Scavenging
I knew I needed a plan for this time-limited search so I tried to break the list into categories for my search knowing that I would be instantly stuck if I went sequentially.
I started with the quotes, especially the ones that could be eliminated via Google:
#2--this was a basic google-likely suspect so I tried "when all the women wanted it" & "1915" and found http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Bistro/8066/ADMsuffrage.html
#3--"george Washington" & letters on google led me to the LOC where you can search all the text so a search for "certain forged letters" led to http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/mgw:@field(DOCID+@lit(gw350298))
#4--I could only find a speech Willie Lynch reportedly delivered at http://www.msu.edu/~leonr/WillieLynch.htm by searching “willie lynch” & slave & speech
At this point I've used half my time so I moved over to JSTOR to find the articles
#6 was easy to find searching for the title: http://mutex.gmu.edu:2112/view/00130117/di011851/01p0056j/0?currentResult=00130117%2bdi011851%2b01p0056j%2b0%2cFFFFFF07&searchUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jstor.org%2Fsearch%2FBasicResults%3Fhp%3D25%26si%3D1%26Query%3DAnnual%2BReview%2Bof%2BInformation%2BTechnology%2BDevelopments%2Bfor%2BEconomic%2Band%2BSocial%2BHistorians%252C%2B1993
#10--thought that would be in JSTOR; no luck so I tried a long shot by entering the whole entry into google and voila http://www.indiana.edu/~jah/textbooks/2001/article.shtml
Since I was back in google, I looked for #7-- the 4 syllabi by entering the book name and limiting the search results to .edu only: http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~karlberg/350/350.html http://www.uky.edu/Classes/Media/schedule.html
http://www.govst.edu/uploadedFiles/ART500A.doc
http://www.accd.edu/pac/communic/Denise/Comm2324.htm
Without much time left I moved onto #8--archive.org was the most direct where I entered the site name and limited it to 1998: http://web.archive.org/web/1998-re_/http://chnm.gmu.edu
I ended up going over a bit to find the Janet Murray and Sims pics because I tried to load a pdf file...apparently I need to update my reader but ended up finding http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~g.legrady/academic/courses/03w200a/dataDriven/index.html by "janet murray" & "the sims" & images
So not including the pdf debacle for murray/sims, I found 7 items in 30 minutes.
