My supervisor just sent me off to look for 'comics' and 'trade journals'. What does she mean?! I presume she doesnt mean Beano. The libarian looked confused when I asked him for a comic!!

'The Dandy Guide to Statistics'?

'The Comic Book Adventures of StatMan'?

what is your subject area? If social sciences, chances are she means go and have a look at the popular press in your area - an excuse to go to WH SMith or Borders if you ask me!

Area is medical sociology. Hmm. going to go and chat up the librarian again
