Can't find my own stuff!
Somewhere someone (was it Denise?) asked how many sources you should be working with. (Anybody remember where my answer is?) My generic answer is that it depends on what your work is. If you're doing a lit survey, you should consider having 5-10 books; or 20-25 articles & essays; or some combination of the two. If you're doing textual analysis (of methodologies, etc.), your number may be larger. Or smaller. It depends! Pitch your list, and I'll respond to you individually, letting you know if I think you should be doing less or more.

Hi Becky. So then I can do a lit. survey concerning Spanglish? That would be terrific! If I do a lit survey, can I still use the books that deal with Spanglish as a language? That would be an interesting project!
