Goals of Library session 1- August 30, 2007 , Oviatt Library 102C

Goals of Library session 2 - October 4, 2007, Oviatt Library 102 C

ISI Cited reference searching needs a login that is given at the top of the page. Altho you retrieve incomplete citations, you can use the find text menu the full record offers you. On the Find text clicking Help and browse to bottom to find a link to a web search in google scholar. Remember to set your preferences for google scholar to include CSUN Library. You can also use multisearch to find the full citation.
