Articles from the syllabus
Library searching tip!
You can find some of the articles for the course through the Libraries. For instance, most of the news articles are available in the U.S. Newsstream database. To do a title search in the database, copy and paste the title of the article into the search box and put quotation marks around it. Adding the quotation marks tells the database that you want only results with those exact words in that exact order. It is important that everything is spelled correctly when you do a search using quotation marks.
