My Library Tech Tip

Hey! So this week I added a couple of tools such as JStor and Ebsco as my top two tools that I most frequently use right now. I have a couple of papers coming up for my history of science class, so I chose those two. I typically start off my research by searching on google first and then see where the article is found and then type the article into the OU Library database if I can't find the full article online first. JStor has a lot of great articles and has always been the place I go to whenever I start a paper where references are needed.

Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part B

Who Stole the Tarts: This story is part of the Alice in Wonderland unit. Story source: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865).

- Alice is at the Court of Justice: King & Queen of Heart are at the head of the court
- Judge = King; has a great wig
- Alice is hungry, eyeing the plate of tarts
- 12 jurors made up of a variety of creatures
- various pieces of conversations all around
- All this time the Queen had never left off staring at the Hatter, and, just as the Dormouse crossed the court, she said to one of the officers of the court, 'Bring me the list of the singers in the last concert!' on which the wretched Hatter trembled so that he shook both his shoes off.'Give your evidence,' the King repeated angrily, 'or I'll have you executed, whether you're nervous or not.'- The list of witnesses is worked through
- Alice watched the White Rabbit as he fumbled over the list, feeling very curious to see what the next witness would be like, ' — for they haven't got much evidence YET,' she said to herself. Imagine her surprise when the White Rabbit read out, at the top of his shrill little voice, the name 'Alice!'

Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part A

Wonderland: Down the Rabbit-Hole. This story is part of the Alice in Wonderland unit. Story source: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865).

- Alice is sitting at the bank with her sister who is reading a book without any pictures, getting bored

- She sees a rabbit, who pulled out a pocket watch, made Alice interested and she followed him

- Alice fell down the rabbit hole without realizing where she was following the rabbit to 

- The fall was long and she found a jar of Orange Marmalade

- "There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked, and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again."

- "It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do THAT in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they WOULD not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them"

- first a bottle that says "drink me" 

- next a cake that says "eat me"
