Welcome to the Econ 108 Research Blog

I have set up this blog to help guide you through your class research assignment. Subscribe to this blog (see bottom of page "subscribe to posts") with an RSS reader account and you'll receive updates regarding changes to the blog, as well as suggestions for research resources.

Use the Meebo IM box below to instant message your research questions to me on Mondays between 12 and 2pm and Wednesdays between 9 and 10pm OR, and as always, you may email me and set up a consultation: scottk@ucsc.edu.

Assignment Recommendations:

1. set up an RSS feed for New York Times articles. This will help you keep track of your policy issue and alert you to stories to track down in the print pages.
2. start looking for books and articles early. Interlibrary Loan is an excellent service, but it is not an overnight service and cannot be relied on for last minute research results.
3. ask for help when you need it. The library's hours are available here. Help with research is available at the Reference Desk 7 days a week.
