HEALTH RESEARCH PROJECT

What is a Library Database? Databases contain information from published works (magazines and newspaper articles, encyclopedias and other reference books) Databases are searchable by keywords Databases contain full text articles that you can print

Databases at PCJH Encyclopedia Britannica Online EBSCO

Databases/Websites Websites may be written by anyone regardless of expertise Website content is not necessarily checked by an expert Websites often don’t provide the information necessary to create a complete citation Websites may not indicate when an page is updated

Five Ws of Web Site Evaluation Who – Who wrote the page? What – What is the purpose of the page? Sell something or education? When – When was the site created? Updated? Where – Where does the info come from? Why – Why should I use this information?

Who wrote the web page? Web Address or URL .com – business .edu – education .org – organization .gov - government

Keyword Specific word or phrase for finding the information Example: Cancer (Broad) Breast Cancer (More Specific) Breast Cancer Signs (Very Specific)

Great Resources at PCJH PCJH Library Page Encyclopedia Britannica Online Vertical Files Books ~ Use Online Catalog Websites ~ Ebsco Research In Progress

I have my information. Now what? Tips on Taking Notes: Use a separate index card for each piece of information Give each card a heading to show the subject of the note Write the number of the page where you found the information Put quotation marks around anything you copy word for word from the source

Taking Notes What is cancer? A disease A growth or tumor Tend to spread to other sites Dictionary p. 26

Creating Your Presentation Organize your notes by topic Organize your thoughts into a logical order Begin creating your presentation Hint: You should get all the information in your presentation first. THEN, you can work on backgrounds and pictures.

Pop Quiz! Have you been listening? Give me 2 reasons a database can be a more reliable source than the internet. If the web address ends with .com, what does that mean? What is a keyword search? What does the web address ending with .org mean? What databases does our library provide for you?
