There are many online resources available
to you for conducting research. Listed below are some of the major sources
that will help you with your Interest Report assignment for this class.
Locating Articles
The Library has subscriptions to
several excellent online databases to help you locate articles about infant
toddler learning and related subjects:
Search Tips
| Don't try searching just for single
words such as "toddler" or "learning." You will have much better results
if you combine these terms or if you search for a specific aspect of infant
toddler learning such as "infants and mental development." |
| If you are having trouble using
a database, consult the Help files. Help files are usually found by clicking
a button marked "Help" or "Online Help." |
*A Library Card is required to access
this resource from off campus. For information about acquiring a Library
Card see "How do I get a Library Card?" on the Library's Frequently
Asked Questions web page.
To read PDF files you must install
the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader. Information about this application,
which is available for free, is available on the Library's
Software
Tools web page.

To locate magazines or books about infant
toddler learning (and related subjects) that the Library owns, search the
Library's online WEBCATalog.
