Assignment 3: MLA and WorldCat Author/Topic Search “The Arduous Task of Finding Sources on Joseph Addison, Sir Richard Steele and their Publications”
The search parameters for the subject of Joseph Addison, Sir Richard Steele and their respective publications were basic, yet the paucity of relevant information concerning the subject made the task of finding the articles an arduous process. There did not seem to be many scholarly journal articles about the subject on WorldCat and the MLA database, and some strategic maneuvers became necessary. After doing the main searches using the names of the authors and works, which were the most productive searches, a few more results were yielded after typing some form of “eighteenth-century British periodicals” was searched. WorldCat searches had to be manipulated by selecting the “ArticleFirst” database for the search ending; otherwise, several useless books and internet sites would be found in the search. Most of the articles could be found on both websites, and only one is in the AUC library, although a bit more can be found in full-text on the internet. Several articles on both websites were also in French, which were ignored because of the language barrier. When selecting the sources, the best way to ensure their relevancy to the topic was to look for the name of the author or work in the title of the article, or an article that discussed the eighteenth-century periodical, as it is almost inevitable the subject could be found there. Overall, Worldcat proved to be the least effective means of finding scholarly articles primarily because of the navigational problems associated with the site.
