Source "Mining"

The bibliography or works cited page can help you with your research.  Using a relevant and "good" article, carefully read through the article for references and suggestions to other articles as well as a path to their sources.  Scholarship and research is a conversation that takes place through the output of articles, book, and studies.  When you have an article , you can use the Electronic Journal Finder to see if the Library subscribes to the journal title.
