During the academic year, it is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00am until 4:30pm; however, during Reading Period and Exam Period, they are open Monday–Friday from 9:30am until 4:30pm. The second floor seminar room contains a coffee and tea machine, cookies and other snacks, and plenty of space to write, read, and study. Quick Tips: Mapping out Your Research Before You Begin It's important to take time to map out your research, even if you are on a deadline—it can save you time on the long term by allowing you to structure your research more efficiently! 1. Start off by consulting research guides (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) , especially if you are unfamiliar with the discipline. 2. Use encyclopedias to get an overview on the topic. Oxford Reference Online (http://harvard.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) and Encyclopedia Brittanica (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) are great starting points. 3. You can find encyclopedias on Hollis+ using “Advanced Search” and typing “encyclopedia” under the subject. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that you can quickly search for e-books on HOLLIS+, so that you can save time by not going to the library? Simply type a topic of your choice in the main search bar on HOLLIS+, and limit your search to "Books" before clicking the search button. When you get to the results page, click "Online" in the "Show only" menu at the top of the screen. All the resources on this page should now be e-books. As an added convenience, you should be able to search through e-books for key words, making it even easier to find what you are looking for! Upcoming Events River Central/River East Write Night Friday, December 2, 7–9pm Lowell Coolidge Room Sip coffee and munch on bagels while getting writing and research advice from PRFs and Lowell's Writing Tutor, Marina Connelly All students and all houses are invited to attend! Emily Dickinson Birthday Party Friday, December 9, 10:30–12pm Edison and Newman Room, Houghton Library Image of two black birds on a branch, with title "Sublime and Manifest" Book of the Week: The book of the week is Kitchen (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) , by Banana Yoshimoto. http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3… In this contemporary Japanese classic, Yoshimoto follows the story of Mikage Sakurai, a young woman responding to the death of her grandmother. Mikage soon forms a familial bond with her friend, Yoichi, and his trans mother, Eriko. Have a work you would like to recommend to your peers? Submit recommendations using this form!

If you would like borrowing privileges, a free membership is available for residents of Cambridge (all you need is a photo ID and a proof of address).

There are also sound-insulated rooms for group study (Fig. 2). Red machine with laptops for library patrons to borrow Glass room with wooden chairs Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Quick Tips: Organizing Your Research Organizing your research and writing is important—it saves time in the long run and helps you avoid accidentally mis-citing sources. Here are a few suggestions for organizing—we recommend you do them well in advance of the deadline! 1. Start off by creating a list of sources. To narrow down sources, consider looking at the relevant library research guide (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) or making an appointment with the relevant reference librarian (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) . Also try using HOLLIS+ (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) and discipline-appropriate databases (http://harvard.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) . 2. Read and annotate all your sources. Don't forget to always cite the source and page number before you forget. 3. Make an outline. Do this one to three weeks before the deadline and consult your TF or professor. 4. Do additional research based on holes in your outline. 5. Consult the Writing Center (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) and/or your Department or Hoiuse Writing Tutor for feedback. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that you can use truncation to get more relevant search results? For example, suppose that you are interested in the topic of childhood memory retrieval. Some articles might contain the word "child" while others might contain the word "children" or "childhood." In order to search for all these terms, you can simply enter "child*" into the search bar. The asterisk will search for words that begin with "child." An asterisk can also be used in the middle of a word—for example, searching for "col*r" will return results including both the American and British spellings of the word.

In some cases, you can download plug-ins to your browser, which can be used to automatically insert in-text citations into a project, or can provide a quick and easy way to send yourself references that you can store for later use.

Boston Public Library's newly-renovated Johnson Building debuted in July, and it's a great (and colorful!) place to work. To get to the library, take the Red Line to Park Street, and then switch to the Green Line to Copley. Quick Tips: Using Boolean Operators in Search Terms Boolean operators can make your search results more relevant to what you’re looking for. The three most common booleans are AND, OR, and NOT. * AND will find sources that contain all the keywords you mention. If a source is missing even one keyword, it won’t show up. * OR will find sources that contain any of the keywords you mention. Some results might only have one keyword, others might contain one or two, or even all your keywords. * NOT will avoid any source that contains the keyword you mention. If you search "Liebniz NOT Spinoza," then your search will return sources that ONLY mention Liebniz. If a source mentions Leibniz and Spinoza, it won’t be included. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that PubMed (http://harvard.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) allows you to search for medical articles? However, PubMed uses a branching search system that is fairly different from HOLLIS+. To search PubMed, type your search term into the search box without any punctuation, including quotes and asterisks. In the new search window, change “PubMed” to “MeSH” on the drop-down menu next to the search bar. Then hit “Search.” Choose the entry that best matches your search (unless you are automatically redirected to the result.) Then, select a desired sub-heading. If you want the term to be the primary subject of the article, select “Restrict to MeSH Major Topic.” You can also look at the terms below your term on the MeSH hierarchy at the bottom of the page (Under the “Previous Indexing” header). Finally, click the “Add to search builder” button (on the right), and then click the “Search PubMed” button below that. Upcoming Events: Need help organizing your research?

Black book cover with title, "The Footnote" We all use them, but how much do you know about the humble footnote?

Black book cover with title, "The Footnote" We all use them, but how much do you know about the humble footnote? Grafton's book humorously details the history and varied usage of the footnote, and, by extension, the history of the written form in the Western World.
