Link to the Bibliographies page

in order to find the articles listed for your topic. A number are available for download from this site.

1. Articles indicating "ask me for a copy" or "course CD" may be found on the CDs I created for you.
2. Articles listed as "Available at NOVA or GMU" should be at the Auraria Campus library, but I haven't yet researched local availability.

Key Note

Every student should read two articles, (1) the article assigned to your group listed at the left of this page (2) another article you select from your topic's Bibliography page (linked above). Please remember, every member must select a different article for (2), so talk with your group mates about your article choice to assure you haven't chosen the same article as someone else.
