7. Why Search Databases?
Smaller “bucket” to begin from.
Published = someone else reviewed
and edited Database
Access – you have to log in
because these are subscriptions!
Better sources – but you still need
to evaluate!
Google
8. Databases!
If you can use Facebook, you can use a database.
Facebook = Database
Facebook =
Giant collection of
information that you know
how to navigate
Academic Databases =
Giant collection of
information that you don’t
quite yet know how to
navigate.
(but you will!)
9. A list of records on Facebook.
Do you get a
lot of
information
here?
How would I get
more information
on each person?
10. List of records in Academic Search Premier
Do you get a
lot of
informationh
ere?
How would I get more
information on each item?
12. Record
Record = fancy way of saying “basic
information on a particular item”
On Facebook, a record is a profile that contains
your basic information.
In an article database, the record is where you will
find the basic info on the book or article.
Think of the item record as the “Item Profile”
13. A Facebook Profile = an Item Record
You clicked on
someone, and
viola!
WAY MORE INFO!
Information
Available:
hometown, workplace,
languages, current town,
likes. These are Fields
14. A Facebook Profile = an Item Record
You clicked on and
item, and viola!
WAY MORE INFO!
Information
Available:
author, source, subject
terms, volume, issue,
pages. These are Fields
16. FIELD
Field = fancy way of saying “piece
of info”
When you fill out a form, you fill out fields:
Name, marital status, address, phone number
In an article database, the fields are about the
article:
Author, journal, date, volume, issue number
This is the info you need to create APA citations!
17. A Facebook Tag = A Subject Heading
What’s a Tag?
What happens if I
click on a tag?
18. A Facebook Tag = A Subject Heading
What happens if I
click on a subject
heading?
20. Subject Heading
Subject heading = fancy way of saying
“a way to group together things that
are alike”
When you tag on Facebook:
You clump together things on the same person
In an article database, subject headings
Clump together articles on the same topic
So if you find a subject heading on your topic and
click on it, you are taken to a whole list of potential
21. Facebook limiter = Databases limiter
How do you narrow down
search in Facebook?
What happens if I
click one of these
boxes?
Do more, or fewer
results show up if I
click one?
22. Facebook limiter = Databases limiter
What happens if I
click one of these
boxes?
Do more, or fewer
results show up if I
click one?
24. Limiter/Filter
Limiter or Filter = a fancy way of
saying “ways to narrow your search”
When you limit on Facebook:
You look for people from JUST the same school or
work, or town
Whey you limit in a database:
You look for items that are JUST scholarly, or from a
certain year, or by a certain author
You reduce the number of items in your search, so
it’s easier to find what you’re looking for!
26. But Which one should I search?
SO MANY DATABASES!
Pay attention to descriptions!
Research guides!
Ask!
We will get to know several Harrison databases over the next few weeks.
Familiarize yourself really well with 1 or 2, and make them your “go to”
databases.
My two? Academic search premier & Opposing Viewpoints.
