I&LS PGDE Induction & Referencing 2016 final

Editor's Notes

• #3: Here is what we are going to go cover today. We will introduce you to our staff and the services that we can offer you. There will be a quick overview of some of our databases, although the list is long and we won’t be able to cover them all, but it will give you a sense of what the Library has to offer. Next we will take a quick tour of the website and how to search for material through Cambridge University. We will then cover everyone’s favourite topic – Academic integrity and referencing. We will finish up with highlighting some extras about our services.
• #4: I know we have said it before, and I’m sure everyone has been saying it, but welcome! You have a picked a wonderful place to study (we are slightly biased) and we are thrilled you are here and we want to help you get the most out of your experience while studying at Cambridge.
• #5: Cambridge is a magical place and it reminds some of us of Hogwarts.
• #6: Some of you have a chance to experience a little bit of college life at Cambridge and dine in some ancient places.
• #7: We even have the floating stairs like Hogwarts and if you watch carefully they move. But we don’t want you to take just our word for it… We have asked some of our students from last year’s cohort what advice would you give students about using the Information Centre.
• #8: Here is the link to our video posted on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/QAm4s893JHs
• #9: And here is the team!
• #10: We have Ange Fitzpatrick, our fearless leader. Ange oversees the Library and the staff and is the force behind our wonderful selection of databases.
• #11: Andrew is the deputy librarian and he overseas the physical library, is an expert at building Ikea furniture, and is in charge when Ange is not around.
• #12: Katie is one of the newest members of the team as the User Experience librarian. She is the dedicated librarian for all distance learning courses (including yours!). Part of Katie’s role is to use ethnographic research to improve the services to students. You can reach out to her with any question at k.hughes@jbs.cam.ac.uk.
• #13: And here are our library assistants – Sarah, Natasha, and Claudia (and our newest member Emily, who hasn’t yet been photographed). They are the ones who do the real work around here and are always happy to help and answer any questions you may have. Come by and visit us! We really are a very friendly bunch of people!
• #14: There Information and Library team are here to support you and your research needs. The following are some of our core values:
• #15: We are focused on working closely with your team to make sure that information is available at your point of need.
• #16: We realize that not everyone’s needs are the same. We pride ourselves on offering you a personalized service. By the end of the course we will know most if not all you by your first name.
• #17: Again we try to ensure that we offer you support when and if you need it. By the way this is a shot of the Cambridge women’s rugby team – and whatever they say goes.
• #18: Part of our service is the ability to respond to your needs quickly. We make an effort to respond to your emails immediately. Even if you ask us a tricky research question we will follow-up with you on our progress so you aren’t waiting to hear from us.
• #19: Although we have a physical library here in the judge (and we hope you will all visit), we aim to extend our services and the library to you no matter where you are in the world…
• #20: And on any device you are using.
• #21: As part of our service, we have provided you with access to a wide-range of databases. While studying at the Judge, you will have access to more data than probably at any other point in time. We have one of the largest selections of databases across Europe. But of course this doesn’t come cheap…
• #22: About 92% of our collection budget goes toward online databases.
• #23: This works out to about £360k per year on our databases. We hope that you will take advantage of the data that we have to offer.
• #24: Here are some of our more popular and well-known databases. Here is a brief overview of our top 5 databases that cover a range of topics.
• #25: If you are looking for information on industry research then IBIS World is a good place to start. IBIS World has downloadable reports covering industries in the UK, US, China, Australia, and on a global-scale.
• #26: Mintel Academic is one of our newest databases and is a great resource for consumer and market reports for the UK and European retail industry. .
• #27: We do have four dedicated Bloomberg terminals on offer to our students in the Information Center. So if you are in or nearCambridge, please don’t hesitate to come by and use them. We do offer training for anyone who wants it.
• #28: If you can’t access Bloomberg, then S&P Capital IQ is a good alternative for financial information and company profiles. This database requires a separate login and you should be receiving an email with all of the details. If you forget your password, no worries, use your @cam email address and click on the ‘Forgot my password’ link.
• #29: We also provide access to Thomson One Banker which has international company information including investext broker reports. Please be aware that this database only works on Internet Explorer – say hi to the 1990s.
• #30: Finally there is Business Source Complete which is a great resource for articles including scholarly articles, company profiles, and access to Harvard Business Review.
• #32: So just to summarize… If you are looking for company and financial information these are some of the databases you may want to use. Again Bloomberg and Datastream are available in the Information Centre.
• #33: If however, you need information on industries and markets – you could try these databases. Eurmonitor or Passport GMID, is a great resource for consumer data and market reports, the database may be a bit confusing to navigate but there is handy search box.
• #34: If you are looking for ejournals then Business Source Complete and ABI Inform are good places to go. Again Business Source Complete also has Harvard Business Review which can be found under ‘publications’.
• #35: The best place to start for news and articles is Factiva. Factiva can provide you with access to newspapers such as the Financial Times, New York Times and the Wall Street Journal among many others. We have also added EMIS which provides news and industry reports on emerging markets.
• #36: For access to our databases, please visit our webpage: http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/faculty-research/information-library-services/databases/ The database list provides you with a link to the database, a short summary of what is in the database (there is so much more), and how to access it when you are off-campus. If you are having any problems please don’t hesitate to contact us for help!
• #37: We also wanted to mention Google Scholar. Now that you are at Cambridge, you can customize Google Scholar to access material through Cambridge University by going to ‘Settings’, then ‘Library links’ and searching for the University of Cambridge. This way you will be able to use the power of the Google search engine and the databases subscribed to by the Library. We also have tips and tricks to search Google more effectively.
• #38: On a more serious note please be aware that these databases are for academic purposes only. They are not to be used for playing the stock market or for your work outside of your projects in your course. Our suppliers do track use of the database and block offenders. This can also lead to subscriptions being pulled completely including for the entire university. After your time here you are ‘commercial’ again. There are also limits on how many reports you can download from a database. So if you are not sure what you are looking for, first browse it online and once you have found the articles or reports, then download them for your own personal use. Finally, please be aware that you can not upload pdf’s of articles or reports that you have downloaded from the databases on the VLE. This is a violation of our copyright agreements and we will have to remove the material. If you do want to share something with your classmates, you are more than welcome to post a link.
• #39: The most important piece of paper you will have received this week is your Raven password and ID. You will need this to access the majority of the databases. If you have not already done so you can change your password.
• #40: Here is a short tour of our website which can be found here: http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/faculty-research/information-library-services/. To search through Cambridge Library Catalogues: http://search.lib.cam.ac.uk/ (Please note that Cambridge is updating their library search and it is due to change sometime this term.) In the library catalogue, you can gain access to your account using the 5 digit alphanumeric code on the bottom of you barcode on your university card and your last name. As a PGDE student you are entitled to borrow up to 10 items from the library for 2 weeks at a time. You can renew the book up to 6 times before having to bring it back. Please be aware that these books can be recalled and you will have 1 week to return the book (which can be sent by mail). We do have fines at the Library and they are .50p per day. At the bottom of our website you will see a box that says ‘Chat with us’. This is our instant chat feature where you can speak with a real-live librarian during our staffed hours. If we are not here, the box will change and you can email us a message which we will answer when we are back in the Library.
• #41: Now we are going to change tracks a little and discuss Academic Integrity and Referencing. We will discuss plagiarism and how Cambridge views plagiarism. There will be some examples of plagiarism at CJBS. Then we will show you a tool on how to manage your references. Afterwards we will briefly discuss how Cambridge University checks for plagiarism and what might happen if you are caught. There will be a quick overview of the Harvard Referencing Style which is the preferred style for CJBS.
• #42: Here are some examples of famous instances of plagiarism: Back in 2013, Jane Goodall took information from Wikipedia and other sites and used them for a book she was writing.
• #43: Shia LeBeouf took the plot for a film he made from a famous comic book author’s work (Daniel Clowes) without giving any acknowledgement.
• #44: A $10 million lawsuit claimed that Justin Bieber and Usher copied parts of a song written by two Virginia songwriters.
• #45: US Vice President Joe Biden stole lines from other politicians’ speeches including Neil Kinnock, Hubert Humphrey (VP), Robert Kennedy, and JFK himself!
• #46: These are examples of actual or potential acts of plagiarism. There are a range of reasons for plagiarizing someone else’s work from deliberate & blatant to accidental & less clear. Plagiarism is the practice of using someone else’s words or ideas and presenting them as your own, but Cambridge is special and has its own definition...
• #47: Above is Cambridge’s definition of plagiarism. Please focus on the term: “irrespective of intent to deceive”. While you may not consider yourself to be an academic – especially if you are on a professional course – the University does. It has taken a long time to build its academic reputation and it will protect that reputation so it takes plagiarism very seriously. There are many different kinds of plagiarism. Here are few examples that you may not be aware of:
• #48: If you have used the same words, same phrases, and written it in the same order as the original this is paraphrasing and without a proper citation would be considered plagiarism. It is expected that you use other people’s work to inform your own, but when doing this you must reference the source properly rather than trying to make it appear like your own work.
• #49: You will certainly have a lot of chances to talk with your fellow students, in fact this is encouraged. Networking is a really cool part of your course. However, if you do discuss a research paper that is meant to be submitted individually just be aware that you write the paper using your own words and ideas. Be sure that you are clear that it is your idea and you plan to include it in your work. It will look suspicious if a group of students submit a paper that looks and has similar arguments. This is a form of plagiarism.
• #50: Autoplagiarism also known as self-plagiarism is also not allowed. Sounds painful. We are often asked if it is possible to plagiarize yourself. Yes, it is. If you are reusing any part of a paper that you have previously written you must reference it. If you do not cite the material then you could be found guilty of plagiarising yourself.
• #51: Now we have some real-life examples of intentional and unintentional forms of plagiarism that have happened at the Judge.
• #52: Here is an essay submitted by an MBA student. Notice the writing in red? All of the words that appear in red are plagiarised from a market research report taken from one of our databases. The student wrote a great opening sentence, but s/he did little else but cut and past the rest of the material. It’s ridiculous, it’s really rare and its an obvious intent to deceive. It reads like a report, not an essay-it’s daft (in an English accent). S/he was caught.
• #53: Here are more subtle examples of plagiarism in an essay and are probably unintentional. They probably ran out of time or a were a bit sloppy taking notes. In the first paragraph, the writer has cited the author of the work he was paraphrasing, but failed to put in a correct citation (it’s missing the year). In the second paragraph, the writing in red highlights direct quotes from another piece of work. This time the writer has failed to add in quotation marks and an appropriate citation with page number. In the third paragraph, the writer has taken original ideas from someone else, but again has failed to cite them. All of these are examples of plagiarism that although may be “irrespective of intent to deceive” are still plagiarized.
• #54: We have seen some examples of plagiarism and what not to do. Plagiarism is really really easy to avoid. All you need to do is reference material that you have quoted, paraphrased or been inspired by to avoid plagiarizing. There are many many ways to organize your references. You may have a way already, but there are tools out there that can help.
• #55: There are a number of tools that can be used to manage references such as Mendelay, Refwords, Microsoft, and EndNote. We suggest using Zotero as it is a free open source software that works well with our databases and we can provide you with support. Zotero can be downloaded at zotero.org. It works well with Firefox, but there are plug-ins for Chrome and Safari. We will now do a short demonstration on how it works: Since Cambridge is special, it also has its own twist on Harvard Referencing style. There is a file that we will provide you with on the VLE that can be dragged into Zotero. Zotero is a great tool, but its not perfect so we do advise you review your citations and references before submitting your paper.
• #56: If you already have a way to manage your references then that is perfectly ok (even the old fashion way). We just want to make sure you are aware of citations and references as you start your research.
• #57: Here is the Harvard Referencing Style…
• #58: Harvard referencing is the preferred style at CJBS. It is possible to use other styles, but check with your lecturer first. But always be consistent. The Harvard style is essentially: in-text citation with the author’s last name, year, and page number if it is a direct quote wrapped in parentheses. At the end of the paper is a full bibliography. If you have a cited a work you must include a bibliography. If you have any un-cited work that influenced your argument, then you can include that as well. PLEASE BE AWARE that there are NO FOOTNOTES in Harvard referencing style.
• #59: Here is a quick example of referencing a direct quote for a book. Please take careful note of punctuation and italics.
• #60: Here is an example of an in-text citation for when you are paraphrasing.
• #61: We also have a database called Cite them Right that is available through database page that can help you format your references. The index above is good, but I would suggest you use the search box at the top right. It will provide you with information on how to cite a tweet, presentation slides, class notes, and much more.
• #62: You may be struggling to finish a paper and you don’t want to submit your work late because you are adding citations, so you ask how will I be found out? There are a few ways that markers use to catch plagiarism.
• #63: Everyone has a unique writing style and those marking your work will get used to it. If in the middle of your paper it suddenly changes, this is a red flag that something may not be right.
• #64: If your bibliography looks like this. It’s a good sign you are probably guilty of plagiarism. No one creates a completely original work without referencing other sources.
• #65: You have picked Cambridge because of the experts that are teaching you. The people assessing your work are experts in their field and are extremely well-read. You have to remember that people here at Cambridge who are assessing your work are experts in their field. They have read a vast amount and are familiar with the texts. They will probably recognize an idea or argument that someone else has written.
• #66: Cambridge University also uses a software called Turnitin. Unfortunately it does not provide students with access so that they can’t check their essays beforehand. Turnitin works by comparing your paper against the internet, previous papers at the Judge, and our databases to check for similarities.
• #67: How it works – here’s an example. Ironically this an essay about plagiarism that has been plagiarised from the internet. After comparing your work, it comes back with a similarity score. If your score is high that could be ok as long you referenced the sources. The university selects random papers to review in Turnitin.
• #68: What will happen to you if you are caught plagiarizing?
• #69: Percentage reduction. This is the best case scenario. Your grades may suffer if you are caught plagiarising.
• #70: There could be a formal investigation – internally within the Judge Business School – the course team and supervisors, will decide what to do next which could lead to a greater percentage reduction or expulsion.
• #71: Finally we have our own court of discipline for the most extreme cases. This is handled by university and is beyond the school’s control, so the school cannot help you. Just to let you know that the proceedings are conducted in Latin – hope you can understand colloquial Latin!
• #72: Why do we bother telling you all this? What is the purpose of referencing? Your work will always be informed by others and even if its in a very small way, your work will go on to inform future generations. Correct referencing allows anyone else to follow your train of thought to see how you reached your conclusions. It validates your work and adds credibility to your arguments.
• #73: Here are some useful links to the things we have been talking about including a blogpost and podcast on referencing and plagiarism.
• #74: Extra bonus features. We are considered the social media experts here at the Judge. We have been pioneers of social media channels from the very beginning…
• #75: Twitter… you can follow us @CjbsInfoLib for loads of great content such as relevant business stories or nice images of Cambridge. If you are new to Twitter we can help you get started, figure out how to use it for your research, or if move from a more personal account to a professional one.
• #76: We can offer help with updating your professional profile to ensure you are getting the most out of LinkedIn by looking over your profile and providing some suggestions.
• #77: We are also on Facebook and Instagram @CJBSInfoLib which is a great way to stay in touch and share.
• #78: Finally if you are inspired by our playlist we are on Spotify for a bit of fun (semi-serious).
• #79: As you might have gathered by the candy. We love shameless bribery. We are offering a prize for £20 Pizza Express voucher for whoever likes or follows us on our social media accounts by the end of Oct. Or if you’re not in the UK we can provide you with a comparable voucher.
• #80: As well as social media, we offer 1-2-1 or small group teaching. We can set up a meeting in person or remotely through Skype or any other channel. We can offer help and advice on starting your research project, getting the most out of our databases or on…
• #81: Research for an interview. Should you be going for an interview or talking to a major company, we can show you how to research a company or industry so you can be as prepared as possible.
• #82: The library aims to provide you with whatever you need, so here are some extra services we have for you…
• #83: If you are here and need power we have a range of chargers to borrow – for tablets, phones (iPhones and androids), macbooks, and MS Surfaces.
• #84: If you need a break or a time-out, we have an extensive DVD collection which you are welcome to borrow from. There is a great selection from cartoons to Game of Thrones.
• #85: Don’t worry if you don’t have a disc drive on your computer – we have portable players to connect to your laptop which you can borrow using your university card.
• #86: If movies aren’t your thing, you can relax with our fiction selection. We have recently expanded it to include short stories, popular fiction, and popular business reads.
• #87: We have a recommendations map in our I&LS (near the ground floor staircase). It has our favourite places to drink, eat, hang… If you have any suggestions, please let us know and we will add them to the map.
• #88: We are awesome! We are probably the best you will ever find, however, there are more libraries and study places available to you in Cambridge. Inspired by our recommendations map, the university has released a project online called SpaceFinder. If you Google ‘Spacefinder’ and ‘Cambridge’ it will pop up. Spacefinder allows you to filter by ideal working conditions and it includes coffee shops with strong wifi. Check it out!
• #89: Finally, we wish you fantastic success. Don’t be a stranger and please stop by to say hi!
• #90: Questions???
