Editor's Notes

  • #2  Welcome and intros.
  • #3 In the session: Resources available to help you find information for your dissertation Accessing and obtaining information How to search effectively Evaluating information Referencing
  • #4 You can find links to library resources and other services in MyLibrary.
  • #5  These are the things that I will be referring to in this workshop: Library Search: Use to search for information (books, journals etc) on your topic. MySubject: Gives you access to our library subject guides. Use these to find what resources are available including websites on a particular subject. Databases: Gives you access to specialist collections of journals and other resources in a particular subject area. You can access most of these through Summon, but searching a specialist resource might save you time. Inter Library Loans: Not a resource, but a way of getting hold of material that the library doesn’t hold or provide access to.
  • #6 More information about the range of resources available on the MyLibrary Subject Guide plus other useful information.
  • #7 We’re going to start off using Library Search. Explain what it is. Remember to sign-in.
  • #8 Use Library Search to carry out a literature search: Finding the information available on a subject Finding information to inform, underpin and shape your research Point out how to refine their search using: Full text Content type Subject terms Publication date Language etc Also how to create Harvard and IEEE references (Students can use either style for this module). Ask students to search for information for their project. Remember to use some of the keywords that we have discussed.
  • #9 Explain how they can broaden their search using an asterisk* e.g. given will find computer, computers, computing, computerisation, computation etc Explain how they can refine their search using “quotation marks”. These two refining tools work well on Summon, but can also be used on the Internet. These and other refining tools which can be used on the Internet are available on our EPQ LibGuide which you all have access to…….link on the screen.
  • #10 Help available here on using Library search.
  • #11 Students can also search individual databases. Choose individual database or select ‘Computing, Maths and Engineering’ or ‘Science’ from the drop-down menu. Or look at MyLibrary Subject Guides……..links on the page. Nat Sciences: Proquest Natural Sciences Collection Science Direct PubMed Medline Computing: IEEE Xplore Computer Source ACM Digital Library Science Direct
  • #13  Which articles have cited an earlier article ie. Way of looking forward in the literature-if have found excellent article, can use a citation index to see which articles have subsequently cited it Find articles on similar/related subjects: Citation implies subject relationship, so can find papers on a similar topic without using any keywords or subject terms Find out how many times a paper has been cited ie. gauge the usefulness/quality. esteem of a paper Determine which are the best journals in your field: citation data used to rank journals within particular subject areas…..useful way of seeing how journals perform in relation to others in the same subject area
  • #14 Citation data and journal citation reports available from Web of Knowledge. The world’s leading scholarly literature in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities and proceedings of international conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions Web of Science comprises of a number of journal databases including: Science Citation Index Expanded (1970-present) Social Sciences Citation Index (1970-present) Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present) Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science (1990-present) Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Social Science & Humanities (1990-present) Emerging Sources Citation Index (2015-present)
  • #15 Find journal articles, theses, books, and more, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Search across many disciplines Locate the full-text document through your library or on the web: Change settings etc to link to MDX resources. You only need to do this once on your own laptop/device, but need to be logged on to MyUniHub. Keep up with recent developments in any area of research Save items in a personal library
  • #16 Google Scholar is good, but limited ability to combine different keywords. Older articles can appear first in results, so use the date limits on the left hand side of the screen.
  • #17 We are one of the world’s most comprehensive research databases, giving you access to over 30,000 journals and more than 52 million article citations and conference papers through the British Library’s electronic table of contents. Keeping pace with your peers, staying up to date with new research, and expanding your field of knowledge has never been so simple. We make it easy for you to set-up personalised email Zetoc Alerts or RSS feeds to track the latest articles or journal titles related to your interests. In most cases, you can access abstracts or the full text of articles, depending on your institution’s subscription arrangements
  • #18 Inter Library Loan service: request copies of books and journals not held by MDX. £3 charge. Register as DL first. More info on our website. SCONUL Access http://www.access.sconul.ac.uk/ The SCONUL Access Scheme provides reciprocal access and borrowing rights for staff and students to approximately 170 member institutions in the UK. Apply online.
  • #19 Demonstrate that you have read widely on the subject by providing evidence of your research: marks often awarded for the quality and range of the information sources used. Enable the reader (your tutor) to locate the original material you used. Give credit to the original author/creator i.e. Distinguish between your own ideas and opinions and those of others. Highlight and back-up relevant points (i.e. establish the credibility and authority of your ideas and arguments) by quoting, paraphrasing or summarising from the original text. Achieve a better mark or grade: marks are often awarded for the accuracy of your references. Avoid plagiarism.
  • #20 Harvard and IEEE.
  • #22 Quoting: Use when the original wording conveys the idea perfectly Use author’s exact words Put “quotation marks” around the author’s words Refer to the author in text and include book/journal in reference list Paraphrasing: Present the author’s ideas in your own words Still need to refer to the author….the words are yours, but the idea is theirs
  • #23 These students are using IEEE referencing style.
  • #25 Quoting: Use when the original wording conveys the idea perfectly Use author’s exact words Put “quotation marks” around the author’s words Refer to the author in text and include book/journal in reference list Paraphrasing: Present the author’s ideas in your own words Still need to refer to the author….the words are yours, but the idea is theirs
  • #26 RefWorks also useful because contains hundreds of referencing styles including the referencing styles of specialist journals including Journal of Sports Sciences, Journal of Strength and Conditioning. Store and annotate PDFs and share with others.
  • #28  Another useful resource is British Standards online. Access as shown on slide. Can search all of the British and adopted European and International standards. Only a small number are available in full text, but we can add required standards if required up to our quota of 150.
