more specific aspects (biography, pictorial works, etc). Alternatively,
browse the shelves at the following call numbers:

You can also limit many catalogue
seraches by language e.g. Modern Greek.
A number of books and readings
may have been placed in the Readings collection
and/or eReadings.
Use the Course
Readings Search on Voyager to search for your course.
Journals
A journal (also known as
a periodical, serial or annual) is a publication that appears at regular
intervals on an ongoing basis. Each issue has the same title and contains
articles written by many different authors. Reading the journal literature
is a good way to keep up-to-date in the field.
The library subscribes to
a number of print and electronic journals; your lecturer will probably
recommend titles that s/he thinks are particularly useful.

Library databases
The best way to find articles in journals is to use one of the many
journal indexes available. These are available in electronic format
and are commonly referred to as Library databases. There are two types
of Library database: citation and full text.
Citation databases provide enough information to direct you to the
full text of the article. They have sophisticated search capabilities,
are subject-specific, and usually cover at least 30 years’ worth
of literature. You will retrieve a citation (also known as a reference)
for each item.
Full text databases will take you directly to the full text. While
this is convenient, it is important to remember that there is a limited
amount of material available in this format.
It is worth using a citation database that is subject-specific to ensure
you obtain the maximum possible references, especially when looking
for specialised information.
The following table summarises the most useful databases for Modern
Greek-related research. A complete list can be found here.

Most library databases index
scholarly journals. Many also index magazines, newspapers and trade
publications; some may also index conference papers, book chapters,
theses and government reports.
It is important to be able
to recognise a scholarly journal, i.e. a journal that has been peer-reviewed.
Peer review is
the process of checking information by other experts in the field (peers)
to evaluate it before its publication.
