REPEAT this process for Toni Morrison. However, after finding how many books there are by or about Toni Morrison, find how many books there are in the category of \u201cAfrican Americans in Literature,\u201d how many books on \u201cAfrican American Women in Literature,\u201d and how many there are in the category of \u201cCriticism and Interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Number of books on \u201cAfrican Americans in Literature\u201d:<\/p>\n
Title and author of book in this category:<\/p>\n
Number of books on \u201cAfrican American Women in Literature\u201d:<\/p>\n
Title and author of book in this category:<\/p>\n
Number of books on \u201cCriticism and Interpretation\u201d:<\/p>\n
Title and author of one book in this category:<\/p>\n
Go back to the main Library page and click on the \u201cLibrary Databases\u201d link. Choose the English & Communication subject from the drop-down menu. Open the \u201cAcademic Search Premier\u201d link and do a keyword search to find how many \u201cfull text\u201d articles there are for an author you are interested in.<\/p>\n
You can read online articles in multiple formats. But, download a \u201cPDF Full Text\u201d version of the article you find to your computer\u2019s desk\/laptop that is NOT a \u201cReview.\u201d <\/p>\n
Write down the title and author of that article here:<\/p>\n
Now it is time for you to continue conducting some research on your own preferred topic for your research paper. Find at least 6-8 full text, peer reviewed articles on your topic from different databases, including \u201cAcademic Search Premier.\u201d <\/p>\n
Remember, when you open the article link to see if it is relevant to you, you can \u201cAdd to Folder,\u201d \u201cPrint,\u201d \u201cE-mail,\u201d \u201cSave,\u201d and\/or \u201cCite\u201d these articles in order to save them for future use and begin creating a bibliography for future reference. That is, as you search, you should be creating a rough bibliography (collection of sources) that you can develop and use later.<\/p>\n
Database name: Name and author of a full-text article:<\/p>\n
Database name: Name and author of a full-text article:<\/p>\n
Database name: Name and author of a full-text article:<\/p>\n
If you download the pdf to your desk\/laptop, name the file after the author\u2019s name and title of the article. This way, you can reference it when you build your bibliography. If you cannot download a pdf version of the article, open\/view it in \u201cHTML\u201d and cut and paste the full text of the article into a word document, which you can save as a word file. If you have a flash drive, save the file on your flash drive.<\/p>\n
Write down the article author\u2019s name and the title of one article you found here:<\/p>\n
Now think about two or three critical topics \u201crelated\u201d to your original topic or author. You may wish to research the academic literature on these as well. Write down those \u201crelated\u201d topics here if you think they are relevant to your research and use these topics to search for articles related to these topics.<\/p>\n
