Research

Before you begin research, please review this PowerPoint. There is valuable information about how and where to research.

What is a source ? Document that gives you information kinds of sources are: books, reference books, Internet websites, magazines, newspaper, interviews, etc. The Internet is a kind of source, but you may have 3 Internet sources, each website is a different source.

Here are kinds of sources with their source: Kind of sourceSource Book or Reference Book Individual book title EncyclopediaArticle of subject InternetIndividual website, article on website Magazine/ Newspaper Article found in a magazine/newspaper InterviewActual interview

What would it look like if… You were asked to have 3 different kinds of sources? You would need to have a source from three of the following: book, encyclopedia, Internet, magazine, newspaper or interview You were asked to have 3 sources from the Internet? You would need three different websites or articles off the Internet.

Primary vs. Secondary PRIMARY source Firsthand=straight from the horse’s mouth! What is usually referenced in research or texts. SECONDARY source Source that uses a source Like a quote within a quote If you want it to count towards your 3, you’ll need to make the secondary source a primary source

Example of Secondary Source In the textbook we read, on page 80, when Mario Pei is referenced as having estimated humans produce 700,000 different physical signs, that is the primary source. What is the secondary source? Secondary source= the textbook

Full Text vs. Abstract FULL TEXT Complete article Might need to click a “full text” button in the search to only get full text articles (Wilson) ABSTRACT Paragraph description of what the article is about Not the article

The following is the order to take when looking for your sources. Let’s begin our research!

FIRST SOURCE

Your first source should be a BOOK or Reference book. 1.Check the school library. 2.Check the city libraries. 3.Check Love (UNL) library. * These can all be accessed from the LHS media center website.

Gale Databases The next 2-5 searches will be done in the Gale databases.

SECOND SOURCE

Your second source should be found on Student Resource Center- Gold. 1.LHS MC databases. 2.Click Gale Databases link. 3.Click into the “Student resource Center: GOLD” database. 4.Type in your search words. 5.Be sure to go through all the tabs in your results.

THREE SOURCE

Your three source should be found on ACADEMIC ONEFILE. 1.LHS MC databases. 2.Click Gale Databases link. 3.Click into “Academic OneFile” database. 4.Click the “full text” button. You may also choose to do a “peer reviewed” search.

FOURTH SOURCE

Your fourth source should be found on Global Issues in Context. This is a search across multiple Gale databases. LHS MC databases. Click “Global Issues in Context” link. 3.Be sure to click the “full text” button.

FIFTH SOURCE

Your fifth source should be found on OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS. 1.LHS MC databases. 2.Click Gale Databases link. 3.Click into “Opposing Viewpoints” database. 4.This is a great source for FULL TEXT articles out of magazines & journals, viewpoints, references, news, and even reliable websites.

SIXTH SOURCE

Your sixth source should be found on GROLIER. This is your reliable online encyclopedia. LHS MC databases. Click “Grolier” link. 1.Search the results in the multiple databases.

SEVENTH SOURCE

Your seventh source(s) should be found on Found on the LHS MC website There are several places you can go here. Explore them all. **Wilson**

Link to biographies Link to a list of official websites to reputable magazines

EIGHTH SOURCE

Your eighth source is your CHOICE. Any other online database found on the LHS MC website. –Gale Databases: Science Resource Center, Kids Info Bits (low level articles) –ABC Clio: American Govn’t, American History, Ancient History, Issues, US at War, World Geography, World History –CultureGrams –Daily Life (social history) –Oxford Online –Popular Culture Universe

Databases It is advised that you click around in the databases and get to know what they all provide.

NINTH SOURCE

Your ninth source is the World Wide Web. Start by searching for credible sources. Yahoo and other main stream search engines will not necessarily list the most pertinent (important) sources first.

World Wide Web There is a difference between a search engine and a website. What is this difference? Search engine: a website that helps you find websites that meet your needs EX: Yahoo & Google Website: an individual site EX: LHS MC, Aten’s, NFL

Internet search hints:

In Google’s advanced search: –Hit the “U.S. Government” link to search government sites. Great for statistics. –Hit the “Scholarly” link to search for less publicized articles. –Linked pages and similar pages (next slide) –

Google Advance Search Similar pages and linked pages. Maximize this link.

clusty.com It is a cluster search. It helps cut your research time in half.

Reading a search results page

Search tools QUOTES around words will produce a search for those EXACT words –EX: “radioactive effects” AND will produce a search that looks for BOTH keywords –EX: radioactive AND effects OR will produce a search that looks for either word ~ (tidle) before the word= synonyms If you don’t get results you want the first time, search with different words. Look for keywords in articles to use for another search. Google ignores common words in a search; like the, a, where, were, and Google isn’t case sensitive
