Tips:

• Pay attention to the sections below the text (Reference Lists, Further Readings, etc). These can help you discover the original theorist. 
• Sometimes there are links below the citations that will take you to an article if we have it in our Library.
• Be sure to explore the other options in the Encyclopedias and Dictionaries databases!
