Sources for Books:
To locate books, begin with the recommended
sources on your class's bibliography. Check the sources listed at the
ends of books or articles for additional recommendations. Then go to the
Drew Library Catalog (http://catalog.drew.edu/)
to see if we own the books you're after. Also use 'Keyword' searching
in the catalog to locate additional material.
Sources for Articles:
To find articles other than those listed in the bibliographies of recommended
books or articles, you'll need to check some journal indexes. The large
general indexes the Drew Library provides have full text of about half
of the articles indexed. More specialized indexes, with subject focus,
do not provide the full text of the articles. To find out how to determine
if Drew owns or has access to a specific journal, use the Finding
Periodicals guide at http://depts.drew.edu/lib/guides/findperiodicals.php
ProQuest Direct
A broad, general index, about half full-text, similar to Academic Search
Premiere. Use "Advanced Search," which is - paradoxically -
easier than "Basic. " (Actully, this is frequently the
case!)
Academic Search
Premier
This broad index locates articles on a wide range of topics in approximately
three thousand journals, and provides full text for about half of them.
Art
Abstracts 1984+
Indexes, but does not provide full text of major art journals.
ATLAS
Full Text Plus
The major index for religion. Don't let the 'full text' plug fool you
- only about fifty journals and magazines have full text in this database.
