This document provides research tips organized under the headings "Wikipedia," "Reference Books," "Google Scholar," "Library Databases," and "Social Media." It instructs researchers to use concise search terms connected with "AND," utilize links for "Cited by" and "Related Articles," and refine searches. Researchers are encouraged to evaluate credibility by checking references and browsing related topics. The document models applying the tips through "example" searches and prepares students to demonstrate searches in assigned groups.
Discover! Library Catalogues and RA ServicesLaurel Tarulli
The document discusses how the Halifax Public Libraries' new library catalogue, called Discover, can be used as a readers' advisory tool. It provides several ways reference librarians can help patrons find similar titles to ones they enjoyed, including searching by genre, facets like themes, and connecting patrons to others with similar reading interests through the My Discoveries feature. Local librarians are encouraged to contribute content like reviews, tags, and read-alike lists to help patrons discover new materials.
This document provides guidance on developing a research strategy for SOC 116 students. It discusses narrowing topics, developing keyword searches, and using appropriate research tools and databases. Key advice includes focusing a topic on one manageable issue, using related terms and phrases for searching, and testing various keyword combinations to find relevant scholarly journal articles in ProQuest Research Library. The goal is to help students conquer the world through effective research.
This 90 minutes workshop is the first part of the library training series, designed to enhance the library knowledge of the front-line support staff in basic search skills.

It provides tips for writing like using evidence from sources, keeping your own voice, and revising thoroughly.

KNOW WHAT SOURCES YOU NEED
KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR THEM
I’ve put together an assignment guide for your research paper. There you can find the full assignment, strategies for researching and writing your paper, and information and tutorials about locating books, e-books, articles, and other sources from the library catalog, databases, and on the web, as well information on citations, formatting, and avoiding plagiarism.
The GHC Libraries website is where you can access the library catalog and subscription databases, find research and assignment guides, request books through interlibrary loan, and most importantly, get in touch with a librarian if you have any questions about your research.
Researching and writing a long paper can be very overwhelming! This is a basic strategy to help you with your research. You might find similar, slightly different strategies elsewhere. The point of this list is to break down the research process into simple steps to keep you from getting lost. Some of the steps might seem obvious, and as you start to research, you may find that you want to do some of them in a different order. The more you research, the more you’ll find out what works for you.

Some of the steps might seem obvious, and as you start to research, you may find that you want to do some of them in a different order. The more you research, the more you’ll find out what works for you.
Hopefully, at this point, you’ve read through the possible topics for your assignment. I’m going to use this topic from your assignment as an example, and then after we go through all the steps, we’re going to use a different sample topic. If you choose this topic because it seems like all of the work has been done for you already, I just want to point out that all of the hard work is the actual analysis and writing and we’re not actually going to be doing any of that today, so make sure you pick a topic that interests you.

So in this case, background information means two things: you need to locate and read at least one primary work, either the novel or play or collection of short stories that you will be analyzing. For the topic that has to do with themes in a scripted television series, you will need to watch the show! You also want to find some basic background information about the author and their work so that you can develop a research question or basic thesis.
To find the primary work, you can search a specific title if you know it, or to see what the library owns, do an author search
Do search of “sherman alexie” author in GHC Gil, point out author entry, explain wikipedia
Point out WorldCat (if you are looking for a specific title and want to see if you can get it from a nearby public library)
Interlibrary loan (works for books and articles)

Interlibrary loan (works for books and articles)
Keyword search GALILEO to see “Research Starters,” point out Credo Reference, point out again that anything you read on Wikipedia needs to be independently verified, but it can be a great place to find bibliographies, cast lists, etc.
“Martin Luther” not “Martin Luther King”
Try the same searches in new locations, try different combinations of terms
Not books by the author, but books about his work
GALILEO SEARCH “sherman alexie” AND humor, navigate to ADVANCED SEARCH
Show how Boolean works, search on same line to have () put around
Show tab in GALILEO and on Library Website
Show Academic Search Complete
Show Bloom Literary Reference Center
If you want to write about themes in a scripted drama, you might want to pick one that you’ve already watched, just to save yourself time.
Need to watch Mad Men?
If you don’t have a Netflix account, WorldCat for local libraries (public libraries are a great source for free DVDs your college’s library doesn’t own)
30161
What do you want to say about the author’s writing? What will you be analyzing?
We will talk about the subject databases in a moment: you might want to look at both “Theater and Performing Arts” and “Literature and Literary Criticism”
Sometimes it can be hard to come up with a NOT statement, and that’s because you really only want to use it if you are seeing something over and over like you want to exclude.
Do a search in GIL-Universal for “Mad Men” subject
Do GALILEO search for “mad men” AND (capitalism or consumerism)
How can we make this easy? (Prompt for citation tool)
