Advanced search technique for health and life sciences for Online Programmes
This presentation introduces advanced search techniques for health and life sciences resources available through the library website. It covers searching e-books, journals, databases like Scopus and Medline, and reference management software RefWorks. Search strategies discussed include developing focused questions, selecting keywords, using Boolean operators and phrase searching. Tips are provided for constructing effective searches and evaluating search results. Additional online resources suggested include Healthtalkonline, Behind the Headlines and NHS Evidence.
Presentation on the_library_for_online_programmes_for_online_staff
This presentation provides an overview of the Library for Online Programmes for online staff at the University of Liverpool. It summarizes the various resources available through the library, including over 500,000 e-books, journal articles, reference materials, legal sources, and more. It also provides guidance on searching tools, accessing full texts, creating citations, embedding library content, and selecting appropriate readings. Staff can contact the e-learning librarian for any additional support needs.
Searching techniques
1. The document discusses various techniques for searching online information, including using search engines, subject directories, and subject gateways.
2. It explains that search engines have huge databases but emphasize quantity over quality, while subject directories and subject gateways have smaller, more curated databases organized by subject.
3. Effective search strategies discussed include phrase searching, truncation, wildcards, Boolean operators, and setting limits to focus searches.
Effective Search via Google.
Everyone uses Google daily, but smart people work differently. Learn the tricks that only a handful (~4%) of people use, and save your time and energy while searching over Google :)
Effective and efficient google searching power point tutorial
This document provides guidance on effective Google searching. It discusses Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it accessible. It also notes that Google profiles users to target advertising and its products may change. The document then provides examples of basic Google searches and demonstrates more advanced search techniques. It stresses evaluating sources and avoiding plagiarism. Finally, it includes an exercise for readers to practice advanced Google searches.
Effective web search techniques
The document discusses techniques for formulating effective search queries to find relevant information online. It recommends identifying key words from the search topic, removing unnecessary words, and using Boolean operators, quotation marks, and other tools to narrow results. Formulating the right search query involves scaling the topic down to operative terms and parsing phrases. The document also explains how to search the "deep web" by using context terms and site-specific searches.
Lesson 3
The document discusses how to identify reliable sources on the internet. It states that all students should be able to identify reliable sources, most students should also be able to explain why they are reliable, and some students should be able to teach others how to identify reliable sources. It provides examples of web address endings that indicate a reliable source such as .com, .org, .co.uk, .gov, and .ac.uk. Unofficial websites without these endings may be unreliable because they could be biased or outdated. Students are asked to evaluate website reliability based on these criteria.
Lesson 2
The document provides guidance for students on setting up email accounts and using email collaboratively. It instructs students to set up a Google email account, add contacts to their address book, and use email to research online safety topics and communicate with other students. Students will then work collaboratively in groups of three via email to create an online safety leaflet. They are directed to divide up topics, share mind maps of ideas via email, and provide feedback on the lesson in their learning journal.

Lesson 1
This document outlines key points about e-safety for students in Year 8:
Most students will understand their rights and responsibilities related to e-safety online. Some will be able to advise others about online risks and where to find support. E-safety involves staying safe online, knowing what information is appropriate to share, and understanding that anything posted may remain on the internet permanently. Students have a right to privacy and protecting personal information online.
Hypothesis presentation.
A hypothesis aims to be proven or disproven through research. If the information collected agrees with the hypothesis, then it is proven as true. However, if the data does not align with the hypothesis, then it has been disproven as false. The research determines whether the hypothesis is supported or contradicted by the evidence.
Presenting information presentation.
This document discusses different ways to present information visually, including tally charts, key points, bar charts, line graphs, and percentages. Tally charts can record responses to questions, using lines to show answers. Key points from sources should be highlighted and condensed into bullet points. Bar charts or line graphs can then display tallied answers or trends over time. Percentages can also represent parts of a whole, such as the proportion of people answering a question in the same way.
Hypothesis task presentation
The document discusses hypotheses and how to research them. A hypothesis is a statement that can be proved or disproved through research techniques like questionnaires, interviews, and analyzing newspapers/magazines. Examples of hypotheses given are that all people over 12 own mobile phones and that mobile phones are dangerous to health. The document also covers keywords, wildcards, and advanced searches to help narrow down search results on the internet.
Gathering information presentation.
This document discusses different methods for gathering information, including questionnaires, interviews, newspapers/magazines, and the internet. Questionnaires allow collecting people's opinions through a list of questions, and can provide statistical data. Interviews involve real conversations using open or closed questions. The internet provides a wide range but unreliable information must be avoided. Newspapers/magazines supply real examples for research topics.
Reliability presentation
The document discusses factors that determine the reliability of a website, including the URL extension (.gov, .edu, etc.), date of last update, presence of ads, and design quality. A reliable site will have a recent date, minimal ads that don't sway opinions, and clean design without errors or broken links. The URL extension can also indicate if the site is associated with a trustworthy source like the government or an educational institution.
Search engines and techniques presentation
The document discusses effective internet search techniques. It explains that search engines like Google, Bing and Ask Jeeves can be used to research topics. Boolean operators, keywords, wildcards and advanced searches are presented as techniques to refine searches. Boolean operators use logical terms like "and", "or" and "not". Keywords search for specific words while wildcards use symbols to replace letters. Advanced searches provide more details to narrow results. The number of search "hits" indicates relevance, with fewer hits being more relevant.
Fact or opinion presentation
The document provides examples of statements and asks the reader to identify whether each one is a fact or opinion. It contains statements such as "We are in a school", "August follows July", "Earth is a planet, not a star", and "It is a long way to Germany from here" and asks the reader to justify labeling each one as a fact or opinion. The purpose is to have the reader practice distinguishing facts from opinions.
User guide
This is a short user guide presentation to inform the user how to use my website and the information included in it.
Fact or opinion presentation
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. Reliability is about a test consistently measuring something in the same way. Bias can occur when a test is designed or used in a way that is unfair to certain groups and favors others.
