Does McCain Library have this journal? Is it full-text?
If the database you are searching does not include your journal or article,
search the Journal/Article
Locator. 
This will show you if we have your journal through any database. The
journal/article locator will also tell you if we have a publication in
our print or microfilm collections. If we don't have access to the publication,
you can request the article through Interlibrary
Loan, or, check to see if another
local library that you can visit owns it.
Other local libraries may have books in their collections on your topic.
Try searching their catalogs for relevant materials.
Creating a Bibliography: RefWorks
RefWorks:
Useful web-based tool that allows researchers to import references
from online databases. You can use these references in writing your papers
and automatically format the paper and the bibliography in seconds. The
tutorial and Quick Start Guide are both very well-done; they are available
under "About Us" link in RefWorks.
Please Note: RefWorks is an excellent tool & can create bibliographies
in many formats. They do not claim 100% accuracy though; it is still your
responsibilty to ensure entries are in the proper citation format. Please
proofread!
