I began my day by meeting with Beth and Dwight about the upcoming Syllabus for the Library Research course. It gave me a chance to share my knowledge about Course Development. I also shared how helpful the faculty sessions they offer at the Kaneb Center to be really helpful in my professional development as a Teaching Librarian. The rest of the morning and part of the afternoon I spent quality time with Dwight and Chris learning and doing citation analysis of Federal and State Statues. One of the research topics had to do with:

Improving Healthcare for uninsured children in the wake of the state children's health insurance program
(SCHIP). We had to review citations mentioned in the bibliography.
Balanced budget Act of 1997 sSS 4901, 111 stat.552 (codified at 42 U.S.C. ss ss 1397jj(Suppl.IV 1998)
Mo.Ann.Stat.SS 455.010(5) (West 2000).

Cite Checking Exercise - Statues
Uruguay Round Agreements Act, Pub.L.No.103-465, 108 Stat. 48-9 (1994).

The key to this was doing fact-checking with various print sources. This was really a good opportunity. I am going to spend the rest of the day doing citation exercise. This was not bad at all. Dwight and Chris are awesome!
