This document provides an overview of resources for finding journal articles and managing citations, including:
1) Databases and the library catalogue for searching and finding full-text articles;
2) Using reference lists to find additional relevant articles through citation chasing;
3) RefWorks for saving, organizing, and sharing references and generating bibliographies.
Information containers and citing
This document discusses information containers and how they impact research. It defines an information container as anything that holds information, such as books, articles, blogs, emails and tweets. The type of container determines the depth and type of information it contains. For example, a tweet provides immediacy but little analysis, while an encyclopedia gives an overview but less detail. The container also dictates how the information within it is cited based on citation styles like APA, MLA and Chicago. Choosing the right container depends on the type of information needed. The document provides examples of containers for different research needs and describes scholarly versus non-scholarly sources.
Keyword Searching
Keyword searching involves using keywords or phrases to search online journal databases in a literal way, returning only results that contain the exact keywords. Since concepts can be expressed differently, synonyms and different keyword combinations must often be tried to find all relevant results, as the database looks for keywords anywhere in the record such as the title, author name, or subject headings. The example shows how to search broadly or narrowly for information on the benefits of college students volunteering in the United States using different keyword combinations.
Harvard referencing
Harvard referencing is a method of acknowledging sources of information and quotations used in an assignment. It supports arguments and helps avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting another's ideas or words as your own, whether from books, articles or websites, and is a form of cheating. In-text citations identify sources in the body of the text using the author's surname and year, while a bibliography lists all sources cited at the end of the assignment in alphabetical order. Sources are referenced consistently to enable the reader to locate the original items.
Tools, Techniques, and Tips for Managing Research
Libraries traditionally provide research materials and information to communities in various formats. LSU Libraries offers guidance and tools for navigating this information landscape, including bibliographic management software, social tools, updates and alerts, and file storage and backup. These tools from LSU Libraries, like EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero, and Mendeley, help researchers organize references and citations.
Plagiarism
This document defines plagiarism as copying another's work and presenting it as one's own without proper citation or acknowledgment. This includes copying text verbatim from sources without quotes or rephrasing others' ideas without referencing the original author. To avoid plagiarism, students should take detailed notes of all sources used, paraphrase information in their own words, and use the Harvard referencing system for both in-text citations and reference lists.

Let it go: Exposing digital collections for accessible and useful data
How can you open data from a digital repository and make it discoverable, accessible, and combinable based on the researcher’s needs? And how do you usefully combine digital repository, library catalog, and library web site data so researchers can collect, re-purpose, and re-mix the data in support of their research? This snapshot, presented at the Digital Library Federation Forum in October 2014 discusses both work completed to expose repository data and plans to combine that data with library catalog and web site data to create a Solr-indexed data source that preserves context and provides thorough, useful, and sharable access to the information, collections, and resources at the Indiana University Libraries.
