Getting Started Finding a topic

Finding a topic Scan newspapers, textbooks and module readings for topic ideas and suggestions. Think of what you have read or seen recently that may be of interest to you. Draw on your personal experiences or other modules, etc. for inspiration. Search the library catalogue for interesting reads. Reference sources such as encyclopaedias are good for overview of topics, definitions, etc. Browsing the Wikipedia can provide some topic ideas. Keep in mind when doing so that anyone can change and edit entries in Wikipedia.

Interesting Reads

Before Searching a Database… It is important to think about how a database will interpret your search topic You can search single words or phrases – usually no problem! You can combine terms and phrases – important to combine those terms effectively. Plan your search strategy Creating a search statement can save time!

The Research Cycle: Search Statement Principles & Exercise

The Research Process explore Identify main keywords List synonyms, related words & variant spellings Create search statement Search for sources using LINC+/LINC & databases Get more sources by checking references Are there enough? Evaluate quality, currency, relevance, etc. yes no Complete your assignment Topic

Information Sources SourceUseful forHow to Access BooksOverview of topicsLINC+, LINC Journal articles & conference papers In-depth treatment of topics, usually current and scholarly. Some journals may be peer- reviewed Citations and full- texts if available: databases Full-text: LINC+, LINC Newspapers Recent events, anecdotes, book reviews, interviews, biographical information, “data” Factiva, LexisNexis, microfilms Websites (.edu,.gov,.org ) Exploring the topicSearch engines 15

How to Identify Scholarly Articles Courtesy of Wayne State University Libraries, 2010.

Evaluating Resources Relevance Is it relevant to your topic/subject? Authority Is it from a reputable publisher, society or association. Look at the author’s credentials & institutional affiliation. Accuracy What are the methods of research that were used? Are there means to verify the data? Objectivity Is there a range of viewpoints to support or reinforce the arguments presented? Are the arguments comprehensive? Currency Is this the latest information available? How frequently is it updated? Scholarly Is it peer reviewed? How often has it been cited by others?

Create Search Statement

Creating Search Statements Step1. Identify principal concepts & keywords from your research topic/question Step 2. Combine keywords together using Boolean operators - AND, OR, NOT Other search symbols Round parentheses - ( ) Truncation, wild card - * Quotation marks - “ “

Concepts and Related Terms Identify main concepts, keywords & related terms List synonyms, broader or narrower terms, variant spelling of these concepts/keywords dual income dual earner parenting childrearing #2: parenting #1. dual income Who's watching Junior? A look at parenting in dual income families. Topic

Boolean Operators AND = both terms must be present (to narrow/refine search; fewer search results) AND e.g. dual income AND parenting OR = either of the terms may be present (to broaden search) OR e.g. dual income OR dual earner NOT = excludes a search term (use with caution) dual income dual earner ANDANDANDAND O R O R dual income parenting

Truncation * Use asterisk * for variant forms of a word & variant spelling Examples: technolog*  technological, technologies, etc. parent*  parenthood, parenting, parents Note: Some databases use other symbols, e.g.: $, ?, ! Check individual databases “Help” menus

Round Parentheses ( ) Used to group words to be searched together Use especially to group synonyms of a concept together. Examples: (() (sexual OR gender) AND (inequality OR differences) Retrieves articles with the terms:  sexual inequality, gender inequality  sexual differences, gender differences

“ “ Quotation marks “ “ Used to search “multi-word concept / phrase” e.g. Examples 1. gendered family  79 hits “” “gendered family”  18 hits 2. second demographic transition  146 hits “” “second demographic transition”  58 hits Note: Some databases treat adjacent words as separate words with the implicit operator AND between the words. Others treat them as phrase (“ ”)

Search Statement Topic Search statement: (dual income OR dual earner) AND parenting Limit search to: Period: last 5 years (2006- ) Language: English Sort by: Relevance Do a direct export to EndNote Who's watching Junior? - A look at parenting in dual income families. Topic
