If you need assistance, contact the Sladen Information Desk . For current information, investigate journal sources or sources on the Internet. Books can provide an in-depth or historical study of a topic. Reference books such as dictionaries or encyclopedias can give concise information. Identify keywords and major concepts.
Journals provide the most current information on a subject.
Access to specific journal articles is provided by use of indexes. These indexes can be found in two forms - either print volumes located on the index tables near the journal stacks or bibliographic databases which can be searched using the computers located near the Information Desk or over the Internet. The Index Table is located near the journal stacks in the Sladen Library. You may run your own search over the Internet or you can submit a Literature Search Request Form and have one of the Sladen Library's Information Specialists run the search for you. The journals are located in the Journal Stack area on the east side of the Library.
