1 Journals
Current Journal Collection Current issues (generally current year)
Bound Journal Collection Hardbound volumes (generally older than current year; includes loose issues that have not yet been bound)
Microfilm Collection Older volumes retained on microfilm; microfilm reader/printer available
Electronic Journals Accessible via internet (use A-to-Z hyperlink on library homepage) Passwords and log-on information available in LRC Passwords folders near all internet computers Includes electronic versions of our print journals as well as access to journals not available in print here Full-text databases provide access to thousands of additional journal titles
Databases Selected databases are listed on the LRC webpage, especially those to which the library subscribes and which either require a password or recognizes campus IP addresses. Many databases use a controlled vocabulary of subject headings (e.g., Medical Subject Headings or MeSH) but may also be searched using keywords, author names and other relevant terms. Some databases offer full-text articles. Each database varies in the ways in which search retrieval may be limited. Some available limits include: publication date, language, material held by this library, human and animal subjects, and full-text availability. Because of the diversity of opinion concerning chiropractic and naturopathic history and philosophy, information located through database searches might be at times contradictory and even questionable, even from fairly reputable databases. Information on selected databases is included in your handouts. Descriptions and instructions are readily available within each database’s informational features. Information located on chiropractic and naturopathic history and philosophy should include references to supportive documents, especially those produced by involved historical persons and by originators and major proponents of the philosophy.
2 Websites Selected websites are listed on the LRC webpage, including those of significant chiropractic and naturopathic organizations. These websites usually also provide links to additional relevant websites (e.g., state and national associations) and resources (including full-text articles and documents). Websites vary in features, quality of information, bias (especially due to organizational and financial sponsorships) and comprehensiveness, accessibility and ease of use and general strengths and weaknesses as well as absence of technical concerns (e.g., pop-up ads). Websites serve as one source of information but information taken from websites needs to be corroborated by database searching and information found in reputable literature. Websites maintained by government agencies and established national organizations are the most likely to provide well-balanced verifiable information. Information located on chiropractic and naturopathic history and philosophy should include references to supportive documents, especially those produced by involved historical persons and by originators and major proponents of the philosophy.
Other Resources
Vertical Files Articles and other short publications on significant topics are kept in the metal file cabinets along the south wall near the Miscellaneous Journals.
