Databases Database (in library terms) = container
and search tool for digital articles, books, videos, etc.
The database lists them and sometimes has full-text.

Workshops Live webinars Taught by a librarian Take from home
You need a computer with internet, speakers/headphones, and preferably a microphone
![Page 11: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How information is organizedWHY IS THIS NOT EASY???
![Page 12: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Information “packages” Books
Take a long time to write and even longer to publish Tend to be about a broader view of a bigger topic.
Articles They’re shorter so they take less time to write and publish Tiny slice of a topic, but very in-depth.
Reference books Information is not original. (Synthesis and summary.) Information is typically years old.
Gray literature Not formally published Documents, reports, and data sets - different kinds used
in different subject areas Other – News, entertainment, etc.
![Page 13: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Economics It costs to publish
Printing is the smallest part Quality control (peer review, editing) Organizing and making available online in database form
Publishers and vendors take on those costs They pass the costs on to the library in subscription fees They also control HOW we access the content
Bundling it together like cable channels Requiring a password Limiting how we can use it Not playing nice with their competitors
That’s why it’s not all in one place with one easy search box.
![Page 14: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Searching/Researching
![Page 15: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Getting an idea Get ideas about possible research topics
from what you’ve been studying in your course: Textbooks Assigned readings Mini-lectures, videos, etc. in your course
![Page 16: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What makes a good research question? NOT a question with a quick and
straightforward answer Enough to write about… But not too much!
![Page 17: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use the library’s reference materials Expand your knowledge Explanations Definitions of vocabulary
![Page 18: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Don’t cite reference resources! They’re synthesis and summary, not
original research. Your next step is to search for the
original research sources you can cite in your paper.
![Page 19: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Databases v. Google Databases are a closed system – they
don’t try to index “everything,” just the content that’s selected to be put in them
More powerful searching Field search means you can search for
“William Shakespeare” in either SU for works about him or AU for works by him
Narrow by date, document type, etc.
![Page 20: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Databases can’t understand English It just matches what you type in with
what it finds in the documents it contains, and the metadata of those documents.
If you type in dog, it’s not going to bring up canine or poodle.
You have to do all that work for the database.
![Page 21: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step 1: Concepts First break your search down into pieces
– each concept is one piece. Relationship between autism and
digestive problems

Step 2: Synonyms Autism and also Asperger’s, Autism
Spectrum Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder
Digestive Problems and also Digestive Disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, GERD, Reflux Disease, Inflamatory Bowel Disorder, Crohns Disease

Step 3: Boolean Operators We will talk about these in a minute.
![Page 24: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Which database(s) to search in? OneSearch is always a good starting
place. Check the Journal Articles tab of your
subject guide for other ideas. Or look for relevant databases in
Article Databases
![Page 25: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Searching in a database DEMO TIME!
![Page 26: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Regroup Take notes while you research. As soon as you find a document you
think you might use, get the citation information and permalink.
This way you’ll know what source and page number (!!!) you took a piece of information from.
![Page 27: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ask, what have I learned so far? Do you have a clearer idea of your thesis? Of how you will back up your thesis with
arguments? Of what kinds of information you will need to cite
to prove and illustrate your points? Of what authors are important in this subject area? Of what theories, models, or frameworks might
apply? Of major disagreements, controversies, or gaps in
our collective knowledge?
![Page 28: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Search for the rest of the articles and books you will need Boolean search for your topic. Don’t forget to follow the citation trail!
Look in the References section of a relevant article to find more (older) articles on that topic!
![Page 29: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Special business document types Tabs on the BME Subject Guide for
SWOT Analysis, Company Profile, Annual Reports, Case Studies, etc.

Get help searching The
Search section of the Research Skills Tutorial covers all of this.
Or use your handout! Or Ask A Librarian!
![Page 31: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Evaluating information
![Page 32: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
First: Is it relevant? Skim the abstract or table of contents
to decide if an information source is worth further attention.
As soon as you find a source that you think you might use, get the citation information and the permalink.
![Page 33: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Next, for each relevant source, ask yourself: Who put this information out there? Do they know what they’re talking
about? Do they have a vested interest or an
agenda? Is there a money trail to follow?
![Page 34: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Is it scholarly? By experts, for experts Peer reviewed Journal articles and some books Some of our databases have all scholarly
content; others let you limit your search to it Research paper sources should be scholarly But scholarly is not a guarantee of quality or
objectivity – peer reviewers make mistakes too
![Page 35: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sections of a research article: Literature review: Background and context –
what other authors have said about this topic. Methods: How they conducted the study.
Check to see if methodology and stats are kosher.
Findings/Conclusions/Results: Did it turn out the way they hypothesized? What was learned?
Discussion: More of that, plus implications.
![Page 36: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Get help evaluating The
Evaluate section of the Research Skills Tutorial covers all of this.
Or Ask A Librarian! We can’t tell you if it’s good, but we can
help you with the questions you need to ask to make a judgment call.
![Page 37: Business, Management and Economics Residency Library Session](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/58792ac91a28ab7c448b54eb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Using and citing information

DO NOT Don’t gather facts
and quotes and string them together.
Don’t write your paper and then go find facts and quotes to back up what you said.
DO! Build YOUR
argument and back it up with facts and some quotes
Research some more to back up those points, but be open to adjusting what you were going to say.

When to cite: Every time you quote. Every time you paraphrase. Every time you use a fact that is not
common knowledge. You need both in-text citations and a
references list.
