Editor's Notes
- #5 ALL STUDENTS DO THIS LIVE. NEXT – NOW CLICK ON LIBRARY CATALOGUE LINK
- #7 DEMO: Keyword search, Title search TASK FOR STUDENTS: 2 minutes to try the 3 searches, then feed back to class. WHEN TAKING FEEDBACK: Explain how to find books on shelf. Note that Dacie and Lewis is also an e-book. Note blue link. Note that the journal is available with two date ranges.Note blue links.
- #9 EVERYONE: Go back to My Study then choose Summon link. EXPLAIN: Hold up a print journal to explain coverage of Summon as opposed to Library Catalogue. Explain the MDX cookie. Let’s have a quick look at Summon, but specific journal databases are more appropriate for postgraduate students. STUDENTS DO: Search for chemotherapy Try refining tools: Full-text, Content type, Pub date.
- #10 EVERYONE: Go back to My Study then choose Library Subject Guides link. POINT OUT: Home page > Appointments, Referencing guide Resources > Catalogue, Summon, Databases, Web resources Information Skills > Powerpoints, Referencing
- #11 ASK THE STUDENTS TO FIND THESE ELEMENTS IN THE RECORD: Name of first author Title of article Title of journal in which it is printed Year and Volume Is there an Abstract? HOLD UP: A print journal, to help explain the elements you are asking them to find
- #13 QUESTION: ‘The role of bacterial infection in tumour development’
- #14 GIVE OUT HANDOUTS. GIVE THEM THE TOPIC: ‘The role of bacterial infection in tumour development’ (For Medical Microbiology students. See other two worksheets for Cellular Pathology and Clinical Biochemistry topics...) EXPLAIN THE FORM AND ASK THEM TO FILL IN PART 2, IN PAIRS (ALSO SEE TOP OF PAGE 2 FOR TIPS).
- #15 TAKE FEEDBACK ON PART 2 and show the example above. NOW DISCUSS PART 3 altogether – e.g. Date range, age group(s), peer reviewed (more later)..., publication types (e.g. Original research article vs. review article.)
- #16 ALL STUDENTS DO THIS LIVE.
- #17 ALL STUDENTS DO THIS WITH YOU: Type in ‘bacterial infection’ Tick the box ‘Suggest subject terms’. (EXPLAIN: MESH subject headings and their benefits) Now select the MESH term ‘Bacterial Infections’, click ‘Explode’ (to include different sub-headings about different infections), then click ‘Search database’. ASK STUDENTS: How many articles has it found? NOTICE: the ‘Search History’ box halfway down the screen. Now do another search for ‘tumo#r’ in the top box AND ‘growth’ in the second box. Look again at the number of results. Now, in the Search History, tick S1 and S2 then combine them using the AND button. You should get 1,400+ results. View some of your results and find your search terms highlighted. Encourage the students to try some other synonyms etc from their worksheets, combine their search results with AND or OR, and see what they get. WANDER AROUND and help. For example: tumo#rigenesis (means growth of tumours) Neoplasm* AND growth (neoplasm means tumour)
- #20 Do a QUICK DEMO of each. STUDENTS try some searches like the ones we did on Medline, then feedback the pros and cons of each database.
- #21 ONLY IF THERE’S TIME: Show students how to link Google Scholar to Middlesex, and explain benefits.
