The new "Against Our Will Challenge,"
featuring a $10,000 prize furnished by LexisNexis Legal & Professional,
calls on college students nationwide to imagine innovative digital tools that
raise awareness of modern-day slavery, while encouraging action to help stop
the human rights atrocity. The winning individual - or team of up to five people
- will be recognized with the $10,000 prize and have the chance to work with
mtvU and LexisNexis Legal & Professional to see the idea actualized as a
core element of the "mtvU Against Our Will Campaign." For more information, click here.

SURF Proposals
The SURF Proposal Writing Workshop is coming up on February 9th, 2012. Not sure about a literature review? Can't find a journal article? Looking for background on a potential mentor? Your house librarian can help. See the post on the database Web of Science, too.
Web of Science
Web of Science is one of over 200 databases the library subscribes to. It is extremely powerful, and a terrific source for journal articles. If you are curious to learn about the research a faculty member has done, this is a good place to start. Say you'd like to read up a bit on the work of Rudy A. Marcus, the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry and the winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. On the Web of Science search page, enter his name in a search box, and select "author." Then enter 91125, Caltech's zipcode, in another search box, and select "address." You should come up with 255 hits; if you don't, see your house librarian.
