Identifies resources and search strategies to access relevant items for the VCE Global politics - Global actors & challenges
Citations give details of where an article or a piece of information was published. Many online databases contain the full text of articles that are cited, but sometimes only the citation, and not the full text, is available.
If there is only a citation available through our databases, you can search our Library catalogue to see if we hold the item. You can also search the Trove database which covers holdings at libraries around Australia.
See the following citation from the AustLit database.
To locate this article through the Library catalogue, first try a search just for the article - The Distance between Desire and Need by Paul Plisiewicz - using the Articles option.
An alternative is to search for the journal title Antipodes under Everything except articles. If it is available online there will be a View online tab.
If we hold the issue you want, navigate to the relevant issue - December, 2009, Vol 23 #2 p215 - and then to the article.
The Trove database contains records from libraries across Australia. If you cannot find a journal or book on our catalogue search Trove to see if another Library holds the item.
