Bibliography Article Search Tips

For this discussion board, you are to find one article in the Library from this bibliography:

Nissen, L. B. (2014). Alcohol and drug prevention, intervention, and treatment literature: A bibliography for best practices. Best Practice In Mental Health10(1), 59-97.

There are quite a few articles in that bibliography.  Please note that while we do have an extensive collection, we do not have all of these articles. Below are two ways to search for articles in the Library collection.

Title Search:

Latkin, C., Williams, C., Wang, J., & Curry, A. (2005). Neighborhood social disorder as a determinant of drug injection behaviors: a structural equation modeling approach. Health Psychology24(1), 96-100 5p.

In the large search box on the Library homepage, type all or part of the article's title:  Neighborhood social disorder as a determinant of drug injection behaviors: a structural equation modeling approach

Then change the drop down menu so that the word Title appears.

That way, when the search is performed, only titles will be searched.

The article you are looking for should be the first item in the results. At times, you will need to scroll down to find the article you are looking for but generally, it will be at the top of the list.

Keyword Search:

In the search box, type:  Latkin "Neighborhood social disorder as a determinant of drug injection"

(author's lastname + "title of article in quotes")

Make sure that the drop down menu says Keyword for this search.  This way, all parts of the article will be searched.

Again, the article will be near the top of the results list again.
