lower east side librarian

I'm wondering how others feel about teaching MLA to first year English students. In the past in my library research class (about 70 minutes) I showed MLA, LION, and ProQuest (substitute your favorite multidisciplinary database if your institution doesn't have PQ). Now I'm thinking of killing MLA in favor of JSTOR. (I'd still keep MLA on my subject and research guides, but just not give 7 of my precious minutes to it in class.) ...

I heart Wikimedia Commons. It's my first and usually only-stop shopping for "freely usable media files" when I'm making webpages for the library research classes I teach. (Not all the course guides listed on the previous link were made by me.) ...
