You want to know a secret?  Okay, so classifying this as a secret is melodramatic, but either way, I’ll tell you.  When you’re looking up articles/book chapters in MLA or America: History and Life, you can add them into your folder (I’m assuming you can do this for any database on EBSCO).  Then, click on view folder’s contents.  You can email yourself all the citations (you have to specify MLA format), and for any of the selected sources in your folder that are available as a PDF file, it will also email you that file.  So while I was picking sources for my preliminary bibliography, for each keyword search I did, I emailed myself the search history (as an .html file), the MLA citations, and any PDF files that were available.  I labeled each email’s subject line with the appropriate search information.  Then, this afternoon, I went through all those emails and downloaded and renamed the PDF files to reflect the author and title of the article chapter.


If I have a book checked out from UCF that you think might have information about your project, just get in touch with me.  You’re more than welcome to photocopy the sections applicable to your project. 


Now of course comes the hard part – reading through the sources, and figuring out which ones to keep and which to discard.  Plus, there are some sources from my preliminary bibliography that I need to hunt down the full article as a PDF file, or see if they’re in the library at UCF.  But that’s another list for another day, hopefully tomorrow.
