    This slide only shows the first 7 of 18 steps so here are the 18 that scroll by to the tune of Supertramp’s Take the Long Way Home.

    Finding Journal Articles / Legal Info
    #1. Go to Library home page
    #2. Where is the link to online legal info …?
    #3. Guess which link to click to find x
    #4. Dozens of databases in an A-Z list
    “What were they thinking?” 
    #5. “Which one should I try? What does this stuff mean? HeinOnline, LegalTrac, Decisions on CanLII, Index to Legal Periodicals & Books”
    #6. “I have no idea what database to pick.”
    #7. “Where is LegalTrac– I’ve used that before.”
    #8. Okay, picked it but does it have “online” stuff?
    #9. Enter some keywords.
    #10. Cross fingers, feel lucky.
    #11. No results aaargh! OR 1000 results …
    #12. “Why can’t I limit to Sask/scholarly?”
    #13. Sift through the results one by one.
    #14. Here’s a result that could work! 
    #15. Click on “Find It” – “aarrgh” no full text
    #16. Try again – Yes - this could work!
    #17. If lucky, repeat #9-#11 till done.
    #18. Otherwise, repeat #4 to #11 till done.
