<a name="background" id="background"></a>Find background

Reference works (online or print) can be used to acquire basic information on an unfamiliar concept or to gather ideas for your topic.

Language of Science
<a href="http://www.mlanet.org/resources/medspeak/medspeaka_d.html">Deciphering Medspeak</a> - Medical Library Association
Melloni's Illustrated Medical Dictionary - Science Reference q R121 .D76 2002

<a name="books"></a>Find books

<a href="http://luna.wellesley.edu/search">Wellesley College Library Catalog</a>

  • tip: in the<a href="http://luna.wellesley.edu/"> library catalog</a>, start with keyword > choose a useful book > Full Record tab - follow the subject links to find more on that topic
  • tip: to see the subscription details for a print journal or serial ['Lib has'] > Full Record tab.



<a name="articles"></a>Find journal articles

The following databases provide either full-text articles or citations (information about when and where the peer-reviewed article was published).

  • Use the <a href="http://www.wellesley.edu/Library/SFX/findit.html">Find It! @ Wellesley</a><img src="http://www.wellesley.edu/Library/SFX/sfxbuttonsmall.gif" width="85" height="20">link from each citation to search one or more electronic journal sources or to search our Library Catalog.
  • If Wellesley College cannot access the article, use the 'Find It' link to Interlibrary Loan, which automatically links the requestor to a form to submit for either
    • NExpress (several nearby libraries, often arrives in 2-3 days) or
    • ILL (thousands of libraries worldwide, arrives in 2days - 2weeks).

Popular & scientific articles - great places to start your search

More databases - cover peer-reviewed articles
