//Rationale:// Here's a library assignment as it was in 2009. The "analysis" section is for the students to do on their own, after the presentation from Debbie Chaves (from the library) visits the class. The "recap" explains the objectives. As I mentioned, one of the articles is ONLY in print, so they actually have to look IN the stacks!
