Make note of the additional resources (book, book chapter, journal article) you identify in the bibliographies, references, notes and footnotes of the sources you are using. This is one of the best ways to further your research.
Example:
Let's say you found this article:
Dallman, S., Anita, M. C., Misgana, K. M., & Lee, J. (2016). The value of rain: Benefit-cost analysis of rainwater harvesting systems. Water Resources Management, 30(12), 4415-4428. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11269-016-1429-0
You read it and find it is perfect for your research. You should then look at the list of references and follow-up on any that look relevant. This is a great way to build your bibliography. Reference lists usually include journal articles, books, chapters in books, proceedings, reports, etc. If there are links to the full-text, like a DOI link, click it and read the next article.
If there are no links to the fulltext:
For Books - use UMD Discover
For Articles - There are a couple of ways to determine if we own the article and in what format. It can be tricky to find the article sometimes, please email the librarian if you are not finding what you need.
1. Use Google Scholar: either use as a database or make sure you have set library links to University of Maryland - Find@ UMD
2. Google and use the Reload button (http://lib.guides.umd.edu/reload-button)
3. Use UMD Discover and type in the title of the article or the journal name.
If an article is really great for your research, and you have checked the references used by the author/s, you can look and see if the article has been cited by anyone else since it was published.
There are several ways to see who has cited the article, but one of the best and easiest ways is to use google scholar.
Off campus? Two ways to make sure you are connected and able to see links to fulltext
1. use Google Scholar through the libraries homepage and Databases
https://www.lib.umd.edu/dbfinder
2. click on settings within Google Scholar - add University of Maryland - Find @ UMD to the Library Links
This is the original great article:
Dallman, S., Anita, M. C., Misgana, K. M., & Lee, J. (2016). The value of rain: Benefit-cost analysis of rainwater harvesting systems. Water Resources Management, 30(12), 4415-4428.
Once in Google Scholar, type in the article title:
Click on the Cited by and also check out the Web of Science cites
