2011: System does not match user expectations
Davidson, D., ‘Locating literary language,’ in Literary Theory after Davidson, ed. Reed Way Dasenbrock (University Park: Pennsylvania State UP, 1993)
Tip: if you’re being asked to read a chapter, you
need to look up the book title on LibrarySearch

2012: Engaging with the found material
• Maintain your critical distance from the text
• Keep asking: how does this contribute to my understanding/my argument/my essay/my research?
Beware of “white rabbits” - ideas and arguments that lead
away from your topic
