| Locating books and other materials |
BOOKS IN THE UWP LIBRARY:
Use the Library
Catalog to identify and locate books owned
by this Library.
Start with a simple or guided
search using keywords (And/Or/Not). Carefully
review the records you retrieve. What alternative
keywords do you find? What subject headings are
used for this topic? Revise your search, incorporating
keywords you come across, especially those in
subject headings. As you do more research, it
will get easier because you will learn to let
what you find help you find additional sources.
The hardest part is always the beginning of a
search for information on a new topic, so do not
get frustrated if you do not get immediate results.
For Help Constructing Search Statements, See the Following:
Boolean Operators: Using AND, Using OR, Using NOT
Other Search Tips: Phrase Searching, Wildcards, Truncation, Parentheses
Complex Search Statements: Complex Searching
REQUESTING
BOOKS FROM OTHER LIBRARIES IN THE UW SYSTEM:
No
library has every book that will prove useful
to your research! Because all of the libraries
in the University of Wisconsin System (UWS) have
cooperative borrowing agreements, it is easy and
to request books from other UWS libraries. Search
for books in other UW libraries using the "MultiLibrary
Search" link at the top of the Library
Catalog screen.
If
you want to borrow any of these items you retrieve,
click on the Patron Requests link at the
top of the screen. The system will prompt your
through the borrowing process. Make sure your
have/know your RangerCard number (the P# on the
bottom of your ID card). Items usually arrive
within three working days (Monday through Friday)
at the UW-Parkside Check-out Desk. Click on the
Patron Record link to check on the status
of your requests. Be advised that while most campuses
will also lend audio/video items, UW-Madison sometimes
will not.
For
a step-by-step look at requesting items from other
UW libraries, see our tutorial here.
REQUESTING BOOKS FROM LIBRARIES
OUTSIDE OF THE UW SYSTEM:
Although it is fastest to retrieve
a book from another UW System library, you are
not limited to books from these libraries. There
is another system, called Interlibrary
Loan, which permits patrons at any library
in the country to request books from any other
library. Although most libraries participate in
this exchange, a few do not. To receive items
not available from another UW system library,
you'll need to place an Interlibrary Loan Request.
You can place a request online. The Interlibrary
Loan office will notify you via your Parkside
email account when your items are available for
pickup. You can pick up your books at the Circulation
Desk. These books MUST be returned to the Interlibrary
loan window, not with other books to the circulation
desk.
Please note: all article requests
must be placed through Interlibrary Loan.
For a step-by-step look at using
the Interlibrary loan system, see our tutorial
here.

| Locating journal articles |
One of the best
places to find current material on any given subject is
in scholarly or peer reviewed journals. Peer reviewed journals
are different than popular magazines in a number of ways.
In particular peer reviewed journals:
- discuss research in detail
- include a substantial bibliography
- are written for, and by, scholars
- are "peer reviewed" (approved
by experts in the field)
Step
1:
Use an index to find citations to journal articles on
your topic.
The periodical indexes listed below will
help you find citations to journal articles and other
publications. You may search for articles by subject headings,
keywords, or by author. Note that many citations are NOT
full-text.
Art
Full Text Coverage of basic journals in the fields
of the visual arts, architecture, art history, archeology,
computer graphics, interior design, and industrial design.
Humanities
Full Text covers articles in core journals in
the humanities, including archeology, film, classics,
folklore, linguistics, music, performing arts, philosophy,
religion, world history, and world literature.
Other useful indexes and online resources
for this assignment:
Academic
Search Complete is a comprehensive scholarly,
multi-disciplinary full-text database, with more than
6,100 full-text periodicals, including more than 5,100
peer-reviewed journals. In addition to full text, this
database offers indexing and abstracts for more than
10,100 journals and a total of more than 10,600 publications
including monographs, reports, conference proceedings,
etc. The database features PDF content going back as
far as 1887, with the majority of full text titles in
native (searchable) PDF format. Searchable cited references
are provided for more than 1,000 journals. Restrict
your search to scholarly journals by selecting the Advanced
Search option and limiting your search to Peer-reviewed
journals.
JSTOR
Access is provided to two JSTOR collections.
The Arts & Sciences I Collection and Arts &
Sciences II Collection.
Historical
Abstracts is a complete reference guide to the
history of the world from 1450 excluding the United
States and Canada. Over 2000 journals are covered.
Off-campus access: These databases are
licensed by the Library for the use of the University's
students, faculty, and staff, and most can be accessed
from off-campus. If you are asked for a password when
trying to access a database, consult this page for more information.
Step 2: If you have a citation to an
article, does the Library own the journal?
After you've found a citation to a journal article in
which you're interested, click the FindIt! button
to see if the library has the journal in either print
or electronic form.
Conversely, you can check the UWP Periodicals
List to see if the Library subscribes to the journal in
either print or electronic format.

When
preparing a project, follow the recommendation of your
instructor when you cite the sources you have used. Your
instructor requires the format style described in these
publications and Web sites:

(Reference Desk LB2369 .T8 1996) presents the "Chicago
style" for formatting papers and references.
UWP Quick Turabian's Reference Guide This
guide from our Library provides a quick overview on
Turabian style reference listsbibliographies, works
cited sheets, and in-text parenthetical citations.
