Research Tip - Footnote trail
The best place to start is by following the footnote trail of others. If you have used reference books to narrow your topic, look at the works cited bibliography or recommended reading section to see if there are any articles cited by the author of that introductory piece. If so, take down the citation information - author, article title, journal/magazine title, volume/issue number, date - so that you can use it to search for the full text of the article, whether that be found in one of our online resources, in our print library (which we can scan and email to you), or freely available on the internet. If you haven't used reference books, you can still follow the footnote trail left in books and even in other articles.
For example, the bibliography at the end of the "Great Britain: Jewish Refugess," article in the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, cites this journal article:
Gilbert, Martin. "British Government Policy towards Jewish Refugees: November 1938-September 1939." Yad Vashem Studies 13 (1979): 127-167.
To locate the entire article, you can search by journal title in our A-Z List of Electronic Journals, our online catalog, and if the journal is not found, WorldCat. WorldCat will tell you what other libraries in the area own the issue. You can then submit an interlibrary loan request or visit the library in person. We do not own the physical print nor do we subscribe to the online version of this journal. The best way to obtain access, since this article is a bit dated, would be to submit the ILL request. Joe Cataio, our ILL technician, will have it emailed to you within 2 weeks (but probably sooner).
