List of possible articles
All of these are in the journal INTERFACES. You can find these online through the
Bellarmine Library. Go to the Library website and click on Electronic Journal Finder.
Search for INTERFACES, then click on Business Source Premier. This will allow you
access to articles through 2007.
INTERFACES is also available at the University of Louisville. (The location code is
X HD 28.I45.) They have this journal in hard copy up through 2008. They may have
electronic access for more recent issues.
Other articles could be used, but must be approved by me before you write your
paper. Bring me a copy and I will review it.
