Begin a conversation about the long term effects of U.S. support of Afghan Mujahideen with The Soviet-Afghan War: A Cold War Chess Piece. Examine the two essays, formulate new questions and create investigative news reports.
Check out what the McShain Library has on this subject:
Here is the way to search all of the library resources with ONE search…. No more multiple searches.
Just enter the term(s) you wish to know more about, choose a category and press search. You will get a list of results grouped by source…a group of books from the McShain Library, a list of articles from JSTOR, a group of books to be accessed through Interlibrary Loan, etc.
Keep in mind this is a trial version and is subject to abrupt changes and that some resources will not return results.
Your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.
After positive feedback from a few faculty members we now have access to Science Online from Facts on File. And like I said before, don’t let the name fool you. There is an excellent section on all types of mathematics.
Be sure to take a look at the videos and flash animation that help to explain some difficult concepts.
As always, be sure to cite your work. And remember-usernames and passwords are available in Moodle.
