One Way or Another

Okay. So I've been noodling around with the different parts of this project for about a month now. From the first general search the night it was assigned to the peaks and pitfalls of gathering the articles and experimenting with Publisher. I am very annoyed that I cannot use Publisher at home and especially that it is not included in my office works 2003 that came with my computer. So I will shlub it to NEIU later today to get the format right. I hope. Will it matter in the end? Doubtful. I am losing my enthusiasm for the class.
I finally got an article I have been trying to get since the initial Firstsearch in Eric I did the night I went to Video Games rather than Virtual Reality as keywords. It turns out the citation in Eric was incorrect. The Reference librarian said she had never seen anything like it and asked to keep my printout. We discovered the error while trying to track down a hard copy in the periodicals section on the second floor of the library. I mentioned to her that I had seen the article in other databases, in particular ebsco, She suggested we check that database for more clues as the volume number and the date in The Journal of Higher Education citation did not seem to correspond. We did a search at a computer station nearby and low and behold in ebsco the citation was for the Chronicle of Higher Learning and there was a full text link. Of course the printers on campus were all down (hopefully not tonight) but I e-mailed it to myself and was able to print it out at home. It is a "red thread" article as I suspected. I will write more about that later but the cafe near my apartment is about to open and I am doing much of the parsing and planning there this morning. Adding this new article to the mix I am feeling good about my material (one of my other articles is an interview with the professor featured in the seminal article) and am confident I have a comprehensive grouping for my review of literature.
