 Welcome from the Reference Staff at the Naval War College Library. With this video presentation you will learn how to find specific journal articles in the Naval War College's electronic environment from the library homepage on the internet. This instruction is for you if you have a journal article link in your syllabus that doesn't work or if you have an article that you would like to find from a citation. This instruction is not for beginning your subject keyword research. First I want to make sure that you know how to get into the library homepage online. When you are on campus working from a networked computer you can get straight into the library homepage from this toolbar or you may find yourself on the college's intranet. From the intranet go into the learning commons and then go over to the left hand side of the page and enter the library here. Either of these paths will lead us into the library homepage. If you are at home working remotely or you are out on travel you will need to enter the Naval War College Library homepage through blackboard if you want to use any of the library's databases for research. To be authenticated into blackboard you need to use the user ID and password that the Naval War College has given you. Once you are authenticated into blackboard this is what you're going to see. You enter the library here and the library homepage is linked here. Now let's take a look at a citation. When you have a citation to a journal article in hand you should have the author of the journal article then you should have the journal article title and that should be in quotation marks. Then you should see the name of the journal itself and that will probably be an italics unless it's an older style where it might be underlined. Then you see the bibliographic data that would be the volume number, the issue number. Sometimes you'll see a month then the year and the beginning pagination. Now the question that you should ask yourself is how do I find this particular journal article online? You have to find the journal online before you can find the article. To find this particular journal online we're going to do a journals search. The link into the journals search database is here on the library homepage. And you'll see that it is currently also featured on the left hand side of the Naval War College Library homepage where it says articles and journals. But remember you're looking for a journal title first. So each of these links will take you into the database that will take you into the search for journal titles. When you're in the journals database you have four options for doing your search in the drop-down menu. You have title begins with title equals, title contains all words and ISSN equals. Perhaps the path of least resistance is title contains all words. And here is your electronic coverage of the United States Naval Institute proceedings in three journal databases. You see that this coverage is from 1997 to the present or 1999 to the present in these journal databases. You also see that the Naval War College Library has print holdings of the proceedings going back to 1874 and microfilm holdings of the proceedings going back to 1874. If you need to see any of this historical coverage please let us know and we can help you with that. At this point notice the date coverage and choose a database to go into. Here you are in the digital coverage of the United States Naval Institute proceedings and the years that are covered are over here to the right. Remember we are looking for a journal article title that was in 2002. We were looking for volume 128 issue 10 from the month of October. And we were looking for an article titled rediscover the art of command and control. And here it is in PDF full text. This is beautiful. This is just what you want. You also see that to the right of the article there are some icons. These icons can sometimes be found in other databases at the top of the database over to the right and sometimes way over to the right hand side. And they allow you to print this PDF to send a link to yourself or to open up and find the citations. I highly recommend going in and copying and pasting this citation information into a working file so that you will always have a trail of what journal articles that you have used in your paper. I hope that I have helped you get comfortable in the electronic environment at the Naval War College library. If you have any questions, if you didn't find the article or the journal that you're looking for, please contact us at Libref at usnwc.edu. And we will perhaps have to teach you how to do an interlibrary loan. Have a great day and good luck with your research.
