BSA303, library research suggestions, 27 March, 2017

library tour and research discussion
Ruth is away for two weeks defending her thesis
I should do my research in the teacher reference center and health database
interloan tab is on library website
Artstor database- images
film and television literature database-access from home
Ebsco portal
CINAHL/complete database- nursing
check out Sesame Street's Little Children, Big Challenges series
when searching, put phrase in quotes, scroll through left side to select parameters
linked full text to see them on screen
read abstract before interloaning (IL is expensive! Do not do so lightly!)
click cite to have journal written up in APA which can then be dropped into references (put it in word as made, not as current fil set up to preserve APA formatting)
Jstor-academic texts and general resources (limited availability, but some IL options)
ACM DL digital library
www.nzresearch.org.nz for research done by unis
look for thesis on my topic and see their book list
prepare key word search before searching so you can experiment with searches
look at University of Otago's online catalogue
Have a look at school catalogues that might be doing media studies
Blackboard has request form, too, for IL
reference it immediately in APA so you don't lose info
Adobe Suite cheap for staff?  Student discounts, too?
