Finding Readings on your Reading List
HINTS: the Library Catalogue can only be searched by book author, book title, journal title, etc. Therefore, article titles, title and author of a chapter in the book usually are not searchable
Example: You are asked to read the followings:
Michel Oksenberg, “Will China Democratize?” Journal of Democracy, 9:1, Jan. 1998:27-34.

Search article title “Will China Democratize” has NO MATCHES
Example: Michel Oksenberg, “Will China Democratize?” Journal of Democracy, 9:1, Jan. 1998:27-34.

Need to Search for the Journal title “Journal of
Democracy” instead
Example: Michel Oksenberg, “Will China Democratize?” Journal of Democracy, 9:1, Jan. 1998:27-34.
