Research Paper NE 201 Honora Eskridge NCSU Libraries September 27, 2006

The Research Process 1. Define the problem scope/breadth/depth 2. Consider audience/where it would be published 3. Select search tools and keywords 4. Search 5. Analyze results 6. Present information

Web Search Engines – Yahoo!, Google, Lycos, etc. World Wide Web – Millions of web pages! This is the surface of the Web

The Deep Web World Wide Web – Millions of web pages! Web pages containing search tools Web Search Engines

Silos of Information $ $ $ free! $$ $ $ $ World Wide Web – Millions of web pages! Web pages containing search tools (DATABASES) Web Search Engines

Compare looking for research articles to finding and buying an airline ticket Searching Google doesn’t work – you have to select the right type of database (Expedia, Travelocity). The database is free – ads pay for it. Discovery. You are now searching a database for a specific document – the right ticket. Now you choose the best document for your needs, in this case the best flight. Access means buying the ticket. The ‘document’ costs money!

Searching Google doesn’t work well – you have to select the right type of database (Compendex, Inspec). The database costs money – no ads! The library pays for it. Discovery. You are now searching a database for specific documents – research articles. Now you choose the best document(s) for your needs, in this case an IEEE article. Access occurs because the library bought the journal. The ‘document’ costs money! Now you determine if the library owns this article
