Past Week

If you missed watching the video, "The Signs of the Times" I'll be putting a copy of the video on reserves for you to watch. I'll alert you when it is available. It is a VHS copy so if you do not have a VHS player you can watch it in the library's viewing room.

On 1/15 we discussed the importance of information. Here are the videos (*) we watched (along with some others) and a couple of tutorials about the information cycle you might find useful:
