3.3 How Do I Find Information?
Your Road Map to Success: Section 3.3
Learning Outcome 3.3: Explain how to search for information in a digital university library and on the
Internet and determine what type of search is required based on an information need.
Why is this important?
Mastering this outcome will help strengthen your researching skills and ability to locate information both
on the Internet and in a digital university library. For example, Jamar’s first visit to the digital library was
frustrating. He couldn’t find anything related to the specific topic he wanted to research. After consulting
a librarian and learning more about searching, he realized he had been using the wrong databases. His
second visit was much more fruitful; he found all he needed in just a few minutes!
How does this relate to your success in this course?
Mastering this learning outcome will help you locate the information you need to do your assignments
quickly and efficiently so that you can balance the needs of school, work, family, and other commitments.
It will also give you the tools to find the answers you need—whether you are researching a school
assignment or seeking advice for yourself or your family.
All libraries have a system for organizing and accessing their collection that is specific to the resources they
carry and the communities they serve. Most public and academic libraries use electronic catalogs that allow users
to search their collections online. An online catalog is a digital record that contains all of the physical items
located within a library. It may also contain a record of the ebooks and journals a library carries, though typically
not its databases. These catalogs are searchable by title, author, subject, keyword, and more. Libraries have also
shared their catalogs, making them available online through WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/default.jsp

and contains bibliographic information on the holdings of over 10,000 libraries worldwide.
A purely digital library does not have a physical collection and therefore does not use a catalog. Instead, it uses
several databases. A database is a digital collection of stored information that has been organized, often by
several criteria, such as author, title, and subject. Databases include abstracts, full-text documents, images,
statistics, and more. Some databases contain general information on a variety of topics, and others contain
information only within a specific discipline or field. Think of a database like a virtual library shelf. It contains
many of the same resources you would find on a shelf in a physical library but in a digital form.

3.3 How Do I Find Information?
Your Road Map to Success: Section 3.3
Learning Outcome 3.3: Explain how to search for information in a digital university library and on the
Internet and determine what type of search is required based on an information need.
Why is this important?
Mastering this outcome will help strengthen your researching skills and ability to locate information both
on the Internet and in a digital university library. For example, Jamar’s first visit to the digital library was
frustrating. He couldn’t find anything related to the specific topic he wanted to research. After consulting
a librarian and learning more about searching, he realized he had been using the wrong databases. His
second visit was much more fruitful; he found all he needed in just a few minutes!
How does this relate to your success in this course?
Mastering this learning outcome will help you locate the information you need to do your assignments
quickly and efficiently so that you can balance the needs of school, work, family, and other commitments.
It will also give you the tools to find the answers you need—whether you are researching a school
assignment or seeking advice for yourself or your family.
All libraries have a system for organizing and accessing their collection that is specific to the resources they
carry and the communities they serve. Most public and academic libraries use electronic catalogs that allow users
to search their collections online. An online catalog is a digital record that contains all of the physical items
located within a library. It may also contain a record of the ebooks and journals a library carries, though typically
not its databases. These catalogs are searchable by title, author, subject, keyword, and more. Libraries have also
shared their catalogs, making them available online through WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/default.jsp

and contains bibliographic information on the holdings of over 10,000 libraries worldwide.
