    The Hicks Undergraduate Library Audio Tour
    1) Go to the Hicks Undergraduate Library Circulation Desk.
    2) Tell the person behind the desk that you need to take the audio tour and that you'd appreciate it if you could fill out the card that says you were there. [Note: on the card, you put Linda Haynes, English 106, and Heavilon 303E.] You will be able to check out an audio iPod at the Circulation Desk so you may listen to the tour. You will be given a map of the library and a worksheet of questions to fill out.
    3) Take the tour, answer the worksheet questions, AND put the numbers on the map as the audio instructs you to do. You will need to hand BOTH of these sheets in for credit.
    4) You need to hand in the map and worksheet by Monday, March 24th.

    2) Under "Research Help," click on CORE (Comprehensive Online Research Education).
    3) Create an account so that you can send your quiz scores to me, return to your work, and keep track of your CORE progress. Remember (or write down somewhere safe) your login and password for this account you've just created. Always use this account on your CORE tutorials.
    4) Send all of your quiz scores directly to me. As a safeguard, you should also send your quiz scores to yourself. (My email: lhaynes@purdue.edu)
