3.15 Source and acquisition of literature
Initial sources of literature include course materials (readings), the Internet
and
university staff, You should research these first to give you a chance to
refine your ideas and search criteria before tackling
the online databases
available through the library.
Acquiring the content of articles identified may be free (borrowing from the
library, downloading from the Internet), relatively inexpensive (photocopying
journal articles), or photocopies from libraries elsewhere).
Ensure you
understand the resource requirements associated with a request. There are
various sources of funds to tap for these
purposes - check with your
lecturer/supervisor.
If you are studying a popular topic, check with your lecturer/supervisor to
see if there is an existing literature resource
maintained which you can
access and add to. This could save considerable time and expense and
also provides a springboard for students following behind.
