3. We need to know this:
(1) How to use databases to find articles
(2) How to request full text articles if we find only abstracts
(WebRetrieve)
(3) How to request articles the library does NOT have
(4) How to use Google Scholar from the list of library
databases
(5) How to find books using the online catalog and request
delivery to Edwards Campus

16. What Happens Next?
The Libraries, through Web Retrieve, will find the article
you requested. Then, they will send you a link to the PDF
version of the article in your email. Save this copy to your
computer or device. It is available online for only 2 weeks.
How long does it take to get the PDF?
Maybe 2 to 4 days . . . Usually sooner than later.

27. So, we’ve looked at two databases:
1. Sports Discus
2. PUBMED
We’ve cited them, read them, and looked at the
references at the back of the journals the authors used
to write the articles. Also, we looked at the journals that
have cited the titles we selected to look at. We even
“ordered” the full text of an article that was not
available at KU using Inter-Library-Loan, WebRetrieve.
40. What did we just do?
Google Scholar offered a choice of HTML or PDF of the article we
selected and we looked at the References from each version of the
same article. HTML had live links to resources and PDF did not. PDF is
like a mirror of the paper journal and HTML is a mirror of linked
resources found on the computer.
We need to know this:
(1) Use databases to find peer reviewed articles (2) Request full text articles from abstracts and have them delivered to your email(3) Find books using the online catalog and request delivery to Regents Center Library (4) Use Web 2.0 effectively for class assignments and literature searches (5) Use Google Scholar from the list of library databases (6) Find academic articles using Search Engines
