ABOUT DOING RESEACH
A journal's web site provides you with great information, for example, Child Development is a terrific example as it provides a plethora of information including:

• Table of content
• Author Guidelines
• Links to all issues
• RSS Feeds
• Email Alerts
• Impact Factor (newly added feature)
• Editorial Board Members

The Librarian's in Residence encourage you to use either email alerts or RSS feeds to help you keep current with new research in journals. For example, you can get an alert sent to your email address that provides 1) the current issue's table of contents, 2) new articles published by a specified author, or 3) citations that are retrieved from a search strategy that you save. In the near future, the CLIC librarians will be holding workshops on how to set up email alerts and RSS feeds offered by publishers and databases.

In addition, you must enter text in the SUBJECT line for the machine to function properly. Step-by-step Instructions are attached to the machine.

Remember that scanning documents is regulated by the same copyright laws as photocopying documents.
