RESEARCH STRATEGIES
o Start with background reading.o Narrow and focus your topic.o Find the right search terms. o Use patterns you see in the results list
to find additional search terms.o Many resources will have a built-in
thesaurus that will suggest phrases and subjects to search by…use them!
Think of your research as
a tree…broad at the top, but narrow at the bottom!
HML
LIBRARY RESOURCESo Library Catalog POLARoPOLAR shows holdings for Heterick and Taggert

as discipline and subject specific databases

Books can help you
narrow your research topic by

Classification Numbers. Think of the these numbers as the shelf address for a book.

DATABASES
HML
o Databases are often the best tools for locating periodical and newspaper articles.
o Most databases are subject specific, but some are multi-disciplinary and those are a great place to begin your research.
o Many databases give access to full text articles.
DATABASES – FINDING AN ARTICLE:
o Magazines are usually a more “popular” type of periodical.
o Journals are scholarly or professionally peer reviewed periodicals.
o Periodical means the same thing as magazine or journal. However…
HML
SO KEEP IN MIND…Types of periodical articles:o Magazines
oThese usually consist of more “popular” material
o JournalsoScholarly or ProfessionaloPeer reviewed
HML
CAN’T I JUST GOOGLE ARTICLES?
Google and Wikipedia:
o Aren’t evilo Can prove valuableo Can’t be used as a
sourceo Turn to the databases
for source material
From the University of Wisconsin Library, worksheet for evaluating web sites
What about Google Scholar?
o Good: gives you an idea of how much is out there, and what search terms to use
o Bad: you can’t narrow your search by peer reviewed journal articles
HML
BUT I FOUND THIS GREAT WEBSITE…
Critically analyzing web sources
o What? is the page/site abouto Who? created and maintains this siteo Where? is the information coming fromo Why? is the information presented on the
webo When? was the page created or last updatedo How? accurate or credible is the page

HML
TWO WAYS TO LOCATE SPECIFIC DATABASES:
2. Databases are arranged alphabetically by title.1. Databases
are arranged based on the subject area they cover.
HML
FOUR GREAT DATABASES TO REMEMBER:
o Academic Search Completeo Business Source Completeo MEDLINE with Full Text o Opposing Viewpointso Note: The first three are all
Ebsco databases, which means that they look very similar and are easy to use.
HML
ALWAYS REMEMBER:o When available, DO select this box:
o Some databases won’t have this box (MEDLINE) because all of their articles are
peer reviewed.o But DON’T select this box:
