Overview
Web resources
Database searching

Internet Searching There are some good search engines• Google Scholar
and many high quality websites and gateways• Intute
but many websites have no quality controls and need careful evaluation
so one of the best internet resources for you is…

1st break
Get together in pairs for 10 minutes and use the library website to answer the questions given on the handout
![Page 10: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Research information needs to be..
High quality – peer reviewed
Up to date
Relevant
Comprehensive
![Page 12: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Publishers websites

Databases and Indexes up to date information from peer
reviewed publications
well indexed enabling detailed searching
contain abstracts of the articles retrieved
may to link to full text where available
coverage can include conferences, reports, books, theses
![Page 14: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
but they don’t cover everything.
So…

2nd Break
Get together in pairs for 10 minutes and answer the questions on the handout
![Page 19: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Specialist databases and indexes
![Page 20: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Searching techniques (1)
Search statements retrieve exact matches
Use Boolean operators (and,or,not) to combine search terms
![Page 21: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Boolean Logic
a AND b
a OR b
a NOT ba a a
b b b
Can be used to join different search terms
![Page 22: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Searching techniques (2)
Use truncation, stemming and wild cards (symbols vary between databases)
Phrase searching
Think carefully about what terms to use and how to enter them
![Page 23: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Truncation
Finds words with a common stem (normally * symbol, $ in WebCat / Medline)
Aero* will find:• Aeroplane• Aeroplanes• Aerospace
![Page 24: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Wildcards
Replace a single character (normally ? symbol)
Wom?n will find both woman and women
Engine? will find both engine and engines but not engineering
Colo?r will find both colour and color
![Page 25: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Phrase Searching
Some databases search for a phrase if Boolean operators are not present
Others require phrases to be enclosed in quotation marks “ ”
Note that truncation and stemming do not always work with phrase searching
![Page 26: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Examples of combining search terms and using truncations
![Page 27: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Faculty of Physical & Applied Sciences Postgraduates Library Information Resources 2011/12.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d2c5503460f94a02668/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
