BLOGQUIZ #1

See if you can answer the following questions:

A patron asks for Jane's Defence Weekly, v. 42, no. 46 (2005 November 16). What do you tell him?

A patron is looking for an article from 2001 by George Gilboy. She knows we have it because she has read the article before, but she doesn't remember where the article appears. It deals with China. What do you tell her?

On what date did the Times (of London) first mention Abraham Lincoln? To which political party did the paper say he belonged?
[update] This question is flawed. Don't worry about finding the FIRST reference - just find a reference to Abraham Lincoln from the 1860s.

These might take some thought. You can utilize ANY resource in answering these questions, so keep that in mind. The quickest to answer all three questions will win exciting prizes*. Don't post the answers in the comments section - instead e-mail them to me and Harvey. If you need clarification on any question, let me know. I'll announce the winners next week, after everyone gets a chance to try the questions. Have fun.






*Ok, not really. But give it a try anyway.
