Core 1 Library Session Follow-up

I am glad we were finally able to have our session on Thursday. I hope you were able to get something out of it! As promised, I have added a bit more info in this post about some of the things we talked about.

Finding Theses/Dissertations

Theses (from the Brock Library website)

This page outlines how to use the Library Catalogue to find theses/projects and provides links to other resources for locating full text theses and dissertations.

Proquest Dissertations and Theses

Brock theses available in full text from 2003. Searchable by university name, advisor name, keyword and more.

Cited Reference Searching

Cited reference searching enables you to find articles that have cited a previously published work.

Web of Science

Web of Science is a multidisciplinary database that contains three key sources for cited reference searching: the Science Citation Index, the Social Sciences Citation Index, and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index.

Google Scholar

You can also use Google Scholar to find cited references. When you do a search in Google Scholar you may see a "Cited by ##" link below the article. This link will take you to a list of articles/books that cite the original item.

Other databases will also allow you to search for cited references. For more information on this, see this page from Queen's University Library: Cited Reference Searching in the Social Sciences and Humanities.

Refworks

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management system that allows you to keep track of your references and easily create bibliographies.
