Dobson, Librarian WELL 408 Research Methods in Health Studies: Research Sources & Strategies ELECTRONIC DATABASES Ways to Access the Libraries e-resources Centennial Libraries offer approximately 100 electronic resources to the College community. The majority of these e- resources are licensed databases that provide reliable, scholarly, commercial free information. Most focus on journal & newspaper articles, but there are other special databases as well (Credo Reference dictionaries, Estat statistical data, NetLibrary ebooks, and various professional databases such as ecps: Compendium of Pharmaceuticals & Specialties, Access Science Encyclopedia, Encyclopedia Britannica Online, etc.) Most are available 24/7, and require logon if off-campus. They are a useful alternative & complement to the Internet. Go to the homepage Quick access: In the START YOUR RESEARCH box, click on articles & e-resources and select HEALTH SCIENCES (or EDUCATION, or BUSINESS etc.). For other options, see chart below.» E-Resources A-Z» Find the best e-resources To access e-resources off-campus you will be prompted to enter your Library activated student card number and Library PIN (personal identification number). A list of all our e-resources. If you already know the name of the e-resource you want to search, find it here. Some health, education & multidisciplinary examples: CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature) Medline Health and Wellness Resource Center Academic Search Premier Lexis Nexis (news international) ESTAT (a Statistics Canada educational database) CPI.Q (Canadian perspective includes health articles) ERIC: Educational Resource Information Center Lists of e-resources divided by subject, by format type (e.g. health sciences subject, or newspapers type), and links to popular e-resources.» BIGsearch All-in-one search of most of our e-resources - a good place to start your research, browse, or look for specific authors, titles of publications, or specific types of articles such as literature reviews, etc.. (Note: there are some limitations: not all databases can be searched through this engine; and it cannot consistently recognize a locked in phrase (e.g. hatha yoga will be searched as two separate words, not as a phrase.)» Full Text Journal List A list of all our online and print periodicals. Use it to find specific magazine, journal or newspaper titles. Example: Does the Library hold Yoga Therapy in Practice? Health and Stress? Canadian Journal of Education? Disability Issues? Globe and Mail? Etc. 1
2 » Vendors The Find journals and articles page described above provides quick Links to e-resource vendors: EBSCOhost Gale Ovid ProQuest. These companies each provide Centennial Libraries with a number of databases and an interface for searching all or some at a time without sacrificing access to their precision search tools. LIMITS Limits not only reduce the number of records displayed, they also provide a useful way to add focus or relevancy to your results. Ways to Limit & Expand Your Searches EXPANDERS If you want to be thorough, and certainly if you are not getting the results you want, use expanders to seek out more records on your topic. Limit to Search all fields or large fields (e.g. all text ) Examples of fields: title, subject, author, abstract (summary), all text, people, etc. Limit to peer reviewed records and/or academic records that have references (footnotes and endnotes are a sign of scholarliness). This is for scholarly articles. Collect terms that relate in some way to the same concept with the OR operator the more terms you string together the more records you are likely to get. Example: the keyword string, management or therapy will yield more than just management. Limit to articles that report on original research. (Use document type, or subject headings, or simply include in your search a string of words such as case study or research or survey Check the thesaurus for suggested subject terms. Often, by limiting your search to peer reviewed articles, you will get a significant number of original research papers. Specify fields in which your search terms need to appear; e.g. author field, title field, subject field, abstract field, etc. (Title, abstract and subject ( tagged ) fields are particularly powerful. ) Tip: check your terminology in the Thesaurus (also known as Subjects or Topics) in the database you are using to ensure that your term or phrase is included as a subject term in the Subject Field.) Combine many terms with the AND operator the more terms you ask the database search tool to combine, the fewer records you will get. Tip: Some databases allow you to add a row if you want to combine another term(s). If this option is not given, simply use the rows provided and double up. Check your terminology in the Thesaurus (also known as Subjects or Topics) provided in each database. If you include the terms listed there you are likely to get more and higher relevancy as well. Words & phrases that are listed in the thesaurus are, in fact, subject field terms tag terms to help you find records; and you can confidently do searches with them limited to the subject field. Use truncation (also called wildcards ) to get more; e.g. If you want to search for records that include Canadian content, you might type canad*. This tells the search tool will include all words that start with that stem Canada, Canadian, canadiana, Canadians, etc. (NB. Most databases use the asterisk (*) to truncate. Ovid databases use the question mark (?). Check the help screens in each database for other ways to truncate. Search multiple databases at one time. From the Find articles & journals Library webpage, select a Vendor Aggregator such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Gale or OVID. (Alternatively, if you are already in one of the databases provided by one of these vendors, simply click on the search page Choose databases (sometimes phrased Select databases, or Multiple databases ) and select the databases you want to search together from the list provided. BIGsearch also available (most databases can be searched with this engine tools for limiting less precise, however.) 2
3 Type of publication (e.g. articles, newspapers, etc) Lock in phrases using quotation marks. This will ensure that any records displayed with have that exact phrase (and not just the two words separately in the field or record). Search using all variations of spelling e.g. behaviour or behavior (British or American spellings). Tip: truncation is useful here e.g. behavio* Limit to publications that have images Limit to date of publication (Note: records in databases are sorted by automatically by date, most recent listed first.) Do several searches. Vary your search terms and limits. When you do find a record that is on topic, have a look at the subject headings (also called descriptors or tags) and also the terms used in the title and abstract you may find some new words that will be useful for additional searches. You can limit with search preferences; e.g. You may want the records to be displayed in title format only. This quickens your scanning, at the expense of more detailed description. Limit to review articles. Tip: recommend you check the thesaurus for exact terminology - or search all possibilities; e.g. Reviews or book reviews or book review or literature review, etc. Criticism and interpretation are also helpful keywords to add sometimes. Sometimes you search for the opposite of your topic and get results; e.g. When looking for articles on long term planning, you might include the word, short term along with long term. If you are using a commonly used search term like the surname, Brown, when you are looking for a particular author, you will get a lot of records you do not want. Add another term to help identify the Brown you want; e.g. Ian Brown, or Brown and journalist Managing Your Searches & Results EXPORT: Databases usually allow you to export citations (i.e. just the record, not the full text) to RefWorks (a program provided by the Library to help researchers manage their bibliographies. Ask the staff about RefWorks if you want to learn about this program and set up an account.) Search strategy: RefWorks does not handle search strategies. Use standard options as listed below if you want to keep a record of the searches you do. PRINT, SAVE, Articles/records: Virtually all databases allow you to select/tag/add/mark the records you want to keep, and then transfer them to Folder/My research/marked items page, and then print, save, or them (full text or citation only) in a document style you choose. Remember that not all records are full text. Search strategy: Standard options: If you want also to save your search strategy, you can print the search page, or Create a folder, then select and copy the search page, then paste it into your folder. You can also select/copy/paste into an to yourself. Simply record it on paper (handwriting or typed). HELP: For saving searches: Go to the help screen in each database and type save or saving. EBSCO offers free individual accounts to students at Centennial. Click on the Sign In link on the search page to sign up. This will allow you for EBSCO databases only to save your searches and records and share your folders with others. ALERTS: Alert icon RSS feed icon Most databases also allow you to set up an account so that you can receive by or RSS feed newly added records based on the profile you establish; e.g. you may want to receive all new articles that discuss Bell Canada or the beverage industry. 3
4 THE INTERNET Use critical thinking skills especially when searching websites on the Internet quality varies widely Federal & Provincial Govt sites (selected list): Ontario e-laws Canada Dept. of Justice laws Statistics Canada (main public site) Health Canada Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion Ontario Ministry of Health & Long Term Care Ontario Ministry of Education Ontario Ministry of Community Services Canadian Social Trends (Statistics Canada) Laws and regulations of the Government of Ontario. Fulltext. Current. Laws and regulations of the Government of Canada. Fulltext. Current. As Canada s central statistical agency, Statistics Canada is legislated to serve the whole of Canada and each of the provinces. (Note: Centennial Library has ESTAT, a subset database that contains popularly requested data and some free CANSIM data. Responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health.

Centennial College Libraries e-journal articles are included and tagged - in Google Scholar 4
5 Toronto Public Library find Good Websites Our Recommendations Provides informed suggestions for websites of a wide range of business topics. Example: EVALUATING THE INTERNET Recommended sources: Toronto Public Library. Research ate my brain: the panic-proof guide to surviving homework. (c2005) Toronto: Annick Press. (See chapter on evaluating the Internet). Wolfgram Memorial Library (Widener University, Chester, PA) Evaluate web pages tutorial. UC Berkeley Finding Information on the Internet: A Tutorial Evaluating Web Pages Ithaca College. Evaluating website exercises. Google Directory Web Site Evaluation Arendt, J. (2008, April). Imperfect Tools: Google Scholar vs. Traditional Commercial Library Databases. Against the Grain, 20(2), Retrieved October 10, 2008, from Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (EBSCO) database. BOOKS & ENCYCLOPEDIAS on the shelf (also journals in paper format & videos & DVDs) Use Library Catalogues e.g. Centennial College Library Catalogue Tips: Encyclopedias vary some are general, like World Book Encyclopedia, Encyclopedia Americana, Encyclopedia Britannica - and some focus on specific topics; e.g. Access Science: McGraw Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology Online, etc. When looking for books on your topic, start by looking for exactly what you want (the specific topic). If you do not find much, try for books generally in the field - you may find books that contain chapters or sections on your specific topic (once you explore the book on the shelf); example: searching for books on elder care and stress if you do not find enough, do other more general searches for example: elder care with no reference to stress. Also, use other terms to get at the same concepts; e.g. geriatrics, older people, geriatric nursing these terms can also be used in the library catalogue. Note: Truncation symbols can also be used to make your searching easier: $ - use at the end of word stems; example: canad$ tells the search tool to look for all words starting with those five letters. You will get canada, Canadian, Canadians, canada s, canadiana, etc.? use inside words; example: wom?n tells the search tool to look for all words that start with wom, have an unknown letter next, and then ends with n. You will get both woman and women. 5
6 NOTE: Toronto is rich in library resources. As a Centennial student, you have direct borrowing privileges at other Ontario Community College Libraries. Toronto Public Library offers free Library Cards to anyone who lives, studies, works or pays taxes in Toronto. You can visit academic libraries (Ryerson University Library, University of Toronto Libraries and York University Libraries and read materials there. All provide searching of their book collections from their websites. Plagiarism Plagiarism occurs when a writer includes another person's ideas, writings, or artistic works in his or her own work without giving credit to the other person. Copy/pasting a sentence from a website into an essay without acknowledging the website is a common example. (Centennial Libraries website) For more information on Centennial College s policies on academic honesty and plagiarism go to Libraries web page: This is a program offered by Centennial Libraries to help you mange your citations, create bibliographies and help with your in-text citations.
