LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of class, students will be able to:

1) Search for articles and web sites on their topic using relevant keywords.
2) Brainstorm a number of different synonyms to represent various concepts.
3) Evaluate websites for quality.
4) Leave class with at least one relevant article or website.

The following databases provide the full-text of articles from magazines and journals:

EBSCO - MasterFile Select

Electric Library

InfoTrac OneFile

Wilson Select

If you find an article that you like and it isn't available full-text on the computer, you can see if the Library subscribes to the periodical that it came from by looking in ALEX, our online catalog.

If we don't own the periodical, we can ask another library to send us the article. Click here to fill out a form.
