Journal Databases Activity: Answer Template
The following questions comprise an activity you will complete in Week Two. It is a kind of “scavenger hunt” for information. There is no single correct answer to most of these questions.
PART ONE: REVIEW BASIC NU LIBRARY INFO
How would you access the National University library?
If you have a specific question for a reference librarian, what is the quickest way to get help?
Under the heading “Resources & Collections” on the library home page, which link(s) will take you to resources for this course, ILR260?
What link(s) will take you from the NU Library home page to request books or journal articles for which the library does not provide ready access or have within its own collection?
PART TWO: TRY SMARTSEARCH
What is your own current research question?
What are some search terms you might use to begin searching for articles that will help you answer your question?
Try using SmartSearch; find one peer-reviewed journal article that seems potentially useful to your project.
Access the full text—and take a screenshot to demonstrate that you succeeded in accessing the full text.
PART THREE: TRY PROQUEST -OR- EBSCO (YOUR CHOICE)
What search terms are you using?
Formulate a search using OR or NOT (or both).
Generate a citation for one peer-reviewed article that seems possibly relevant to your research project.
PART FOUR: USE ONE SOURCE TO FIND ANOTHER
Use Google Scholar to find an article that cites an article you’ve previously found and to generate a citation for that article.
PART FIVE:PRACTICE KNOWN-ITEM SEARCHING
Gather beginning-of-full-text screenshots for the following four articles:
