What's There:

Articles by scholars on a variety of topics.

How to Start:

a) Use a library database or index to locate articles in journals. Print or make a note of the citation. For Hum 110 research, try:
b) Once you've identified some articles, and if they're not available online from Academic Search Premier or Humanities Abstracts, you need to check the Electronic & Print Periodicals List to see if Reed subscribes in print or to another online source. Be sure to compare the date and volume of the article to our library's holdings.
c) For print holdings, recent issues of non-science journals (usually 1-2 years) are in the South Reference Room. Bound volumes of journals are in the stacks area, south wing. They're arranged alphabetically by title.
