Also, if someone could answer this question for me, I would appreciate,

How exactly does my professor expect me to write a paper on the current culture of London when all the books in the library were published in 1964?

I suppose in the end that this, like many others, is a question I will just have to accept not knowing the answer to. It is a question that college has actually supplied me with, rather than answering.

It's actually part of a set which includes, 'Why can't I cite wikipedia when you and I both know it's the only real source in this paper?' and 'Why can half of Europe be on the same currency, but my school uses MLA, APA, and Chicago style citation?'
