Citation Hints

• Things To Look Out For
• Format? Every format has a slightly different
  style for citation. Make sure youre correct.
• If you have a periodical of some kind, is it a
  magazine, journal or a newspaper?
• Is your article full text or not? Full text
  article citations are slightly different than
  those that are print only.

Periodical Indexes

• Help us find articles in magazines, journals and
  newspapers. They can be general or specialized,
  and they come in different formats such as print,
  electronic, or microfilm
• Whatever the details, indexes all share the same
  purpose, which is to help users find articles on
  a particular topic, articles by a particular
  author, or articles about another publication
  such as reviews, criticism or analysis

Periodical Indexes Three Types

• General Index Directory of articles covering
  multiple topics
• Magazine Index Directory of every article
  published in that periodical for the covered
  period
• Subject Index Directory of articles covering a
  particular topic or field, such as engineering or
  nursing

Dont Dismiss The Print

• What if
• We lose our connection to the databases and you
  have a paper due before we get them back?
• The information you need goes back so far that
  our electronic databases dont cover it?
• The electronic version of the database you need
  is just too expensive for the library youre
  using?
