MPA - What are academic databases?
Academic databases are searchable online collections of academic research sources like journal articles and papers that are organized by subject. They provide in-depth peer-reviewed research from leading academics and journals in a discipline. Students can access academic databases through their library's website to build detailed searches and find the latest relevant research.
Using library resources
The document provides information on how students can use the library resources to develop their subject knowledge, strengthen arguments, and improve grades. It recommends that students use their subject guide as a gateway to find ebooks, textbooks, articles, and other resources. Students can search the library catalog or databases listed on their subject guide or the A-Z database list to access over 400 digital resources remotely 24/7 using their IT login credentials.
Corporate websites
Corporate websites can be good sources of company documents and information like financial data, press releases, sustainability reports, and SEC filings, though some data may require more searching. While providing key data, corporate websites may reflect internal biases and focus on favorable figures, and internal analysis lacks external criticism. Corporate websites are typically good for employer research, learning company values and strategy, and accessing free and easy to navigate key data.
Dra1009 search strategy v4
Planning your search strategy is a crucial stage of the research process. It will save time and make searching more structured and relevant. The document outlines 8 key steps to an effective search strategy: 1) Define your topic, 2) Identify keywords and phrases, 3) Identify synonyms and related terms, 4) Determine what type of information is needed, 5) Select information sources, 6) Run your search, 7) Evaluate results and refine search, 8) Obtain items. The first 5 steps involve planning before any actual searching. Breaking the strategy into steps will help clearly identify needed information and prepare for searching.
Induction finding resources
The document provides guidance on finding resources in a university library collection. It outlines three main options: 1) Subject LibGuides which provide subject-specific content and access to key databases; 2) Library Search, which allows searching across print and digital collections; and 3) the A-Z database list, which highlights all available academic databases. It emphasizes that over 50% of resources are now in digital format, so digital options like databases should be prioritized over print materials on shelves. Full-text access is available for most databases, but some content may require using document delivery services.
