For this discussion question, you are asked to retrieve and review the required reading noted below (refer to the Readings and Assignments page for information on Week 2 readings). This article is available in the South University Online Library.

This will walk you through the steps needed to locate a journal article via the South University Online Library. Many of your reading assignments require that you retrieve the article and this week you will have an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the library.
