 Searching
the Library Resources Database (LRD) |
| Once you understand the types of information provided
in a citation, you will need to search the Library
Resources Database (UNSW catalogue) to locate the item.
It is important to use the appropriate terms when you
search (especially for journal article and book chapter
citations). |
 |
What can you find using
the Library Resources Database (LRD)?
The LRD contains records of books and journals that are held
by the library, in print or electronic format. You can only
search the 'top level' information for these items, that is: |
|
- for books, the LRD contains information such as
the author, title and publication details but not
chapter titles. If you are looking for a chapter
published in a book, you will need to search using the book
title. This will tell you if the library has the book
to locate the relevant chapter;
- for journal titles, the LRD does not
record each article published (it would take too
much time for any library to input all the articles published
in every held journal issue). Hence when you are looking
up a journal article in the LRD, you will need to know
the citation, and search by journal
title. You can then check to see if the library holds
the volume and issue in which the article was published.
There are various ways of searching the Library
Resources Database, such as, by Author or by Title.
Use the one that is appropiate for the item that you are looking
for (see the examples on this page). Once you have a call
number, see Chapter 6: Where is... ? UNSW
library collection to find out where to locate the item.

Peterson, B.W.,
& Richmond, F.J. (1988). Control of head movement. New York : Oxford University Press.
|
Use a combination
of keywords from the book title and author and search All
Fields. You can also search by
Title or Author, but
this may be a problem when they are common names/terms (eg.
searching for the title "sport", or author
"smith" individually will retrieve many results). |

To locate a journal
article from a given citation, you will need to know if the
library holds the Journal Title in which the article
was published and also the required issue (indicated by the
volume and issue number). Do not
search by the article title or the article author(s).

For a book chapter,
you will need to locate a copy of the book - search for the
book using a combination keywords from the title and author
(see "Searching for books"). Do
not search by the chapter title or the chapter
author(s). For the example listed, you can search in Title
three dimensional analysis of human or
All Fields analysis human allard
(ie. keywords from the title and editor
of the book - Allard) |
