2. Part 1. Finding Technical Books and Government Documents Using LibCat
1.1 Use LibCat to find a book or government document on your assigned
pollutant. Write the title of the publication in Part 1.1. If there are too
many items listed, narrow the subject or keyword search with terms like
pollution or environment. The truncation symbol ? can be used to help
broaden the search.
Example search: Keyword = benzene AND pollut?
LibCat searches generally rank results in a relevancy order; use the pull-
down menu to change to a ranking by date to examine recent works.
3. Part 1. Finding Technical Books and Government Documents Using LibCat
1.2 Obtain a Location Guide from the Evans Library Ask Us Desk or
other service desk. Look for your book or document in the library, and
circle its location on the Location Guide to show where you found the
item.
Example: QD’s on 4th floor, or government documents on the
5th floor of the Sterling C. Evans Library Annex.
Attach the Location Guide and a print out of the LibCat record for the
item to the Data Reduction and Analysis worksheet. If the item is
electronic and if there is no call number associated with the
item then choose another publication.
1.3 Use the LibCat record for the publication recorded in part 1.1 to
answer the following questions on the worksheet form: Was the item
checked out, or on the shelf? What is the call number? What is
the format?

10. Library Module 2: Tools for Searching the Professional Journal Literature
For this exercise, you will be using one or more of the major databases
often used by undergraduates. These databases allow you to quickly
locate articles on a topic. Using a database is much quicker than
searching individual journals.
When communicating with other professionals, you need to give them all
the information they will need to find the article for themselves. Proper
citation form becomes important. The following exercises will show you
the way to arrange the information that identifies the book or journal
article in proper citation form.
11. Library Module 2: Tools for Searching the Professional Journal Literature
2.1 Use Web of Science, Environmental Sciences & Pollution Management,
or Academic Search Complete to find a scientific article published in the last five
years on your assigned pollutant. Please note that you can limit by date in these
databases. You can also limit by type of material: book, articles, and conference
proceedings. You will limit your search to articles.
Example keyword search: benzene and pollut* (notice that for this database the
truncation symbol has changed to an *.)
Print the first page of the article, if the full text is available online. If not, print the
citation, with abstract if available, from the database. Attach your printout to the
back of this page. If the library does not subscribe to the online version of the
journal, use LibCat to determine if the print version of the article is available on
campus. Be sure to verify that the library owns the particular volume by looking at
the list of volumes found at the bottom of the LibCat record. If the University
Libraries subscribe to the journal, list the call number.
2.2 Provide the bibliographic citation you would need to cite the article in a
paper—journal articles should be cited using the following format:
Authors separated by semicolons, Article Title, Journal name in italics,
Year in bold, Volume in italics, Page numbers.
Example: E. J. Mawk; M. Hyman; M. W. Rowe. Re-examination of Ancient DNA in
Texas Rock Paintings. Journal of Archaeological Science 2002, 29, 301-306.
