Tips for finding articles through ODIN

I promised yesterday in class to post some tips about finding articles through the Chester Fritz Library website.

To find articles, you'll need the bibliographic citation (which you can find here). For tomorrow's class, you'll be reading:

Habermas, Jürgen. “The Public Sphere: An Encyclopedia Article (1964).” Trans. Sara Lennox and Frank Lennox. New German Critique 3 (1974): 49-55.

On the Chester Fritz website, you'll find the "Journal Titles" tab. Click on that and enter the title of the journal (in this case, "New German Critique"). You have the option of putting in the year and page numbers, but I usually don't because when I've done so in the past, it has occasionally told me that the library doesn't have an electronic copy even when it does.

So -- once you've entered the title, a list of available databases will come up. Click on one that includes the year you're looking for. For the Habermas reading, you'll get EBSOHost Academic Search Premier. Click on "go" and it will bring you to the database's page for the journal. (Here again you have the option of entering a year and page numbers, but I usually don't for the same reason as I mentioned above.)

If you're on a university server, the page will come right up. If you're not, you'll be prompted for your U-mail address and password, which will allow you to log in to a proxy server.

Now you can navigate through the page by clicking on the year and issue you want -- in the case of tomorrow's reading, 1974, issue 3. Those links will pull up titles for all the articles, and you can download a PDF from there.

Let me know if you have any problems, and I'll see you tomorrow!
