subject encyclopedias

We need to do this together in class or they will have no idea what to do. The idea is to show them how used adeptly, these can be amazing starting resources. But they are HARD to use, esp. compared with google. I find myself getting frustrated if I have to spend time searching or getting really frustrated when they don't have the variety of articles that for example wikipedia does! I find that they are only really helpful when you're doing a big topic like temperament, but for one student's topic of "stress in college students" it was completely unhelpful. Maybe I shouldn't even bother with them!!
