    Notes on slide 1

    Do you know where are the books which you can borrow in Central Library? Did you see any on your way to the theaterette? There are many collections located at different parts of library. The books collection which you can browse and borrow is on level 3, which is one floor below. RBR (Reserved Books/Readings) books are recommended readings for some modules, and are located behind Loans Desk 1 on this level. (Go through table with students.) Apart from books and RBR, there are other collections on level 5, namely the current and bound journals, reference collection & Singapore-Malaysia Collection. During the 3D tour later, you’ll learn how you can explore the library virtually. (Briefly show students the handout “Browsing the collection” so that they know about the Library of Congress classification scheme that we use.)

    45. Subject search articles
    46. A sampling of databases
    47. BOOLEAN searching
    48. Build your search: Boolean operators
      AND is used to indicate that both terms must be present
      OR is used to indicate that either terms may be present
      NOT is used to indicate that one term must not be present
      Casino AND
      gambling
      Casino
      Gambling
      Casino OR
      gambling
      casino
      gambling
      Casino
      Gambling
      Gambling
      NOT
      online
      online
      Gambling
    49. Build your search:Truncation *, Round parentheses ( )
      Use * for variant forms of term
      Gambl* = gambling, gamblers, gambler
      Casino* = casinos, casino
      Use quotation marks
      “Social cost”
      Use ( ) to execute commands inside innermost parentheses first
      “social cost” and (casino or gamblers)
    50. Proximity operators (advanced AND)
      Proximity operators allow you to retrieve items where one search term is within n (where n is a number) words of another.
      Near Operator — finds words within x number of words from each other, regardless of the order in which they occur.
      Example: cost n2 gambling would find “cost of gambling" or “gambling on cost" but not “The cost of very long term addiction to gambling”
      Within Operator (Wx) — finds words within x number of words from each other, in the order they are entered in the search.
      Example: cost w2 gambling would find “Cost of gambling” but not “gambling cost”
    51. Consistency of operators across databases
      Amount of consistency (lowest)
      Proximity operators( near, within)
      Truncation and wildcard ( * , $)
      Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT)
    52. Let’s search Scopus!
      What are the economic impacts of
      Legalized
      casino gaming?
      “Economic impact*” or
      Cost*
      Casino* or gambl*
      (“Economic impact*” or Cost*) and (casino* or gambl*)
    53. Scopus

      Coverage: 1841-1996 (17 million records) , 1996- (16 million records)
      Largest abstract and citation database covering science, technical, medial, social science
