RESEARCH GUIDE TO LIBRARY AND ONLINE RESOURCES

(This webpage was prepared by Kathe Morrow, the Humanities Librarian.)

After you have used databases to find references and abstracts for papers, how do you actually locate the paper(s)?

(1.) First, check ASA to see if Lehigh has the journal, either in paper or electronic format. Select "browse", type in the title of the journal,
and then click "Journal Titles".
 

NOTE:

• A record will come up that shows you where the journal can be found in the library, if it is in print.
• Journals in electronic format have a link right out of the ASA record.
• Locations for paper versions of journals are listed in ASA.

(2.) You may want to see if one of the regional libraries has the journal.
(3.) You may order the article through interlibrary loan.    Don't wait til the last moment to order articles through ILL. 
 

An additional way to find papers: browse the tables of contents of recent issues or archived (bound) copies in the library, or look for relevant electronic journals browsable here by title or linked on ASA.

If you engage in plagiarism, it is like a ticking timebomb. There is a good chance you will be found out, with serious consequences.

Without intending to engage in plagiarism, you may unwittingly do so. To avoid it,  familiarize yourself with what it is. If you learn how to do footnoting in the proper style, this can help you.

Here's a new Lehigh University Libraries webpage that can help you get started:  Ante/Anti Plagiarism.

NOTE:   This webpage is not a substitute for whatever instructions your instructor gives about correct footnoting style and what constitutes plagiarism.

Let us know what you think about the "Ante/Anti Plagiarism" webpage--whether you found it useful or how it can be improved. Send an email to Sharon Siegler, the webpage's designer, and copy me (Brian Simboli) in.
