Posted by Jamie Holmes on May 31, 2008

Learning Objective(s): After completing this challenge, you will know where to look to determine whether a particular article is available online

Challenge: Your instructor has given you a citation for an article he thinks will add to your research proposal. There is more than one way to find the article, but some are better (and quicker) than others. Use the hints below if you need to by clicking on the link.

Here is the citation:

Kuhlemeier, H. (2007). The impact of computer use at home on students’ Internet skills.

Computers and  education, 49(2), 460-480.

Is this article available online through NSU Libraries? Add a comment to this post that describes how you find out (tell me how you figured it out: list your pathway and search terms, if appropriate), then answer the following questions:

1. Is it available online?
2. If not, is it available in print at NSU?
3. If not, how can you get the article?
