status] P106 . L235 [library call number] 0226468011 [ISBN number] 206-233 [pages you are using] 1980 [date of publication] |

*publisher’s name: when you click in the publisher space, a screen will pop up allowing you to search for the publisher in our database. If you do not find the publisher already listed, you may leave it blank.
**journal title: if possible, please determine whether or not we have online access to the article you are using, because if so, copyright regulations require that we LINK to it, rather than scan the article and save a copy. To find out about the online full-text status of any journal, use the Journal Locator (link is on Library homepage). IMPORTANT: when adding the persistent URL for an article link, DO NOT delete the proxy server prefix which is already in that field: you must ADD your link at the end of the proxy server link, or else the article will not come up off-campus! You may have questions about this, and if so, call Carol Goodson 678-839-6507 for assistance.
