    Narrator: Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian.

    提出问题
    Student: Hi, um…, I really hope you can help me.
    Librarian: That’s why I’m here. What can I do for you?
    Student: I’m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but I’m having a hard
    time finding articles. I don’t even know where to start looking.
    Librarian: You said this is for your psychology course, right? So your focus is on …
    Student: Dream Interpretation.
    解决办法
    Librarian: Well, you have a focus, so that’s already a good start. Hmmm… well, there’re a few
    things… Oh wait… have you checked to see if your professor put any materials for you to look at
    on reserve?
    Student: Aha, that’s one thing I did know to do. I just copied an article, but I still need three more
    on my topic from three different journals.
    解决办法
    Librarian: Let’s get you going on looking for those then. We have printed versions of twenty or
    so(大约) psychology journals in the Reference Section. These are the ones published within the last
    year. Now that I think about it(我现在想想)… there’s a journal named Sleep and Dream.
    Student: Oh, yeah, the article I just copied is from that journal, so I’ve got to look at other sources.
    解决办法
    Librarian: OK, actually, most of our materials are available electronically now. You can access
    psychology databases or electronic journals and articles through the library’s computers, and if
    you want to search by title with the word ‘dream’ for example, just type it in and all the articles
    with ‘dream’ in the title will come up on the screen.
    Student: Cool, that’s great! Too bad I cannot do this from home.
    Librarian: But you can. All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed
    through any computer connected to the university network.
    Student: Really?! I can’t believe I didn’t know that. It still sounds like it’s going to take a while
    though, you know, going through all of that information, all of those sources.
    解决办法
    Librarian: Maybe, but you already narrowed your search down( 缩 小 ) to articles on Dream
    Interpretation, so it shouldn’t be too bad. And you probably notice that there’s an abstract or
    summary at the top of the first page of the article you copied. When you go into the databases and
    electronic sources, you have the option to display the abstracts on the computer screen, skimming
    those to decide whether or not you want to read the whole article should cut down some time.
    Student: Right, abstracts! They’ll definitely make the project more doable(可做的). I guess I should
    try out(试验；选拔) the electronic search while I’m still here then, you know, just in case.
    Librarian: Sure, er… that computer’s free over there, and I’ll be here till five this afternoon.
    Student: Thanks, I feel a lot better about this assignment now.
