 When Will first started working on his research paper for History 3889, he struggled to find scholarly secondary sources. After his first search in a database, he found only one scholarly article he could use. He spoke with a librarian and he learned that he could probably use that one article to find additional sources through citation chaining and cited reference searching. First, the librarian told Will to look carefully at the references or footnotes for the article he had already located, where he would probably find citations for additional sources related to his topic. After identifying a few additional sources that looked relevant, Will could then locate these articles and books through the library's catalog and databases. If there were any that the library did not have, he could request them using the library's interlibrary loan service, Source Finder. Once he had access to the additional sources, he could then use the references in these sources to identify even more possible books and articles. Will learned that many databases, including America History and Life and Historical Abstracts, will sometimes include a link to all of the references for certain articles. For some of these references, a direct link to a PDF will be available. For others, there is the option to request through Source Finder. By looking at the references for his article, Will was able to find previously published research. He also wanted to find research that had been published since his original article was published. For this, the library explained how he could search for articles that cited his article as a reference. One option was to use Google Scholar. All he needed to do was to search for his original article. Then he could use the cited by links to find more recent articles that cited his original article. In addition to using Google Scholar, Will learned that many databases also provide links to more recent articles that cite the original article. America History and Life, for some sources, he could click on the time cited in the database link to find more recent articles. By looking at the references and cited references for his original article, Will was quickly able to locate several additional relevant sources for his paper.
