    articles

• Access from library website www.calstatela.edu/library
• Click articles and databases tab
• Select the database from the pull-down menu
• Databases can be of two types keyword or relational/statistical
• ABI inform global is relational; Business Source is keyword
• Different results; Keyword looks for every hit of the words you end;
  Relational/statistical matches what it thinks are the best
Note’s continued

• Key word databases require you to join your search words or
  ters with connectors (AND, OR); if you type in a long list of
  words it will look for that exactly

• Tools that make databases useful include limiting by
  date, conducting relevance rank, limiting to specific kinds of
  information like scholarly articles

• Scholarly means an article that builds upon the existing
  knowledge in a field that is written by an expert with a full set
  of references; Look for info about author (degree, affilaition
  and references)
