Book Chapters
To find chapters in books, search in the four places listed
above for finding books.
To find chapters within books, do a keyword search on your
topic, whether your topic is an idea, a period of history,
or a person. A keyword search will search multiple fields
of the record for a book, such as title, author, contents,
etc.
Example: table manners
Example: racism
Example: coming of age
In Ariadne, you can use a keyword search to find your topic
specifically in the contents note field, where chapter titles
are listed. To search the note field, your search would look
like this:
Example: n:cultural transmission

Types of Periodicals
Periodicals are publications that are issued "periodically"
- that is, at regular time intervals, such as weekly, monthly,
or quarterly. They can be magazines, journals, or newspapers.
Periodicals can be divided into two broad categories: scholarly
journals, and news or popular magazines. These two types of
publications serve different purposes and different audiences.
Scholarly Journals (Current Anthropology)
- Authors are scholars or researchers in their fields.
- Authors cite their sources in footnotes, endnotes, and
bibliographies.
- Individual issues have little or no advertising.
- Articles must go through a peer-review process.
- Articles usually report original scholarly research.
- Most illustrations are charts, figures, or graphs.
- Authors use the specialized language or jargon of the
discipline.
Popular Magazines (National Geographic)
- Authors are freelance writers or magazine staff members.
- Authors may mention sources, but rarely cite them in
notes or bibliographies.
- Individual issues contain many advertisements.
- There is no peer review process. Articles are reviewed
by editors or publishers.
- Illustrations are numerous and colorful.
- Articles are meant to inform and entertain an educated
audience.
- Language is written for the general adult audience
(no specialized jargon).
Is it Scholarly? Look it up in Ulrich's Online!

"Peer Reviewed," or "Refereed" to be
considered scholarly!
Don't forget to use bibliographies
contained in reference books, annotated bibliographies, circulating
books, and journal articles!
