HSD 610: Human & Social Dimensions in Science & Technology Colloquium

Library and Internet resources for HSD topics.

Locating a Known Citation

The yellow "Get it @ ASU" links or other full-text links within our databases should take you to the article if we have it. But if it doesn't, it's a good idea to check further. There's a good chance that we might still have the article you need. There are two ways that you can do this:

Search the title of the article in Library One Search. If you put the title of the article in quotation marks into the search box it will be a little more specific, but that's not always necessary. Usually just a simple cut and paste will work.

Another method that will usually work is to search the title of the article in Google Scholar. Be sure to access it through the ASU Library website. That way the "Get it @ ASU" links will appear.

If that method doesn't work you can also use our Journal Title Lookup feature to lead you to the full text online if we have it or to see if we have it in print.

Finding Background Information

If you need to find background information on an unfamiliar topic or discipline, journal articles are usually not your best source. Instead consider some of the following options:

Search for a Library Research Guide on the discipline or topic. Many research guides contain links to online encyclopedias and handbooks in the field.

Use an e-reference collection like the Gale Virtual Reference Library or Sage Knowledge.

Books from our catalog are also a good place to start when looking for broader information.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
