One detail -- 3 peer-reviewed articles, must be the original studies, not review papers
See box below titled, "Recognizing original research articles."
Also, (video) how to filter for original articles in ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and PubMed. You cannot really filter with a button in APPsearch or Google Scholar. But you should be beginning to recognize the original versus review anyway. (Note: I claim in this video that I eliminated everything but original studies from my PubMed results, but that's not true. I filtered out only reviews, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses. There would still be editorials and a small variety of other things.)
Almost all of our journals and electronic resources are available online to the entire AppState community. We're mostly buying ebooks for programs with many "distance" students.
But we do have additional services for you. As an "AppState Online" student, you may have physical books mailed to you. Click the Request button in the Library Catalog to trigger this. It will be mailed to your home with a postage paid return label. Make sure to update your University address!
Also, you might occasionally find an old article that we only have in paper volumes. You can request that these articles be scanned and emailed to you. Use our ILLiad system.
Also, everyone can use ILLiad in general to request articles, books, and theses that we do not have immediate access to. ILLiad is our InterLibrary "Loan" service. It's generally 24-48 hours for articles.
Also, contact us as needed. wiswellj@appstate.edu and bennettsj1@appstate.edu
