HINTS: the Library Catalogue can only be searched by book author, book title, journal title, etc. Therefore, article titles, title and author of a chapter in the book usually are not searchable
Example: You are asked to read the followings:1. Lai, D., & Surood, S. (2008). Predictors of Depression in
Aging South Asian Canadians. Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology, 23(1), 57-75.
2. Ren Y. (1999). China’s Perceived Image of the United States: Its sources and impact. in P. Koehn and J. Cheng (Eds.), The Outlook for U.S.- China Relations Following the 1997-1998 Summits: Chinese and American Perspectives on Security, Trade, and Cultural Exchanges (pp. 247-265). HK: Chinese UP.
