Almost immediately\u00a0upon entering we\u00a0were introduced\u00a0to\u00a0one of the librarians, Laura.

However, before we embark on these great academic quests, Santiago assigned us a smaller paper to help prepare us. The assignment is to analyze a primary source paper that pertains to the topic our future research paper will be about.
