- 6. Questions?
- 7. Why Search Databases? Smaller “bucket” to begin from. Published = someone else reviewed and edited Database Access – you have to log in because these are subscriptions! Better sources – but you still need to evaluate! Google
- 8. Databases! If you can use Facebook, you can use a database. Facebook = Database Facebook = Giant collection of information that you know how to navigate Academic Databases = Giant collection of information that you don’t quite yet know how to navigate. (but you will!)
- 9. A list of records on Facebook. Do you get a lot of information here? How would I get more information on each person?
- 10. List of records in Academic Search Premier Do you get a lot of informationh ere? How would I get more information on each item?
- 11. Record
- 12. Record Record = fancy way of saying “basic information on a particular item” On Facebook, a record is a profile that contains your basic information. In an article database, the record is where you will find the basic info on the book or article. Think of the item record as the “Item Profile”
- 13. A Facebook Profile = an Item Record You clicked on someone, and viola! WAY MORE INFO! Information Available: hometown, workplace, languages, current town, likes. These are Fields
- 14. A Facebook Profile = an Item Record You clicked on and item, and viola! WAY MORE INFO! Information Available: author, source, subject terms, volume, issue, pages. These are Fields
- 15. FIELD
- 16. FIELD Field = fancy way of saying “piece of info” When you fill out a form, you fill out fields: Name, marital status, address, phone number In an article database, the fields are about the article: Author, journal, date, volume, issue number This is the info you need to create APA citations!
- 17. A Facebook Tag = A Subject Heading What’s a Tag? What happens if I click on a tag?
- 18. A Facebook Tag = A Subject Heading What happens if I click on a subject heading?
- 19. Subject Heading
- 20. Subject Heading Subject heading = fancy way of saying “a way to group together things that are alike” When you tag on Facebook: You clump together things on the same person In an article database, subject headings Clump together articles on the same topic So if you find a subject heading on your topic and click on it, you are taken to a whole list of potential
- 21. Facebook limiter = Databases limiter How do you narrow down search in Facebook? What happens if I click one of these boxes? Do more, or fewer results show up if I click one?
- 22. Facebook limiter = Databases limiter What happens if I click one of these boxes? Do more, or fewer results show up if I click one?
- 23. Limiter/Filter
- 24. Limiter/Filter Limiter or Filter = a fancy way of saying “ways to narrow your search” When you limit on Facebook: You look for people from JUST the same school or work, or town Whey you limit in a database: You look for items that are JUST scholarly, or from a certain year, or by a certain author You reduce the number of items in your search, so it’s easier to find what you’re looking for!
- 25. But Which one should I search?
