Standing
in line at the post office:
Bryan: Hey, Sara, whassup?
Sara: Not much, just finished some work in the library on that psych
paper.
Bryan: I worked on mine this weekend, found some books in the online
catalog... but I couldn't find any journal articles. I must be doing something
wrong. I got so frustrated!
Sara: Well, wait a minute! You can't find journal articles
in the online catalog. You gotta look in a periodical database.
Bryan: Oh.
Sara: And anyway, when you can't find what you're looking for, you're
supposed to ask the librarian, silly!
Questions
to consider:
- What was
Bryan's problem? Why couldn't he find journal articles in the online
catalog?
- What resource
did Bryan forget to take advantage of when he got frustrated using the
library?
