Begin Your Research tutorial

Here is a really helpful UC research online tutorial, usable by any campus. Complete with a quiz, it's a great way to get students started who didn't have a library class and can't come in for help.  It was very helpful in training the McHenry Roving students.

Theater Arts 61A "Ancient & Medieval Drama" assignment

Here are a few Cruzcat subject headings for an assignment for Theater Arts 61A "Ancient & Medieval Drama". They have to find a medieval play (500-1500) and then a modern production of it. It would probably be helpful for them to have some context for the medieval version.

• Drama, Medieval
• Theater--History--Medieval, 500-1500
• Theater--England--History--Medieval, 500-1500
• English drama--to 1500 (there is one subheading for "modernized versions"
• Christian drama, Latin (Medieval and Modern)
• Theater and society--England--to 1500
