Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Session overview  Resources for research  Electronic resources on Oxlip+  How to find databases, e-journals, e-books…  Key databases and how to search them  Chance to practise RSL subject web pages

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Electronic resources at Oxford An extensive collection of electronic databases, e-journals, e-books, standards online, conference proceedings … Oxlip+ - Oxford University e-resources MetaLib search engine provides Find resource by (title or subject); Crossearch option (multiple sources); and My Resources space. Search or browse the resources from Subject or Title List. Direct access from University Network Use your SSO for remote access

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Union Catalogue of Oxford’s libraries Accessing Oxford’s print collections: SOLO – Search Oxford Libraries Online OLIS - Union Catalogue of Oxford Libraries

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Electronic databases  Include published research  Subject specific  Index thousands of journals  International literature  Peer reviewed  Provide references and abstracts Accessing databases:  Directly from Oxford University network (no password required)  For remote access use your SSO log in

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Subject specific databases  ANTE CSA - Abstracts in New Technologies and Engineering - Computing  High Technology Research with Aerospace  INSPEC - Physics, Engineering, Computing  MathSciNet– AMS Mathematical Reviews  Compendex Ei – Engineering

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Subject specific databases CSA High Technology Research with Aerospace Cambridge Scientific Abstracts Sources covered include over 3,000 periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal, patents, books, and press releases. Subfiles can be searched separately:  Aerospace and High Technology database  Computer and Information systems  Electronics and Communications Abstracts  Solid state and Superconductivity Abstracts  Information Technology Case Studies  The subfiles can also be CrossSearched on Oxlip+

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Subject specific databases INSPEC For Physics, Engineering, Computing, Applied Maths …  Comprehensive database covering physics, computing, electrical and electronic engineering  Indexes approx 4200 journals, 1000 conferences,books, reports, dissertations  Coverage from 1969 – to date/Updated weekly  Published by the IET  Available from Engineering Village  Access this database from Oxlip+

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865)272800

Multidisciplinary databases Web of Knowledge Web of Science®Web of Science® with Conference Proceedings  Science Citation Index Expanded (1945-present) databases cover more than 4000 journals  Social Sciences Citation Index (1956-present)  Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present) Journal Citation Reports® ( ) Produced by ISI/Thomson

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) More electronic resources  ACM Digital Archive e-journals, proceedings …  AIP Conference Proceedings  British Standards Online - BSOL  IEEE/IEE Electronic Library e-journals, conference proceedings, standards  Lecture Notes in Computer Science (e-book series)  Lecture Notes in Mathematics (e-book series)  SIAM e-journals

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Internet gateways Quality assessed Internet sites:  ADS – Astrophysics Data System  arXiv.org – Open Access Physics, Maths, Comp  CoRR – Computing Research Repository  Intute - Science, Engineering and Technology  PhysMathCentral

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) E-journals Oxford University electronic journals OU e-journals

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865)272800

Searching e-databases  Define a topic/a search question  Break your search question into concepts  Select search terms to describe concepts  Create a search strategy  Select appropriate subject database(s)  Search electronic databases  Find more search terms from retrieved records  Repeat a search in another database

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Search techniques Boolean operators:  AND to narrows down a search  OR to broaden a search (synonyms)  NOT to exclude some terms Search tips:  Use wildcard and truncation (?, *)  Include alternative terms  Include different spelling

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Sample search We are interested in: “Quantum programming languages”

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) AND, OR, NOT Quantum computing Algorithms Programming languages

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Reference tools Keeping and organising your references:  Export your search results into reference management software  Save results using an appropriate file format  or Print results and then enter into the software  Keep up-to-date by setting up database alerts  Update your search regularly Link to reference management software (Refworks and Endnote Web) You may want to purchase your own copy of EndNote.

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) The Copyright Law Photocopying, printing and downloading from printed and electronic books and journals:  one book chapter  one journal article  Up to 5%

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) Plagiarism What is plagiarism? “..is the act of representing as one’s own original work the creative works of another, without appropriate acknowledgment of the author or source (University of Melbourne, 2007) “.. Is copying or paraphrasing of other people’s work or ideas into your own work without full acknowledgment (Educational Policy and Standards - University of Oxford

Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) How do you avoid it? To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use:  another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;  any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings—any pieces of information—that are not common knowledge;  quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words; or  paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words. These guidelines were taken from the Student Code of Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct, Indiana University website.
