RHE 312: Writing for Digital Environments

This library guide was designed by Gina Bastone, the English  & Rhetoric Librarian, specifically for RHE 312: Writing in Digital Environments, taught by Hannah Hopkins.

Research Help

• Email Gina, your course librarian, if you run into issues finding articles and books. Her email address is g.bastone@austin.utexas.edu
• Schedule a research consult – get live help from Gina, tailored to your chosen topic(s).
  • In some cases, Gina may refer you to another subject specialist librarian. Email her for a referral.
• Use the Ask A Librarian Chat Service, available until 9 pm, Sunday-Thursday. (This option is good for help after 5 pm.)

Library Catalog

The library catalog is a great way to start a search. You can limit to the catalog to search for books and ebooks, or you can expand to the Everything search option to include articles. You'll start with a book/ebook search in class on February 29 at the PCL.

Library Research Guides by Subject

Given that your jump-start kits will require consulting journals and databases from a wide range of disciplines, you'll need to get familiar with other library guides.

Subject specialist librarians have created guides for most disciplines represented at UT. Below is a selection relevant to your topics, but if you can't find what you need, refer to the Guides by Subject page, or contact Gina for referrals and additional help.

Your instructor or subject librarian may throw around the term "library database" a lot, but what exactly do they mean? This video from RMIT University in Australia explains the term and how you can use databases for research. (Plus, the narrator has a great accent!)
