Use the concepts or keywords that you developed for your topic on the Choosing a Topic worksheet. Type those key concepts into the search box and connect the concepts with the word and . This will tell the computer that you want only articles that have all these concepts in the title or abstract. You can see that different combinations of search terms yield different results. You want to pick articles that support or add information to the topic of your paper.
Some articles are full-text , which means that the article is in the computer.
You can use full-text articles for this assignment. This means we own this magazine and you should be able to find the issue of this magazine or journal in our library. If the articles that you are selecting are not full-text, you will need to find the paper copy of the journal in our library. To do this, you will need to search the journal or magazine title in the Catalog and get the call number of the journal. If you are in the library, go to the Reference Desk on the main floor of either the Main or the Science Library and ask for help - the reference staff will be happy to show you how to locate the journals that have the articles you need.
