It's been quiet time here at work since I got to the desk at 1. I've made some study room reservations and a coworker at another campus called me to try and get help with a reference question stumper - info needed on biracial relationships in Civil Rights era Texas. I had a lot of problems finding resources about this topic. I looked in JSTOR (the public library has a subscription) and found nothing. Maybe it's just been so long since I've used JSTOR I don't know how to use it? Note to self: look for tutorials on JSTOR. And I found a subject heading that should have been awesome "Texas-Race relations-History-20th century" but eh, neither our library nor UT had anything that looked promising. Curses on teasing subject headings! I told my coworker that she should email the Texas History librarian and cc the student to see if the full-time librarian had super secret knowledge on the topic.
The only other questions I've had are - Is "descriptional" a word? Answer: Springer says it is and if they are bold enough to publish articles with "descriptional" in the title, by golly it must be a word to them! AND How do I cite this article that I got from GVRL? The student was pretty excited when I showed Hir the citation at the bottom of the article. Go GVRL Go!
