Finding journal articles

In Assessment 1 you need to find 6 journal articles (in total) and cite them correctly. 

On the Library catalogue you can filter to search through Peer-reviewed Journals.

• You can start your searching on the Library Collection
• Use the Refine my results section to limit to peer-reviewed content (credible academic sources)
• Here is an example search to get you started:
  • history AND "social work"
  • This returns a lot of results so think of other keywords you could also include

*PEER REVIEWED SOURCES* Here is a short video, Study Help: Scholarly Sources Explained that explains peer-reviewed sources (also known as scholarly or refereed sources).

*REFERENCING* - Visit the APA Referencing style guide to find out how to cite a Journal Article.

Finding book chapters

As part of this assessment you will also need to find Book chapters.

Search the Library catalogue for Book Chapters in the same way you searched for Journal Articles.

*HINT* you will find a filter for Book Chapters

*REFERENCING* - Visit the APA Referencing style guide to find out how to cite a Book Chapter.

Google Scholar

You could also try searching through Google Scholar (access it through the Library Collection)

Refer to your assessment instructions as the paper is to be written in the style of a blog. Examples of this can be found on the Re-Imagining Social Work in Aotearoa New Zealand site, in particular this article.
