How to Find Articles: |
| Find the article databases: |
|
1. Go to the Library website: library.ncwc.edu |
|
2. Click on the Find Articles link. |
|
3. Find article databases that are relevant to your topic or
subject. |
|
| Search for article(s): |
1. The article databases do not understand complete sentences. Decide what keyword terms might best describe your topic.
|
2. Type your keywords into the search box. If you do not receive any "hits", use a thesaurus to find different words or phrases that might also describe your topic.
Example: Your paper on "deforestation in the Brazilian
jungle" might generate keywords like "Brazil", "jungle" and
"deforestation." But you might also need to try synonyms
like "Amazon," "rainforest," and "logging."
|
|
3. To save time, read article abstracts to determine if the article fits your topic. |
|
| Printing, emailing, or saving articles: |
- Once you have found the right article(s), you may print it on a computer lab printer, email it to your
Yahoo, AOL, or My NCWC account (and then print it at home), or save the article to a disk
or USB drive (and print at home).
|
- Each article record contains a Print, Email, and Save link at the top of the record.
