9/25 Hi Brandy,

This is a good start. Be sure to watch the video in our Canvas Eng 2 course in Week 5 Introduction, so you can also see how to create the log of your work. Also, these references need to be in MLA format. Readers can't just click on the Ebsco link because it's a database only available to Butte College students. Keep researching Seymore and making notes HERE about how you're going to update the page, okay?

10/4- Where is your work Log? (I've created you a heading; please fill in what days you've worked on this and for how long.) Be sure to put references in MLA format so readers can tell what the source is. Also, copy and paste the part of the article you're going to be improving, okay?

I looked at the persons page you suggested which looked very organized but I didn't start off right so I know mine will definitely be different but I am trying. Thank you for the pointers. ~

10/16- You are on the right track. What did you find on Biography in Context through Butte's library?

10-21-18 I deleted what ever I had found previously on the Butte Colleges Library Site because I thought you said that wasn't available for people who aren't students at Butte. I am looking into the information from Tia Germar. Thank you for suggesting her help for me that was very thoughtful and I really needed it.

Comments from Tia Germar (Librarian)
1016- I found a few articles that could be useful to you in the library's Proquest database: https://butte.libguides.com/proquest On the search screen type "Dawn Seymour" (including the quotation marks) into the first search box. There were about 5-6 articles listed that mentioned Dawn's name in them, some of them hardly mention her name but might still give you some info. Just briefly looking, it looks like the articles found in Proquest are not already listed in the reference list of the Wikipedia article, so you will be able to add them.

Regarding this source: https://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/oral_histories/NASA_HQ/Aviatrix/SeymourD/Seymourd_7-19-99.htm I think this website will be a good source to use. However, it is already listed on the reference list (it looks like it is referenced in a different format than the website though), but there is much more information you could add from that website. Primary sources such as these can be used in Wikipedia articles with caution, but are especially useful in articles about a person so I would say this website would be a good addition. Because it is from NASA and it is her own words, I find it to be reliable information.

10-21-18 Thank you for taking the time to help me, I greatly appreciate your guidance and suggestions.
