Follow-Up Dr. Simmons

Last week, I sent an email about Dr. Simmons sending her students to the library to find scholarly articles using "print journals only." I spoke to her on the phone Thursday evening and told her that the students would have to locate the articles electronically. She said that she would change her assignment and instruct her students to as us how to use the databases to find articles on their topic.

The topics are very general and they only have to find one article. I would suggest showing them Academic Search Premier, limiting the search for their topic to full-text, Scholarly (Peer reviewed).
