Fun and Games with the KSU VPN and Online Searches

Well, tonight I spent about 1 1/2 hours on the phone with 672-HELP. After having to re-install the VPN, then running into issues logging into OhioLINK, I have finally hit a wall with a log in for something called MetaLib. I proceeded to throw in the towel for the evening and email Vanessa Earp.

The good news is that in the academic searches thus far I've not encountered much on teaching inference through silent films and wordless animated shorts. This is not an unknown practice, so I wonder if I just need to refine my search terms. I tried "teaching inference" and "film" - about 47 hits, 2-3 of which seem to lead somewhere. I also tried "silent films" and "teaching inference" - no hits. Finally I tried "silent films" and "making inferences" - no hits. So any thoughts on how I might tweak my search terms would be appreciated.
