Library tools and databases

I have been to the Griffith University Library tool online and searched for different books and journals from different authors, so that I can get familiarised with how to search for books, journals and databases, and also learn how to reference right.

Library tools

First I went into the Griffith University library tool and searched for Stephen Stockwell's books. These are my findings:

Stockwell, S 2005, Political campaign strategy: doing democracy in the 21^st century, Australian Scholarly Publishing, Melbourne

Stockwell, S & Scott, P 2000, All-media guide to fair and cross-cultural reporting: for journalist, program makers and media students, Australian Key Centre for Cultural and Media Policy, Nathan, Qld

Isakhan, B & Stockwell, S (Eds) 2001, The secret history of democracy, Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke; New York

If  I were to write an essay on Jean Luc Godards 'Alphaville' I would use the library tool to find books that might be helpful. here are three examples of sources I could have used, and where to find them:

Sanders, S, 2008, The philosophy of science fiction film, University Press of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky

 - this book can be found in the library at College of Art in South Bank.

Buss, R 1994, French film noir, Marion Boyars, London; New York

 - this book can be found in the library in Nathan

Godard, J.L, 2000, Alphaville: a film, Faber and Faber Ltd, London

- this book can be found in the library at College of Art in South Bank, in Nathan and Gold Coast

If I wanted to do a book to do research on social media I could have used this: 

Poynter, R, 2010, The handbook of online and social media research: tools and techniques for market researchers, John Wiley and Sons

- this book is available online. 

Databases

Stephen Stockwell's first article about Brisbane:

The newest article I found about Internet Addiction was one from Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology:
