for journals
Increasingly some journals are becoming available for use on the internet.
Some publishers have created databases of these online journals, available
for a subscription fee to libraries. Check the Brock Library Catalogue under
the heading Databases
to access some of these. A small number of these databases also include
entire articles online (rather than simply references to the articles in journal
titles). This is referred to as full-text. For a list of these full-text databases
at Brock go to Full-text
list.
Internet searching
Some journal articles may be available directly on the internet but this is
an exception rather than the rule. Internet searching, using standard search
engines may be of some general use to you for background material on your
topic, but web searching is NOT generally reliable for scholarly research.
Journal articles are not usually available for free using the internet. Some
excellent guides to using the internet for research include: the teaching
library internet workshops guide at the University of California, Berkeley,
and the
webwizard guide at Bowling Green State University.
