Part 2.

Alter, George. 1992. Theories of fertility decline: A nonspecialist’s guide to the current debate, in J. R. Gillis, L. A. Tilly and D. Levine (eds), The European Experience of Declining Fertility, 1850–1970. The Quiet Revolution. Cambridge, MA: Blackwell, pp. 13–27.

This is a book chapter. Searching through WSUV has led me to find an E-book with ISBN, however there is no full text available, nor is there a link to request it. Searching with the ISBN, I found it on WorldCat and was able to find an area to request it through inter library loan.

Anderson, Michael. 1998. Highly restricted fertility: Very small families in the British fertility decline, Population Studies 52(2): 177–199. doi: 10.1080/0032472031000150366

This is an online journal article. To find it I used the doi to search through Search it, there are several full-text options available, meaning WSUV has a subscription.

Part 3.

Overall, figuring out what a citation is isn't too difficult if you just know where to look. Being able to recognize title IN book was really helpful to understand that the source came from a book, or chapter. Searching using the ISBN, or doi was also rather fun because even if the title was wrong or missing using the ISBN to find it is really helpful. I also learned that you can search for articles using the doi in WSUV's search it engine. Overall, requesting any of these articles/books is relatively straight forward, the only hiccup I have is not knowing quite how to request through inter-library loan.
