Management General - Management and Business - LibGuides at Lawrence Technological University

Getting Started

Thousands of books, journal articles, conference proceedings, and other types of literature are identifiable through TechCat+ and our subscription databases. Many of these are available electronically, while others may be found in the print collection or requested through interlibrary loan.

Start with an overview search for books & articles in TechCat+. It automatically searches many of our databases but you may also add specific ones to broaden the search. To really zero in on a topic, you may want to search a few selected databases individually for the most complete results. If you have questions, please contact a Reference Librarian. (248-204-3000 or refdesk@ltu.edu)

Citing Sources and RefWorks

Tools

Familiarize yourself with the tools that will make your research easier. Some are listed below. Also look into the tools available in many of the databases. Almost all databases have a tool that allows direct export of citations to RefWorks.

LinkSource - look for LinkSource in any non full text item. This product looks for electronic full text in other available resources.

eJournal Finder
Once you have the name of the journal or magazine the article was published in, type the publication title into the eJournal Finder search box to find out if LTU has access to the full text.
RefWorks
RefWorks may become your new best friend. This web-based software allows you to import citations, organize them in folders and create bibliographies. A plugin, Write-N-Cite, allows you to add in-text citations while composing your paper and will create a reference list from these citations. For more information, checkout the Citing Your Sources/RefWorks LibGuide.
