9. 8 What is a Bibliographic Database? bibliographic databases store lists of books or journal articles on various subjects and are invaluable for research. Library Catalogues CD-Roms On-line services ARCARC YorkDataNetYorkDataNet Internet search enginesInternet search engines

10. 9 Types of Databases Library catalogue. CD-Rom / DVD. The Internet. Record Systems. Address lists. Statistical Collections. Which of these are bibliographical? What about? Internet Search engines

11. 10 Bibliographic Databases. On-line search strategy Search a bibliographic database (i.e. Cinahl) Use the citation & abstract to decide if relevant. Locate the Journal (or book) If it is an on-line journal that the UoY subscribe to – you must access it via a UoY computer. Go to the Journal web site and view/download the article. If it is not available online (or not subscribed to) make your request through the Library. REMEMBER: most databases DO NOT link directly to on-line journals

12. 11 Bibliographic Database. Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask is in CLaSS tutorial D “Searching a Database”. It can be accessed via: Start Programs The Teaching Folder The Health Studies

13. 12 Demo of Metalib Located in the Electronic Library Metalib gateway Electronic databases Electronic Journals Need to multi-task lots of Windows Poor usability & navigation

14. 13 What to do now? Student Self Directed Work: In groups of 3 explore the following bibliographic databases. AMED British Nursing Index Cinahl Find the online Journal of Advanced Nursing by using the Library metalib service then skim read an article.

15. 14 Finding Journal Articles Do these tasks in your groups (3) Each member of the group will need to locate a journal article (3+1 = 4 in total). Don’t use a search engine (no Googling). Use UoY Databases and e-journal web sites. Use Metalib – (You will need Athens). You will find some results in CINAHL & BNI

16. 15 Thinks to remember You as a group decide how to manage the task. Think about the information you have – do you really need to use a database to fine each journal. I’m here to confirm you got it right. Think which databases will be best to use. Think about the Journal title (if it is known). Open each article online (if you can). Complete each reference for each article.
