FINDING WEB PAGES

If there is no full text-link available but the citation or abstract looks promising, try these options:
1. From the Library’s homepage click on E-journals and search for the title of the periodical to see if wehave an electronic subscription. Not there? . Search the Novanet Catalogue to determine if the Mount or another Novanet Library has a print subscription. Follow these steps:
Open the Novanet Catalogue: www.msvu.ca/library ->click on Novanet
Do a Title search on the name of the periodical (not the title of the article.)
Check all titles that match. Novanet may display multiple titles that match your source. You are
looking for the word SERIAL in RED.
Your source may be at the Mount. If it is at another Novanet library you can place a Novanet Expressrequest to have articles faxed to you or copied and delivered to the Mount Library for pick up.
Not there?
3. Students and faculty may request an interlibrary loan for items not in Novanet. Ask for a form at the Reference or Circulation Desk or use the Web form at: www.msvu.ca/library/ill.htm. Costs vary and delivery can take up to 3 weeks

Search Tools
The amount of information available via the World Wide Web continues to grow at an exponential rate.
Because the Web is not organized in any way, the task of locating information you want can seem
overwhelming. Search Engines and Subject Directories are two of the tools available to help you retrieve the information you want.
Search engines are best for researching more specific or obscure topics. They function by performing fulltext searches of web pages and therefore frequently return an exceptionally large number of results.
Some examples of search engines include:
Google (http://www.google.com)
