Chapter 9 - Searching for information with print resources
Browse the stacks - most libraries use the Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal System which are organized based on subject
Look through books and periodicals. If they don't have what you need you can ask it to be recalled (returned and held for you), or you can ask to get it through an inter-library loan.
Consult works cited in periodicals to find key voices and other sources
Consult bibliographies to find sources in reference rooms
Types of Bibliographies - Trade bibliographies, general bibliographies, or specialized bibliographies
Consult cumulative bibliographies or bibliographies of bibliographies to find more sources pertaining to your topic
Consult indexes - periodical indexes, indexes of materials in books, pamphlet indexes, government document indexes, or citation indexes
This chapter is all about how to gather more sources in print to aid with your/my research topic. I can use this to help me find more books, articles ect on Easter Island. I already have a variety of scholarly articles but I need more variation of my sources. I didn't know there were bibliographies of bibliographies, which I think will be very useful to helping me find articles that are relevant to my topic in a quick efficient manner.
