Using databases to find articles

What Happens Next?
The Libraries, through Web Retrieve, will find the article you requested. Then, they will send you a link to the PDF version of the article in your email. Save this copy to your computer or device. It is available online for only 2 weeks.
How long does it take to get the PDF?
Maybe 2 to 4 days . . . Usually sooner than later.
So, we’ve looked at two databases:
1. Sports Discus2. PUBMED
We’ve cited them, read them, and looked at the references at the back of the journals the authors used to write the articles. Also, we looked at the journals that have cited the titles we selected to look at. We even “ordered” the full text of an article that was not available at KU using Inter-Library-Loan, WebRetrieve.
Google Scholar

HTML or PDF? HTML gives you live links to the resources mentioned in the articles—References.

HTML
What did we just do?Google Scholar offered a choice of HTML or PDF of the article we selected and we looked at the References from each version of the same article. HTML had live links to resources and PDF did not. PDF is like a mirror of the paper journal and HTML is a mirror of linked resources found on the computer.
E-Journals

Books

What if a print book is available and you want it sent over to the Edwards Campus?
You will receive this book in 2 to 3 days (approximately) and will get an email when it arrives at the Edwards Campus Library.
We welcome you to the library!
