Ina Seethaler - English 190 Section 9

Hi All,
Sorry to be late in posting to the blog. I only received a few questions on the one-minute papers.
Below are answers to the questions. Please contact me if you have any questions about libraries, databases, or any information needs.
Good luck with the rest of the semester,
Martha allenmh@slu.edu 314-977-3596

1. How do I receive journals that are in the library?
Great question - Print journal titles can be found in a number of places in the library. You will need to retrieve the journal yourself and photocopy the pages you need. Current journal issues are located in the lower level. Journal issues in microfilm are also found in the lower level. There are two microfilm/microfiche reader printers in the lower level. A student worker staffs a help desk in the lower level to provide assistance in locating, loading, and printing microfilm. Older issues of print journals are found in the general circulating collection on floors 2-5. The call number of the journal is needed to access all print journals and can be found by searching the Saint Louis Libraries Catalog.

2. Unclear about automatic citing.
A number of databases have internal citation creation tools. Unfortunately each database vendor has its own tool. For Academic Search Premier please refer to the video tutorial #4 located on the right hand margin.
