The idea behind the seminar is not to gather information - gathering information is a relic of the past, where students were expected to trawl through libraries to read all the books their hallowed guides thought were relevant. Now, thankfully, we live in an environment where information is available. I suppose I could ignore that it is available to you and pretend to be suitably surprised when you turn out millions of pages of perfectly relevant text. But a better strategy is to take the information and THINK about it in a new way (not package it in a new way). That is what I am interested in - how one thinks about all the information one has?
