What parts of a record do I need?

Once you have found records that you think will be useful you need to note down where to find the information. You can do this by writing it down, or you can use the database to save the results to a floppy disk.

If you are writing down the results it is essential that you take note of the the author, title and source (including the volume, issue, date and page numbers) fields so that you can find the information later.

If you are using a database in the library it is always a good idea to bring formatted floppy disk with you.

Most databases will allow you to save records to a floppy disk so that you can refer to them or print them out elsewhere. The saved records can be viewed in virtually any word processing software.

Some databases have the facility to email the results to an address that you specify.

Check the help screens of the database you are using to find out the exact method of downloading.
