When you are searching for information, your search takes one of two paths. You are searching for a 'known item' or an 'unknown item.'
A known item is any part of a citation: an author, title, etc. A bibliography would contain a list of 'known items.'
If you are searching for an unknown item, you need information about something, like attachment theory, and you are looking for citations on this topic.
How can you tell the difference between a citation for a book and an article?
A BOOK citation generally has a place of publication: New York, London, Chicago, Grand Rapids & a publisher.
An article or a CHAPTER in a BOOK has the word "In" followed by the editor, title of book, etc.
An ARTICLE citation has a volume number (and/or issue number), and a date.
Using the bibliography...search the library's collections to see if we have the book or full text of the article.
1. Determine whether the citation is for a book or article
2. See if the College Library has the item.
- Search for a book or ebook in the library catalog using the book title.
- Search for an article (print or electroinc format) using the periodical title in the library's Journal Finder. If you find the peridical in the directory, make sure the date range of coverage includes the year needed by the citation.
- If you can not find the book in the library catalog or the journal title, consider using Interlibrary Loan.
