cat·a·log: noun: 1. a systematic, usu. annotated, list of books, merchandise, or the like that is available in or from a source such as a library or mail order merchandiser. --Wordsmyth Dictionary-Thesaurus, 2003. [http://www.wordsmyth.net/] When you don't find a needed source on the Internet or in a disciplinary database, a citation can be used to find the source somewhere else, typically in a library. The source for discovering what a library owns and where they keep it is a catalog. Even if the library doesn't have a print copy of a specific title inside its walls, if it provides access to it in some other form (typically online) this can be discovered by searching its catalog. The library catalog is a database of everything a library owns; but its records don't include article titles, and rarely include chapter titles. So, don't search for article or chapter titles. Search for book, journal, magazine, or newspaper titles.
Using items from the last exercise, in the quiz on the right, see if you can tell which element you would search in a library catalog. |
