1. RESEARCH ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE

Term paper season is upon us once again.
Please remind students that they can contact either Richard Phillips ( [log in to unmask] ) or Paul Losch ( [log in to unmask] ) for assistance in locating sources.
Contacting us in advance allows us to be more thorough in our searching, but, of course, we are usually available "on the spot" as students come in.
