Let's say you found the following citation in a database, but the full text is not provided:
"A Comparison of Methods for Teaching Critical Thinking Skills for U.S. Army Officers."
Schumm, Walter R.; Webb, Farrell J.; Turek, David E.; Jones, Kenneth D.; Ballard, Glenn E.. American Journal of Distance Education, Mar2006, Vol. 20 Issue 1, p39-50, 12p.
Don't assume that because you are using one of our databases, we have every article listed. Databases don't tell you whether the Libraries have a particular journal, but, they do give you all the information you need to find the article:
- Journal title
- Volume and date
- Starting page
With this information, you can search the Libraries' Catalog to see:
- Whether the Libraries currently subscribe to the journal
- Whether the Libraries have back issues, including the one you need
Search the Libraries' Catalog
Let's See What You Get
The good news is we do have this
journal at the University Libraries! But does the library own the issue of the journal that you need?
Don't get confused by the first date you see on the top of the screen (c 1987). That is the date the
journal began publishing. Look further down the record to see the Libraries' holdings.
|
The dates listed next to "Recent Issues" and "Library Has" indicate the years
during which the Libraries subscribed to that journal. If you look next
to "Recent Issues" you can see the latest
issue(s) of the journal from the current year.
Also be sure to look closely at the "Location" field. This will show you
which of the UA Libraries has the journal you're looking for. In this case,
the journal is located at the Education Library (McLure).
