Editor's Notes
- I’ve already said that the library plays an importaint role in an academic institution and I’ll try to answer why in this first part of our session. Search process
- What is the library’s main focus? Well we shall BI’s research: how? We select and buy a wide range of journals, databases, books, all in very close collaboration whith the researchers. BI is a resrarch institution and it is importaint that what we offer our students and researchers is relevant to the subject fields that are being tought and researched at the school. Teaching: Participate at all levels Bachelor, msc, doctoral programme Student’s own learning: physical library together with electronic resourses As you can see, the library is well integrated in the schools activities
- I mentioned the physical lirary which I hope you all have had a look at the facilities:
- Closed databases that require subscription in order to access. Use the library webpage as a portal to your literature search. Decide which sources are relevant for your research topic Webpage: potal to the resources Next: why subscribed databases?
- Next. Let’s have alook at a research topic and how it may be attacted:
- Lets say you have chosen to write about product plaenent in films. I guess that you all whatch a lot of films and have noticed the obvious placements you sometimes find. Here are some examples: Here we have Brad Pitt in the film called Snatch from 2000 and we can clearly see the package of marlboro cigarettes and if one looks very closely, one would probably recognize the bottle label in the background here. Now how would you start a literature research project for this assigment? Let’s hav a look at one suggestion. Obiviously, the amount and type of information has to be adapted to the type of assignment!
- Ad siste: Search process:
- Let’s have a look at the library homepage and do a search on the publishing industry in Norway. Gyldendal – employees,
- Oxford university press
- YOu have found the books, articles, websites, whatever you need and start writing. Do you have to cite your sources? The short answer to this is yes. In an academic environment you are expected to acknowledge and give credit to other’s work and writing. So the answer to why cite your sources is …. By doing this you avoid plagiarism. Now how can we define plagiarism?
- Different ways to show that what you write is taken from somebody else’s work: Quotation, paraphrazing, facts Let’s look at an example: Everybody knows that Norway is a big producer of oil. This is a commonly known fact and does not need to be named. However if you want to state how much we produce per day and how the production has developed over the years, you would have to state your source OPk let’s move on to how to site:
- Proper reference consists of two elements: Let me show you an example I’ve found in a student paper: Tell me what you think about it
- 3 refers to page 3 in this book
- End of part 1 – break: next part do some exercises together
