You may want to limit your search to previous decades--to see how scholars were covering the issues bak in the 60s or 70s.

Using Google Scholar

While we encourage you to try Google Scholar, keep in mind that this software is 'in Beta.' Beta status indicates that Google Scholar is still in development, and you may therefore encounter some inconsistencies or peculiarities.

Remember to check into Cited by links & Related Articles links!

 

When UNLV Libraries Doesn't Own Material that You Need

Link+ (Link Plus)

What is LINK+?

LINK+ is a book request service that uses a shared library catalog to allow UNLV students, staff and faculty to search for and borrow over 8 million books and documents from over 40 libraries throughout California and Nevada.
How does it work?

If you don't find the book you are looking for in the Library Catalog, click on the Link+ button to automatically search for your book in the LINK+ catalog.

If the book is available, click on "Request this item" while viewing the full record.

Choose Univ of Nevada Las Vegas as your institution.

Enter your name in the top box and your Libraries barcode in the second box.

Choose your preferred pickup location in the second drop-down box. Click "Submit".

You will be notified by email when the item arrives in 2-4 days.

Interlibrary Loan

The Document Delivery Services (DDS) department is here to help UNLV students, staff, and faculty access information that is not available from the UNLV Libraries. We are able to obtain most books, articles, conference papers, government publications, and dissertations through our network of lending libraries.

In order to register for and use our ILLiad Document Delivery system, you must have an active library account with no fines on it.

DDS Requests can be made 24 hours a day using the ILLiad Document Delivery system. Please check the Library Catalog (for book and journal titles) and the UNLV Print and Online Journal Subscriptions (for journal titles) before making requests for materials we do not own.
