Meeting With Margaret

I asked Margaret for help on research on altruism in online gaming. She gave me some helpful tips:

1. Searching on google scholar
– How to add “Getit@NYU” links next to your Google Scholar results: [http://guides.nyu.edu/google/scholar](http://guides.nyu.edu/google/scholar)
– it can be hiding under double carrot
– look under related articles and “cited by”

2. ACM digital library – it’s much smaller, tends to surface stuff you want faster
– right now the database is broken – so you can search but not read/DL some articles
– fun computer people famous for tech conferences
– you can expand your search to other publishers

3. Google Books
– lets you search inside of the book
– if you have something really specific, it could just be an essay within a book
– she did recommended I use the first two first since I found some great articles in there

Also as a side note, using quotation marks around phrases ie [altruism AND “online gaming”]
