[LM_NET] REF: Sample Research Questions

[Kay Goss <klg@TNP.MORE.NET>]

Dear Great and Wonderous Members:

I have to give a refresher How to Research lesson to the seniors on Thursday
afternoon.
They are writing Literary Analysis/Criticism papers. 
Every time I give the How-To lesson I change it. For example, is there any
need to include anything from the Reader's Guide except to mention the book
reviews?

I have compiled a list of literary research web sites for them to use. We
have access to EbscoHost and the Discovering Authors databases. 
I will of course cover the things to consider before using any information
from the Internet.

This time I think it might be helpful to include a practice search activity.

Could you send me with example questions that required narrowing the topic,
choosing the best  terms,  and considerable time to answer-- via the
Internet. 
Literature questions--even Do you know this book?--would be good.


Thanks in advance.
