Library
Databases
Note about
Proquest:
Proquest is one of many databases the FAU Libraries
subscribes to, accessible via
Blackboard for this
course without any further login.
The following additional databases
also index articles and article citations in subject areas
relevant to counseling. To access any of them from
off-campus, one must first log into the library's system via
the
EZ-Proxy web page.
Finding Journal Articles
What if I find an
article citation without full-text? You can use SFX,
but here's a step-by-step guide to the larger process of
looking for journal articles:
Step 1:
Database
(i.e., Proquest,
PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, etc.)
Step 2:
Electronic Journals
-
Only got a
citation from that database? Use either SFX or
individual browser windows to search in Electronic
Journals by the JOURNAL TITLE (i.e., Journal of
Counseling and Development). If the results indicate
that we subscribe to the year your article was
published, you can browse by year, volume, and then
issue number to pull up the article. For instance, we do
subscribe to the journal online from 1984 to the present
in Academic Search Premier (also in Proquest, for a
slightly smaller range of years).
-
What if you need
an article, and we don't subscribe electronically to the
needed journal for the year you need? Proceed to
Step 3, because we might have it in print.
Step 3:
Catalog
-
If you searched in a database, and
checked our online holdings in Electronic Journals, and
were not able to get the article online, try the
Catalog. It might be on the shelf. Search by
"Journal/Magazine Title Search" (i.e., Journal of
Counseling and Development). Click on the "library has"
link to make sure we have the year/volume you need. If
we do, write down that Call Number (i.e.,
HF5381.A1 O45) next to the citation. You
can pull it off the shelf upstairs and make a copy.
-
Big Tip: Need to make
copies in the library? Avoid copier fees by using the
library's KIC Scanning Machine. You may scan journal
articles, class notes, images, etc and print, burn, or
save to a jump drive, all for FREE. For burning, the CD
is provided by the machine.
-
What if the library doesn't own the article
electronically OR in print? Assuming you have at
least a week to obtain the article, proceed to Step 3.
Step 4:
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
Organize Your Citations With RefWorks
Now that I have all these
articles and article citations, how do
I keep track of them? The library has a resource
called
RefWorks.
With RefWorks, users can create their own personal database
by importing references from online databases. They can use
these references in writing their papers and automatically
format the paper and the bibliography in seconds.
