Example 1

I found this article by using one of the popular links in the LibGuide.

STEPS:

  1. Review the article for clues...author names, date of publication, name of journal, etc.
  2. Try using the Ctrl + F function on your keyboard to find keywords like, published in, author, etc.
  3. Once you have all the clues, try to find the article. If you have the journal name, go to the HACC Journals page, if you have the main topic phrase and authors, try Google. Find out the title of the article or even better...the name of the journal.

I found this article by searching Google for "a recent study" psychology

Follow the same steps as above. Look for the journal using the HACC Journals page. This article is also an example of Open Access. This means you could have also Googled for it and found it for free.
