Question

carl is researching a speech on euthanasia. he knows that there are some excellent journal articles on the subject, but his universitys small library doesnt carry the journals in which the articles appear. carl has only a few days until he must give the speech; what should he do? 1) carl should substitute web site information for the journal articles, because material from the web is more accurate and current than published journal articles. 2) carl should use a full - text database, like academic search premier found in galileo, to attempt to locate complete texts of the journal articles. 3) carl waited too late to start his research, so hell have to use something else instead of the journal articles. 4) carl should use interlibrary loan to see if he can locate the needed journal articles.

Explanation:

1. Web - site information is not always more accurate and current than published journal articles, so option 1 is incorrect.
2. Using a full - text database like Academic Search Premier in GALILEO is a good way to find journal articles if the library doesn't have the physical journals.
3. Just because he started late doesn't mean he can't access the journal articles.
4. Interlibrary loan is a common service that allows borrowing materials from other libraries, which can be useful in this case. Both using a full - text database and interlibrary loan are viable options, but in an academic context, a full - text database is often the first step as it is quicker and more convenient if available.

Answer:

1. Carl should use a full - text database, like Academic Search Premier found in GALILEO, to attempt to locate complete texts of the journal articles.
2. Carl should use interlibrary loan to see if he can locate the needed journal articles.
