1 INFORMAION SKILLS: Geography II Exercise 1: Reading Lists o help you interpret your reading lists efficiently: this exercise will not be marked, but the correct answers can be found on after the session! he examples are from real reading lists. If you are still puzzled about finding any particular type of reference after the class, do ask library staff we are here to help you at any time! Start with the example circled on your sheet, then try a few more if you have time. For each example: Decide if the reference is to a: - book (B), - journal article (J), - chapter or extract from a book (E), - series (S), - internet resource (U). Mark up the type column accordingly (B, J, etc). Use the abbreviations sheet to help if necessary. Search OLIS (if appropriate) and note a convenient location and shelfmark on the sheet Mark O in the e column if the item is, according to OLIS, available electronically. For the journal articles, check DNet to see if the journal is available electronically. Mark in the e column if it is. Does this correspond with what OLIS says? See if you can find the actual article online using DNet.
