Stanford does not have access to all of the journals cited in Africa-Wide NIPAD. To locate journals, try these first -
1. Socrates http://jenson.stanford.edu
2. E-Journals http://library.stanford.edu/ejournals
3. Bioline International. Has some full text journals on-line, free access. http://www.bioline.org.br/
4. SAePublications - if the journal is from South Africa
If none of the above have the journal, you may be able to borrow the article on Interlibrary Loan. You can find an on-line interlibrary loan form at http://library.stanford.edu/services/interlibrary_services/doc_delivery_forms.html
To find other libraries which might have the journal, look in World Catalog.
Quality Control
Africa-Wide NIPAD citations are not always the best.
For example, it has this citation -
Title: Consequences of the AIDS epidemic for children. Author: URASSA, M [MARC] Source: 1997, p 337-349
You probably won't find the above looking in an online catalog. The correct citation can be found by putting the title in Google.
Urassa, M et al. 1997. Consequences of the AIDS Epidemic for Children. In Ng'weshemi et al (eds). 1997 HIV Prevention and AIDS Care in Africa. A District Level Approach. Royal Tropical Institute. The Netherlands.
It's a chapter in a book. Stanford does not have the book. But if you look in World Catalog, U. C. Berkeley has it.
Some Index Terms Used by Africa-Wide NIPAD:
arv [antiretrovirals]
HIV//AIDS
human immunodeficiency virus
popular culture
television
novels
health education intervention
Mother-to-child transmission of HIV
vertical transmission
nevirapine
PMTCT Prevention of mother to child transmission
mother and child and HIV/AIDS
You can mark citations and e-mail them to yourself, print them out, download them to Endnote, ProCite etc. The most complete information is in the Full Records (includes index terms, author affiliation, sponsor of the research, database source from which the citation came.)
