Article Challenge 1: : Finding a known journal article (SLC 1.3.a.1)

Learning Objective(s): After completing this challenge, you will know where to look to determine whether a particular article is available online

Time Limit: 10 minutes - if you finish early, you can try the bonus challenge

Challenge: Your instructor has given you a citation for an article he thinks will add to your research proposal. There is more than one way to find the article, but some are better (and quicker) than others. Use the LS hints below if you need to by clicking on the link.

Here is the citation (without the proper second line indentation):
Kuhlemeier, H. (2007). The impact of computer use at home on students’ Internet skills. Computers and education, 49(2), 460-480.

Is this article available online through NSU Libraries? Add a comment to this post that describes how you find out (tell me how you figured it out: list your pathway and search terms, if appropriate), then answer the following questions:

1. Is it available online?
2. If not, is it available in print at NSU?
3. If not, how can you get the article?

LS Hint #1: Elements of a journal article citation
LS Hint #2: Difference between a library catalog and a research database
LS Hint #3: Some useful tools : online journal search, catalog search
