QUICK REVIEW

Best Research Strategy A common error is to look to a source for confirmation of an idea or an argument Do not start out to prove “X” Start out to find out about “X” Look for support, not necessarily factual evidence

Databases Using Keywords Boolean –And/Or/Not Using Limiters –Narrow or Specify your search

Boolean AND = Narrow OR = Expand NOT = Exclude

Research for Paper Two Interdisciplinary Approach –Looking for information on an idea –Not restricted to textual criticism or references to the work under investigation –In fact if you search by author or title in databases outside of literature databases…

What Databases to Use Databases are subject specific Many are multidisciplinary –JSTOR, ASC, Project Muse

JSTOR JSTOR is a full-text scholarly journal archive. JSTOR specializes in making available the back issues of journals in a wide variety of humanities and social science disciplines. Search by scholarly discipline

ASC: EBSCO Use Boolean Limiters –Subject Thesaurus Terms –Subject Use the Subject Limiters as Discovery Tools

Writing Your Paper Writing Center –Located in the basement of the library –Call for appointment # MLA Style –Style Sheets –MLA Handbook at Reference & Circulation Desk –
