Home: Introduction to Slavic Folklore

Welcome to the Research Guide to Slavic Folklore! This guide is designed to help students with research about Slavic Folklore, and more specifically, the research assignment for the course.  Another purpose of the assignment is to teach students information management. When you complete the exercise, you will: (1) Know more about the library and its resources, human and material; (2) Better understand how to locate needed materials in a variety of formats; and (3) Be able to evaluate and choose the best materials. The research exercise consists of three components: an internet research tutorial, library sessions with accompanying worksheets, and a research assignment. For more help, contact Jon Giullian. Happy Researching! (Image: Ivan Tsarevich and the Firebird; in the public domain.)
