Navigating the Library and Electronic Research Maze.
Woolums, Jill L.
Despite increasing and widespread access to more information, finding published research, studies, and literature in the field of education and psychology has become more complex. This paper demonstrates how to access published literature in various formats, including books, journal articles, conference proceedings, lesson plans, media, Web sites, reports, studies, statistics, and laws. Key online databases (found on the "hidden Web"), where to find them, and how to use them are identifies. Key Internet resources, including government, organizational, and commercial Web sites, are recommended. The paper includes tips for target searching, guidelines for evaluation of search results, and how to best utilize electronic and contemporary libraries in a public, school, or academic setting.
