1. To find scholarly articles, it is productive to use the most comprehensive index for topics in architecture studies. The name of the index is ________________.
2.How/where can you access that index?[be more specific than "library web page: How would you describe to somebody how to locate a link to the index from the library page?]: ____________________________________________________

3. Do a "keyword" search for ________________________________ [fill in the topic you will do your paper on].

a. What is the total number of hits retrieved in the search? _______. (the first "tab" might say, for example, All Pulbication Types 334)

b. IF you have more than 20 results, select the tab "peer-reviewed journals"

c. Select format FULL record. (dropdown box at bottom of page). Some records will indicate that the article has "bibliographical references" (See the line for NOTES.)

d. Scan the records and "mark" (the box on the left) the first five that have bibliographical references (to save for review).

f. By each record on your printout write "relevant" or "not relevant" (if it is "relevant" it is on the subject of your paper). Be careful, just because it came up in your search results doesn't mean it is on your topic. For instance, there may be two architects with the same name.

g. Circle or highlight on the printout the " NT: Notes " that show bibliographical references are included [this indicates that the article is likely to be scholarly].

h. Underline on the printout the journal title, and ONLY the journal title, for each relevant scholarly article [TIP: the journal title is in the field that says "SO:" (for "source") -- the field that says "Title" is for the article title not the journal title].
