First Sources--8/1/11
Once you get some feedback on your keywords, start trying to do some of your research through the databases available to you (most through UTPA's library, but also CompPile, available through the web). Try to locate at least three sources which look promising. Post the information for each here (at least author and title of work) (along with your research question). Read through others' sources to see if any of them might look promising to you as well. (And don't forget our book is an excellent collection of potential sources for you).
