Books
In Print with Reviews Database
- This is a database of books that are currently In-Print. Out-of-print
books are noted as well. It is a good source to verify bibliographic information
and to see what books have been published on a specific subject.
An index database provides a citation to the article, i.e. title of
article, author, journal title, volume and issue number, page number, and
date. You should check other databases for possible full-text coverage. You
may need to consult the Catalog or Journals by Title to determine if the journal is owned
by OSU-Tulsa Library in paper or microfiche.
Specialized websites are excellent
sources of information. Commercial, governmental, and nonprofit organizations,
i.e. universities, associations, societies, libraries, etc. maintain websites.
These websites provide an overview of the field, historical information, current
trends, statistics, publish a newsletter or journal, identify recommended
publications in the field, advertise workshops and conferences, provide information
on career opportunities, and supply contact names, etc. Specialized websites
are important in library research. The following websites have been evaluated
and are recommended for use.
