Family & Consumer Sciences 404 Using the Library’s resources to find books and journal articles http://www.ulm.edu/~mawilliams
Where to start looking for articles? • You can: • Browse recent issues of journals on the 2nd floor (see online FCSC subject guide for available titles & call numbers) Or • Search our databases for articles on a specific topic • I suggest both because many of our journals are only online
Database searching • Best database for both interior design and child development: EBSCOhost • Articles from both fields can also be found in JSTOR, but most will be at least 5 years old
Finding journals in EBSCOhost • EBSCOhost actually contains several different databases, and for interdisciplinary fields it can be hard to know which ones to search in • The best way to browse FCS journals in EBSCOhost is through the library catalog
