7. Retrieving Articles Using Citations
Didn't find the full text of your article in UC-eLinks either?
Click on the UC-eLinks link to the Melvyl Catalog. As you saw in
the movie, Melvyl will tell you whether UCSC owns a print copy of
the journal containing your article. If so, write down the journal's
call number.

You'll find every volume and issue of the journal with
this call number, so you'll need just a bit more information to
get your article.
Look at the article record in Infotrac and take down the citation:
title, author, journal name, volume and issue numbers, page numbers,
and date of publication.

These will not only help you find the print version of the article,
but you'll also have everything you need when it comes time to list
the references for your paper.
Now with the journal's call number and the article's
citation in hand, go to the section of the library
for that call number and, based on your citation information, pull
the appropriate volume and issue number from the shelf. Go to the
page numbers you've noted and voilá! — you
have your article! |
