Many thanks, also – just trying to print out and manage the physical copy of the book stopped me in my tracks. I can flip through 12 pages while exercising, but not 120!

I’ve noticed that before too. I’ve always told myself that if it were me I’d say: “You’re welcome and thank you for having me.” :-p

Lucky me: at OLA and ACRL, I won the (pleasure, right, honour) to buy the other two a beer. They still haven’t hit me up for it, though.

Greg – I did the legwork (I am a librarian, after all) and found your guides to the primary literature [http://faculty.washington.edu/crowther/Teaching/lit.shtml]; part assignment, part guide. I’ll check out some of your other writings.

Thanks Greg, that’s an interesting idea. Is the study guide you provide specific to the article they’re reading, or is it a general guide to reading the scientific literature?

I think the not-getting-bogged-down issue is absolutely essential.

This is because they often don’t know what they can safely ignore.
