GENERAL REFERENCE WORKS

Why Reference Sources?

Is your research topic too big to cover in a short paper?  Is your topic so specific that sources will be hard to find?

Before you even begin your research, start the process with reference sources-- in the Library's Reference Section or online in our databases.  Reference books, like subject encyclopedias, can give you a head start and make your research easier in the long run.  Use reference sources to:

• find a topic
• narrow your topic
• find keywords
• get background information on your topic

OTHER RESEARCH GUIDES

College of DuPage Creative Works Celebration and Display
November 2015 - January 2016
College of DuPage Library
SRC 2020

This exhibit recognizes faculty and staff who have enriched the COD community through their creativity. It represents works produced in the last six years and submitted to the Library for the 2015 exhibit by College of DuPage faculty and staff. In some cases, works have been listed but not exhibited. The listings for contributors do not indicate their productivity during this period, as they were asked to submit only those works that we felt we could exhibit. We have made every effort to describe works accurately and regret any errors that may remain. We wish to express our great appreciation to all participants. It is always a rewarding activity for the Library. - Ellen Sutton, Dean of Learning Resources

Think the days of people trying to limit what you can read are over?

Think again. Each year, the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom puts together a list of the 10 most challenged books in this country. A challenge is defined as a request that a library remove a book from its shelves. In 2014 alone, the Office of Intellectual Freedom reports 311 books were challenged.

Want to know more? Check out the American Library Association's graphics depicting reasons for book challenges, the people most likely to challenge a book, and types of institutions most likely to receive a challenge from 1990-1999 and 2000-2009.

One Challenge Highlighted

FUN HOME (A graphic novel)

In August 2015 many freshman students at Duke University refused to read this book that was selected for the Common Experience reading, stating that this went against their beliefs.

Countless health research studies and documented medical cases show the negative effects of stress on health and wellbeing. Stressful situations in our workplaces are unavoidable. If we cannot control or stop the causes of stress, we can find positive, constructive methods to maintain our health and wellbeing. Humor relieves stress and helps us be positive, productive and effective.

Join this workshop to learn how humor can reduce stress and create a more positive work environment!

Negative Health Effects of Stress

Stress is caused by any event or occurrence (ongoing or isolated) that threatens an individual's coping strategies or resources.

Common physical manifestations of stress:

• disrupted sleep
• indigestion, stomach ache
• chest pains, high blood pressure
• fatigue
• back or neck pain, headaches

.
Common psychological manifestations of stress:

• anxiety
• frustration



• irritability
• depression
• burnout

Positive Benefits of Laughter and Humor

A good "sense" of humor and laughter can trigger both short and long-term health benefits, increasing overall wellbeing.

“With the fearful strain that is on me night and day,
if I did not laugh, I should die.” ~ Abraham Lincoln, 1865

Immediate Benefits of Humor and Laughter:

• Increases respiration, heart rate, muscular activity



• Triggers increased oxygenation & circulation
• Releases endorphins in the brain
• Eases tension, makes one feel more "relaxed"

Long-Term Benefits of Humor and Laughter

• Boosts immune system--positive thoughts release neuropeptides (fight stress)
• Relieves pain--reduces tension, prevents muscle spasms, releases body's natural pain killers
• Improves mood--hard to "dwell in darkness" when you're smiling and laughing!
• Strengthens your relationships with others--people are attracted to happy, fun, positive people

"Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone." ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Remember to "Lighten Up"

• Mixing humor into the workplace is a social skill.
• Consider timing, audience, and intent. Be prepared to follow-up whether you "fly" or "fail"
• Never use humor to gain power, bully, or tear-down
• People appreciate positive, "bonding" humor over aggressive humor
• Humor should bring people together or smooth the way during disagreement
• Constructive criticism is delivered better with a smile than a frown
• Don't take yourself too seriously....humor can keep you afloat!
• Collaboration and cooperation are strengthened by shared humor and laughter
