Finding Articles Using Education Databases Information Services Section HKIEd Library

Outline Basics and Overview Database in Focus – ERIC on EBSCOhost Another Educational Resource Example – ProQuest Education Journals 2

Why use an e-database?

Because …  Use electronic databases to search for local and international literature.  Electronic databases contain recent information from book reviews, journal articles, conference papers, and other materials.  Some databases provide the complete full text articles or papers.  Other databases will just provide abstracts of the journal papers. 4

Because …  An e-database is an organized collection of information. It supports search for journal title, article title, author, issue, volume, etc., which is more flexible and in-depth. Journal article 5

Can Library Catalogue retrieve journal articles?

No, because …  We can only search for journal title in EdCAT, but not on individual article title or author. Journal title search 7

Why use an e-database?  Therefore, e-database is extremely useful when you want to find articles containing particular details, e.g. keyword = peer assessment in classroom  You could retrieve journal articles on this topic from e-databases, but you could not find the same information via EdCAT. This is because EdCAT allows search in journal title only; the search does not go into details of each issue or volume of the journal. 8

Some examples of Chinese electronic databases:  中國期刊全文數據庫 - 〈教育與社會科學綜合輯〉及〈文史哲輯〉  中文電子期刊服務 CEPS: Chinese Electronic Periodicals Service Some examples of local electronic databases:  Hong Kong Journals Online  Dissertations and Theses Collection (DTC)  Chinese ERIC (Chinese University of Hong Kong) Some prominent e-databases on Education Library Website -> E-Resources Tab 9

Some examples of international electronic databases:  ERIC (Education Resources Information Center)  ProQuest Education Journals  Academic Search Premier  A+ Education  PsycINFO Some prominent e-databases on Education Library Website -> E-Resources Tab 10

Identify your keywords  Keywords are words or phrases that should appear in the information you are searching for.  Keywords are used to do search in the library catalogue and e-databases. For example, your topic is : Study the effect of small class teaching in Hong Kong Keywords are : small class teaching hong kong  Use Boolean Operators (AND/OR/NOT), Wildcards (*), etc, where appropriate, e.g. small class teaching AND hong kong AND adolenscen* 11

Searching tips: Expand your search  Use “expanders” from the database search screen to expand your search  Use Boolean operator “OR” to include more search terms e.g. thinking skills or critical thinking or decision making skills  Use truncation (*) to expand your search term in alternative way e.g. learn* to search for learning, learns, learner, etc. 20

Searching tips: Narrow your search  Use “Limiter” from the database search screen to limit your search results in various way  Consider the suggested “Narrow Search Results by Subject” from the search result screen  Use Boolean operator “AND” to limit search results to a narrower scene e.g. peer assessment AND higher education 21
