The book is available in The Valley Library at the Reference Desk, or you may choose to purchase a copy at a bookstore. Videos are also listed in Oasis by title. If you live on campus or in Corvallis or within 20 miles of Corvallis, please come to the Valley Library to check out the books you find in our catalog. You also may view the videos in the library using VCR's available in the building. If you aren't finding an article of interest on your topic by leafing through recent issues of a magazine, you will find it helpful to use a periodical index.
Most periodical indexes cover a few hundred periodicals.
So doing a search on a topic in a periodical index can be the equivalent of leafing through a few hundred magazines simultaneously looking for the occurence of a word or phrase. The computer does that part of the work for you. Two recommended periodical index for this assignment are Academic Index and Education Abstracts which are available for OSU students via the Web.
