. Or googled.

Also, odd question for the group and I may have missed this, as I haven't
been checking e-mail for a bit, but are y'all planning on meeting next week?

Thanks,
Lia
