Urban Studies Senior Seminar Spring 2008 

Since each of you have different topics, you are invited to work individually with librarian Jeremy Donald as you do your research. Research is an iterative process--meaning that it is not a single step in the paper process but rather a pervasive element of your thinking and writing.

Feel free to email or call (x8176) for an appointment.
