How do I sort my data in an excel spreadsheet by date?

Go to the Data tab and click "sort". A box will pop up for you to select which column you would like to sort and by what value.

Can you help me find some resources on the history of book collections and libraries?

I would start by accessing a historical database like Gale or Ebsco and searching the terms "ancient libraries".

Where can I find examples of gender identity in literature?

Virginia Wolfe is an author who is famous for her feminist writing and discusses the flexibility of sexuality and gender in her books. I recommend looking at "Orlando". Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte also looks into gender roles and the limitation put on women at the time. Shakespeare is also a great place to look for references to gender identity. His comedies like "A Midsummer's Nights Dream" and "Much Ado about Nothing" feature men dressing up as women and vise versa in order to get out of sticky situations.
