**Conducting Library Research in the Sciences**
 * 1) Go to the library home page and select "Articles and Databases"
 * 2) Select the "Sciences" link, located under "Specialized Resources"
 * 3) Read through database descriptions. Identify those databases that seem to cover the topical area that you want to research.
 * 4) Enter keywords into the database search engine. Limit to "peer reviewed" if possible.
 * 5) Copy down the names of the journals that published the articles that you want to review.
 * 6) Open a new browser and, once again, go to the library home page. This time, select "Journals, Magazines & Newspapers in Our Library Using Journal Locator."
 * 7) Change "Title Begins with" to "Title Contains All Words," and enter several highly identifying words in your journal's title.
 * 8) See if the library has the journal in digital or physical holdings.
 * If so, retrieve your journal article and -- if source is digital -- export the citation to RefWorks
 * If not, use the library's interlibrary loan service to acquire the article.
 * Open a new browser and, once again, go to the library home page. This time, select "Get Articles from Other Libraries."
