two tips for the future

It looks like you've pulled some pretty good articles for the Discovery Task. I'll pick one out for us to use tomorrow morning.

But as I was browsing them, I thought of two tips for you.

1) How to cite journal articles... my personal feeling is that if the journal is actually published on paper, you don't really need to say that you got it from JSTOR, which would be kind of like saying you got it from such and such bookshelf. So...

Pants, Smarty. "Antigone: You Is My Woman Now." Catfish Row Journal of Haemon Studies (2009): 124-37.

2) To reduce the super-long web links you get from databases like ArtStor and JSTOR, use TinyURL.
