Module 4 - Locating - Finding Articles

Let's say you had this citation for an article:

Smith, Anne Kates. "Scanning for scams, or invading privacy?" US News and World Report. April 10, 2000: 45.

By searching Socrates for the periodical title US News and World Report you will find that Green Library has the most complete holdings, which means the greatest number of years/issues of the periodical. The call number is 051.U57, classified in the Dewey Decimal classification system.

It is important to write down the entire call number in order to locate the item. It is also important to write down the full citation so once you get to the shelf you know exactly which volume and issue you need.
