What is there to find in Ellie's cubicle? 9 hints left

Hint 1

The first time you go through Ellie's cubicle, there are four things to find on the left side of her desk and one on the right side. You can ignore the computer, unless you just like looking at programming language.

Hint 2

On top of the desk at the left is a copy of Mark Twain's book, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Open it to read a couple pages of this very funny book, but the part you need is the scrap of paper on the third page. You can't take it with you, so you might want to take a picture of it for later.

Hint 3

Inside the desk drawer are three items you should take: a small key, which you'll use in the photo lab --

Hint 4

-- a small media card labeled "Journal - Late Fall" that can be played on the digital recorder on Niko's desk, once you get it working --

Hint 5

-- and a piece of paper that will help you get into the control booth in the Tesla coil lab.

Hint 6

On the right side of the desk, there's a letter on the bulletin board you can read, though you don't need to. There's also a box of little pastel cylinders that Nancy says are capacitors. Well, let's just take her word for it. You'll need them to get the Tesla coil working again.

Hint 7

That's all there is here at this point, but you should remember to come back to Ellie's cubicle after you get trapped in the photo lab.

Hint 8

At that time, you'll find something new on the right side of the desk --

Hint 9

-- a piece of paper that seems to be a list of books. This relates to the bookcase in the staff lounge.
