Finding a Particular ArticleFinding a Particular Article

Is this article available in the Library? There are more than one way to check whether we have a particular article. The

simplest way is to check the Library catalogue by journal title (not the article title)

E.g.

Sadler, P. M. & Good, E. (2006). The impact of self- and peer-grading on student learning. Educational Assessment, 11(1), 1-31. doi:10.1207/s15326977ea1101_1

Search the Library catalogue to see if we have the print copy and / or electronic copy of the Journal

We may have more than one database providing access to the same journal but they may contain issues for different years – and some of them use an embargo period (e.g. latest 12 months not available)

Why use e-database for information? E-Database is an organized collection of scholarly information.

E-Databases contain update information of journal articles, book reviews, conference papers, and other academic materials.

E-Databases support flexible and in-depth search for journal title, article title, author, issue, volume, etc.

Use electronic databases to search for local and international literature.

Some databases provide the complete full text articles.

Other databases provide abstracts of the journal articles.
