![Secondary Sources
• Cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources.
• Involve generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or
evaluation of the original information. If an article discusses old
documents to derive a new conclusion, it is considered to be a
primary source for the new conclusion
• E.G. Review Articles, meta-analysis [most peer review articles
report new findings and thus are considered primary resources]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/slidebcs4321-120906125900-phpapp02/85/Slide-bcs4321-13-320.jpg)

This document provides an overview of library resources and services for a class on biochemistry. It outlines six class objectives related to using the library website, locating peer-reviewed articles, distinguishing primary/secondary/tertiary sources, setting up a RefWorks account, conducting database searches, and citation searching. It then provides a quick tour of the library's services, including its large collection, study rooms, and branch libraries. It reviews how to access and search resources like books, journals, databases, and the catalog. It also explains what peer-reviewed articles are and how to identify them. Finally, it gives more details on primary, secondary and tertiary sources, Boolean searching, and citation searching.

- 11. How to DistinguishBetween Primary • Secondary • Tertiary •
- 12. Primary Sources • Sourcematerial that is closest to the original research. • A source with direct personal knowledge of the events being described. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. A person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document created by such a person. • E.G. Case Reports, Clinical Trials, Original reporting articles…1st person
- 13. Secondary Sources • Cite,comment on, or build upon primary sources. • Involve generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information. If an article discusses old documents to derive a new conclusion, it is considered to be a primary source for the new conclusion • E.G. Review Articles, meta-analysis [most peer review articles report new findings and thus are considered primary resources]
- 14. Tertiary Sources • Moreperipheral • Bibliographies, library catalogs, directories, reading lists and survey articles. • Compilation of data…E.G. Red Book, PDR, Martindale Extra Pharmacopeia • Longer lead time in publishing..years rather than months

- 19. Citation Searching Assumed subject relevancy between the original paper and the references that paper cites e.g. Drug-resistant malaria by Hyde JE in TRENDS IN PARASITOLOGY Volume: 21 Issue: 11 Pages: 494- 498 Published: NOV 2005 – If we look up the list of references at the end of Hyde’s article they may be useful --but the problem is that they will all be older than 2005….. And I want current articles on the topic? – So I can look for articles since 1985 who “cited” Hyde’s article by doing a “citation search” – And we find the latest article was published in July 2012
