Reference Questions of the evening

1. A student was looking for information on the importance of the family. One of the problems was finding articles in psychology journals that were too technical for him. I showed him Academic Search Premier and Lexis-Nexis. We found better articles using the terms family values and family relations.

2. A second student needed information on green offices. i strated him off in Scopus where we found some relevant information. Some good articles were in conference proceedings not available to us. I showed him Academic Search Premier and the Avery Architecture database. When I did a book search I found him this perfect source:
