Google Scholar can be a useful tool when collecting research information. Settings can be updated to display:
Library Links - FindIt@Txstate
Bibliography Manager - EndNote (refers to Desktop EndNote)
This is a browser extension - if you find an article on the web, it will bring you to the full-text through TXST Libraries. This tool can also help with alerting you to journals considered "Problematic" (potentially predatory).
If you come across a citation to an article and you'd like to track down its full text, follow the steps below:
The example below shows that The Journal of Continuing Higher Education is accessible in print/microform as well as online. The entry also shows coverage dates to indicate which years are accessible.
Maximize your keyword searches with Boolean searching.
AND: motivat* AND employ*
OR: employees OR personnel
NOT: internet NOT "social network"
Use "quotation marks" to search for whole phrases.
Limit search results by Date and Peer-Reviewed journals.
Truncation searches variations of a word. The symbol used is usually *.
MOTIVAT* will retrieve: motivate, motivated, motivation, motivating
Check Subject terms to see if there are any synonym terms to consider.
