Ways to Identify Journal Articles
These databases are linked with Article Linker, which allows you to automatically check URSUS for electronic and/or print subscriptions.
Interlibrary Loan - use for journal articles we do not have access to
Should You Use Google?
Sure, but remember it's important to treat Internet resources as you would any other information resource. Critical evaluation of the site is absolutely necessary, i.e. who has made changes to that Wikipedia article, and can you trust that they know what they are talking about. Thinking Critically about World Wide Web Resources, by Esther Grassian, UCLA College Library, can help you evaluate web pages.
Citing Sources
It is very important to cite words and/or ideas you take straight from another work and put into your paper. In this class, you need to use the American Psychological Association style guide, which we have at the Help Desk in Fogler Library.
