Key Tips

Expect to use a wide variety of sources, including a combination of library research tools, websites and primary research (e.g. speaking with contacts directly).

Use a variety of terms when searching for sourcing info. For example, top could also be listed as blouse, shirt, polo, t-shirt, sweater, etc.

Extrapolate pieces of useful data from unexpected sources. For example, search the news for info related to manufacturing in your country, noting key people, companies, places and events for further research.

Accessing Full Text

When using a database, look for PDF links. 

In Catalog+, clicking the title of an article may take you directly to the article. If a catalog record appears instead, look for the green Article link. Click to access the article. There may be multiple options for access in different databases.

If no online options exist at SCAD, search the publication's title in journal title search to see if it is available in print.

No digital OR print options for your article? Not sure how to find a printed article on the shelf? Experiencing technical issues/broken links? Ask A Librarian!
