Major Concerns Topic Selection Narrowing the search Using the library effectively

Define what you want to know “I am looking for literature and sources that focus on Spanish exploration and settlement. ” Use this statement to choose keywords and key phrases

Books Al Harris Catalog Open World Cat Ebrary

Open World Cat Meta search engine for online catalogs of libraries all over the world. Search for any book using a geographic location for the closest sources. Over 9000 libraries combined. If you find it in WorldCat, and it's not in our library, we can get it through ILL.WorldCat CREATE A USER ACCOUNT

Ebrary: eBooks 24/7 Full Text Searching* Highlight Markup Note Taking Changeable Font Size Multiplicity of Use CREATE A BOOKSHELF

Choose Appropriate Databases Google is not (usually) the answer Start with Library Resources for your Subject First Search a range of databases Think about the range of sources: books, journal articles, statistics, websites, conference reports…

Databases: Social Sciences America: History and Life with Full Text JSTOR North American Indian Thought & Culture Project Muse And Many More…..

EBSCO Databases America: History and Life with Full TextAmerica: History and Life with Full Text

JSTOR Includes archives of over one thousand leading academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Search by discipline: History

Project Muse Peer-reviewed journals Wide variety of humanities and social science subjects Complete journal content, including charts, graphs, and images

North American Indian Thought & Culture The collection is comprised of material that covers the entire history of North America; from 17th century accounts of the first encounters involving Indians and European colonists to the stories of aboriginals living in a 21st century world.

We think of citation patterns as the flow of information," says Carl Bergstrom, a biologist at the University of Washington. "That's what a citation is — the trace that an idea flowed from one place to another."

Handout: Identifying types of citations Book Journal or Magazine Conference Reports Newspaper Article Website

Handout: Reading citations A citation is a short, multi-part description of a specific information source. It provides the information that is needed to find a particular source. Journal citations contain such basic information as:

Snowballing Building on the works of others A scholarly article will always have References/Bibliography A bibliography is always ripe for the picking…

Tracking Citations

The Citation Video

Class Exercise Is it a book or a journal? Check the appropriate source –Open WorldCat/Ebrary/Al Harris Catalog –Periodicals List If the citation is an article, do we have access through the databases?

GoogleGoogle: Improve Your Searches Site Specific Command What it does: searches only specific domains What to type: Zuni Indians site:edu Zuni Indians site:gov

Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature. Search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.

Google Scholar Works best for Citations Restrictions to Content –Fee-based –Often your Library already owns material –We’re working on improving access

Native Issues: Internet Resources Tribal Government and Native American ResourcesTribal Government and Native American Resources Native American Documents Project Indian Affairs Laws & Treaties

Review Keywords/Boolean Books: –Ebrary/Open WorldCat/Catalog Databases: America: History and Life with Full Text/JSTOR/North American Indian Thought & Culture/Project Muse Google Site Search/Scholar

Class Exercise Divided into teams of four Find 2 articles & 2 books on Spanish Settlement and Exploration in the North American Southwest Use JSTOR/Ebrary/Open WorldCat Jot down Titles & Sources

KEY Elements for Your Paper Stress analysis: Do not simply parrot your sources i.e. “radical leaders” “Marxist Professors.” Who says they are radical? Marxist? Watch your assumptions. Do your own analysis.
