The document provides guidance on conducting research at Arlington High School's library, outlining the 7 steps of the research process and how to use the library catalog and databases to find relevant books, periodicals, and other materials. It describes the library's resources including over 400,000 items in the catalog and access to over 20 million items through OhioLink. Students are guided through developing search strategies, evaluating results, and the importance of citing sources in their research.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Arlington High School:
The Sixties
KATHLEEN BARIL, DIRECTOR, HETERICK MEMORIAL LIBRARY
JENNIFER DONLEY, KNOWLEDGE ARCHITECT AND CATALOGING LIBRARIAN
3. What we will cover
•How to construct a research strategy
•How to find books in the library’s catalog
•How to use library databases to find information
from periodicals, newspapers and journals on your
topic.
4. What the library offers:
•~400,000 items in POLAR, the ONU library catalog
•~20,000,000 items in OhioLink
•260 Databases
•400+ print periodicals
•Tens of thousands of electronic journal titles
•Juvenile, Young Adult, and Graphic Novel collections
•DVDs, CDs, streaming audiovisuals, and streaming music
5. How to do research:
Seven Steps of the Research Process
Step 1: Identify and develop your topic
Step 2: Find background information
Step 3: Use catalogs to find books and media
Step 4: Find internet resources (if appropriate for the assignment)
Step 5: Use databases to find periodical articles
Step 6: Evaluate what you find
Step 7: Cite what you find
Amended with permission by the Librarians at the Olin and Uris Libraries of Cornell University
6. How to start your research
•Identify main concepts or keywords
•Test the topic – look for keywords and synonyms and related terms
for the information sought
• Subject headings in catalogs
• Built-in thesauri in many databases
• Reference sources
• Textbooks, lecture notes, readings
• Internet
• Librarians, instructors
9. Library Catalog Content
Materials commonly listed in catalogs:
•Books and E-books
•Maps
•Music Scores
•Audiovisual materials
•Government documents
•Increasingly links to resources on the Internet
Not newspaper and magazine articles
11. Major Types of Searching by Concept- Keyword
•Looks in several locations (usually subject, article title,
abstracts or contents)
•Does not require an exact match
•Generates comparatively large number of hits (not precise)
•Good if you are not familiar with terminology
12. Major Types of Searches by Concept- Subject
•Looks in one place – subject
•Usually requires an exact match between your term
and a pre-set list of terms
•Precise
•Can be used after keyword search has identified
specific subjects
13. POLAR: Library Catalog
In the material’s record:
1. Click on subject headings to
find more books on the same
subject.
2. Contents are usually the
names of the chapter titles,
scan to decide if you want to
check out the book.
3. Sometimes a summary or
abstract is included that
provides a brief synopsis of the
book.
14. Databases
•Used mostly for locating newspaper and magazine
articles.
•Some databases are multidisciplinary and some
are subject-specific.
•Some are available to general public via InfOhio
and OPLIN.
16. Magazines or Popular Periodicals
• Glossy pages and lots of pictures
• Edited by magazine editors
• Articles usually written by staff journalists
• Short articles
• Targeted to general audiences
Scholarly Journals/Periodicals
• Peer-reviewed
• Longer
• Citations/Bibliography
• Written by scholars, experts in the field of study
• Targeted to scholars, students in a particular field of
study
Popular Versus Scholarly Journals
17. Find Articles - Databases:
Boolean Operators
Use Boolean operators in library databases and catalogs when searching to find
more relevant results.
AND – Use for narrowing a search.
Example: Woodstock and Jimi Hendrix
OR – Use to expand a search.
Example: United States or America
NOT – Use to exclude a search term.
Example: Mexico not New Mexico
18. General Database:
Academic Search Complete
Limit your search by date,
language and type of
publication.
Refine your search by
changing keywords and
looking for relevant subject
headings in the results.
19. Finding Articles – full text articles
Academic Search Complete (+ all Ebsco
Databases)
20. Databases: America History and Life
America History and Life uses
the same interface as
Academic Search Complete.
21. Printing, Downloading, Saving
•The library’s catalog and most databases allow you to mark
entries and then save or e-mail them.
•If you have a flash memory device, you can save articles to
it.
•Today, you should be able to print without charge in the
labs.
22. Final Tips for Research
•Brainstorm keywords or create a concept map before beginning your
research.
•Find books in the library catalog and articles in library databases.
•Evaluate what you find and make sure it fits your research needs.
•Do not forget to cite your sources!
•Good luck!
