Hell-o,
My name is Robin Satterwhite, and I am a Reference Librarian at Tutt Library. There are very few assignmnets that Professor Seward makes that do not involve me in some way or another.

If you want to get a good start in this course, I suggest that you make an appointment with me--individually or in small groups, as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Robin

Assignment 1: The Research Paper. This paper covers a decade of Black women’s writing. You should develop a topic on a particular social, cultural, or literary theme or a theme that focuses on a particular writer within a particular decade. The research component contextualizes the topic with relevant historical and social material. In addition to the paper, you should provide a separate bibliography (that is, in addition to the one you present for your actual paper) for the decade containing a complete list of resources by and about Black women writers and their works (including poetry, plays and autobiographies) published in that decade. I would like a conference with each student to approve your paper topic.

Note: At least 10% of the bibliographic item should come from resources that Tutt does NOT own.
