Fair Use - Thurs 3/1
The doctrine of fair use provides educators, among others, with the right to use a certain portion of copyrighted acts under certain conditions. Many mistakenly think of fair use as an educational exemption that would allow unlimited use of any amount of a copyrighted work, so long as it is used in an educational setting. That is simply not the case.
Learn how to determine the "fairness" of a use under the U.S. Copyright Code.

Sustainability Guides
Start with the Earth Charter initiative, which will give you some guidelines to thinking about sustainability.
County Data Sources:
Following the Earth Charter Initiative, think about changes the county might be able to make to become more sustainable. Want to investigate some data? The following sources provide some clues that might direct your thoughts:
US Department of Energy: SLED (Stats and Local Energy Data)
This site provides detailed information about energy usage, talks about buildings and efficiencies, renewable power, transportation, etc. You can look up a few cities in DuPage County by zipcode and see what recommendations the Department of Energy might have for the county.
Google Maps will show you a good physical layout of the county, from greenspace to public transportation options to whatever else you might be able to imagine.
Data USA will provide county-level data about demographics such as income, housing, and health. This database draws upon census data and was constructed by MIT.
The Chicago Metropolitan Area for Planning has a lot of good county-level data that you can use to help your county sustainability plan.
The Chicago Tribune Online can also give you clues about local news stories that have run about your topic.
You can also take a moment to look at the DuPage County Government Center Sustainability Best Practices Guide.
Start with Possible Solutions
Come across some solutions for your problem in buried in the data you just found? Great! Now it's time to start testing those solutions against research.
Start by thinking through all possible solutions to your problem. Not sure where to start? Google or the DuPage County Government Center Sustainability Best Practices Guide are good idea generators.
Finding Articles in Databases
Now that you know which sustainability initiatives you'll be recommending for DuPage County, find an article that explains how at least one of your changes might make a difference. You'll want to find a source in one of the following databases:
Academic Search Complete has a mixture of popular and scholarly articles on a variety of subjects. You'll want to be sure that you're using a source appropriate for class when searching.
U.S. Major Dailies includes the full-text of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the LA Times, and the Wall Street Journal. It's worth looking for long news articles about your sustainability topic to see what solutions other areas are implementing.
Science Direct is a scholarly journal article database. Use Science Direct to find current research on your topic.
Having trouble reading a scholarly article? Take a look at How to Read a Research Study.
Finding Articles in Full-Text
Find an article that you'd like to read but don't know how to find the full-text?
Enter the Journal Title (not the article title) into the Journal Locator.
Look at the list of results that will tell you if the journal is in our databases, and if so, for what years. If the article you want is available, great! Click the link and search by article title. In the example, we have access to the title in a range of spaces, including print in the library.
If you don't have access to the title, head to the Interlibrary Loan request forms. Copy and paste info about your article into the form and then fill out your contact information. Usually you will get an email with a link to the article in about 5 days.
Confused? Check out this video that shows you how to check to see if an article is in our databases.
Using CSE Style
First of all, we have a copy of Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers in the library. You'll want to head to the downstairs reference desk (2nd floor, SRC, to request a copy).
There are also many websites which will help you to format your citations in CSE style. Here are some of the best:
- Citation machine will create citations for you in CSE format.
- University of Wisconsin at Madison's CSE Guide has a list of types of citations in CSE style. Scroll down to find concrete examples.<./li>
- The website created by the authors of the book above is here: Scientific Style and Format
- University of Wisconsin at Madison's CSE Guide
- Washington State University also has a nice (color-coded!) site
- Need help figuring out how to abbreviate your journal title? Check this list sponsored by the Web of Science or this list created by Berkeley's Library.
