Part One

1.
a. This is a chapter from a book.
b. I would go to Search It from the Vancouver library homepage. I am searching by the book title.
c. The book is available at Holland/Terrell Libraries Stacks. I would have to request the book by selecting “request item” and selecting WSU Vancouver library as the pickup location.

2.
a. This is a book.
b. I would go to Search It from the Vancouver library homepage. I am searching by the book title.
c. The book is available at Holland/Terrell Libraries Stacks and Tri-Cities library. I would have to request the book by selecting “request item” and selecting WSU Vancouver library as the pickup location.

3.
a. This is an article in a journal.
b. I would go to Search It from the Vancouver library homepage. I am searching by journal title – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology.
c. The journal must be requested via ILLiad – Vancouver

4.
a. This is a periodical.

c. Available at all WSU campuses Through ProQuest. No iLLiad needed. In ProQuest I searched the title of the article and found it.

Part Two – The references in the articles I found for Part One only contained Journal articles. I couldn’t find any citations to books or chapters of a book, or periodicals.

1. a. Citation:
Briones, E.; Colino, C. I.; Lanao, J. M. Delivery Systems to Increase the Selectivity of Antibiotics in Phagocytic Cells. J. Controlled Release 2008, 125, 210 227, DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2007.10.027

From
Maleki, H., Rai, A., Pinto, S., Evangelista, M., Cardoso, R. M., Paulo, C., & Durães, L. (2016). High Antimicrobial Activity and Low Human Cell Cytotoxicity of Core–Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles Functionalized with an Antimicrobial Peptide. ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces8(18), 11366-11378.

b. Article in a journal
c. To get the full text I had to search the article title - Delivery Systems to Increase the Selectivity of Antibiotics in Phagocytic Cells—in academic search complete. It is available in full text and no interlibrary loan is needed.



2. a. Citation:

b. This is an article in a journal
c. To get the full text I had to search the article title – Antimicrobial resistance, respiratory tract infections and role of biofilms in lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients —in academic search complete. It is available in full text and no interlibrary loan is needed.

Part Three


This week’s assignment was interesting because I got learn more about how journal article references. In my research process prior to taking this class I would never look at the references in the articles I found. Now I know that some of the articles sited in the reference are also good resources for my topic. When trying to find specific sources in the reference section, I could only find other journal articles and no books or chapters from books. So I wasn’t able to get two different types of sources. But I did learn how to search for books using Search It and I learned a lot more about interlibrary loans and how to request articles and books.

  1. Hi Danny, excellent work on all of this, but remember that not all journals are covered by Academic Search Complete so sometimes it is better to search by the journal title in Search It to see where that journal is available. I'm not surprised, given your topic, that all of the citations you found were for journal articles.--Sam
