Using Subject Headings
Search by Keyword and look for Subject Headings in individual
records.
To modify a search:
- Use words from the Subject Heading in a Keyword search
- Click on the Subject Heading itself
Examples of Subject Headings:
Book
Chapters
To find chapters
within books, do a keyword search in Ariadne 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. The field
called Contents is where chapter titles are listed.
Example:
Thailand and globalization
Example: Thailand and sex trade
In keyword search
in Ariadne, you can also search for 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:kenya and n:environmental
Some indexes will
allow you to search specifically for book chapters.

Finding Journal Articles
Scholarly Journals (Psychology of Women Quarterly)
- Authors are scholars or researchers in their fields.

bibliographies.

Popular Magazines (Psychology Today, Newsweek)

by editors or publishers.

audience.

Scholarly or Not?
Use Ulrich's Periodicals Directory (Ref. Desk Z6941
.U5)
Look for section called "Document Type"
Document Type MUST say "Academic/Scholarly Publication"
to be considered scholarly!

title, publication date, volume number, and page number of
