This time, we were asked to search 3 articles using the e-journal portal of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM). E-journal portal of UKM had subscribed to many electronic journals to provide access to their students.
What is electronic journal(e-journal)?
Electronic journals are scholarly journals or magazines that can be accessed via electronic transmission. They are a specialized form of electronic document: they have the purpose of providing material for academic research and study, they are formatted approximately like printed journal articles, the metadata is entered into specialized databases, such as DOAJ or OACI as well as the databases for the discipline, and they are predominantly available through academic libraries and special libraries. Most commercial sites are subscription-based, or allow pay-per-view access. Many universities subscribe to electronic journals to provide access to their students and faculty, and it is generally also possible for individuals to subscribe. (abstracted from Wikipedia)
I have chosen few e-journals from the e-journal portal of UKM to search for the articles that related to my nursing and technology. The e-journal in the portal are categorise using Alphabetical Title Lists and categorise based on subjects such as Business Management/Economy, Computer/Engineering, Education/Psychology, General/Various Subjects, Information/Library Science, Law, Medical Science/Pharmacy/Dentistry, Science & Technology, Social Science/Linguistics and many more. The e-journal that I have chosen are Science Direct, SpringerLink, and Oxford Journal to search for the articles related to nursing and IT.
Actually, the ways to search article in the e-journal are more or less same as the ways to search article using the searching engine. I did use some of the techniques that I described in my previous post to search for the articles. For examples the Advance Search. I found out that using Advanced Search can find an articles that combine few topic or main points in one article.
The 3 articles that i found from the e-journal portal of UKM are:
