  10. 2. Search for Articles Business Databases For this tutorial, we will focus on Business Journal Article Databases But remember, there are business databases available for many different types of information

  11. 2. Search for Articles Generating Search Words Let’s search for articles about “the development of code of ethics” There are a few ways to come up with search words, we can use: OR to include similar concepts & get more results AND to combine concepts & focus a search NOT to exclude a concept (e.g. ethics NOT Enron) code of ethics OR ethics code Code of ethics AND development Now it’s time to put these tools to use…

  12. 2. Search for Articles Business Article Databases We will look at the database Business Source Complete today However, most article databases offer similar search functions, so what you learned here will also be useful for future assignments

  13. 2. Search for Articles Business Source Complete (BSC) This search combines two concepts, code of ethics AND development Note we are including both the words develop AND development to include different words that covers this concept

  14. 2. Search for Articles BSC – Narrowing Results There are a few ways to focus your search results even more We can narrow your search results further by clicking on one of the suggested subject or concept words For instance, narrow the search to “leadership” or “corporate culture” in the contexts of developing code of ethics

  15. 2. Search for Articles BSC – Results by Publication Type There are a few ways to focus your search results even more We can also narrow results to a particular type of publication: Academic Journals are written by and for scholars and experts in a given field of study, and provide in-depth analysis of an issue Trade Publication & Magazines are usually written by the journalist for the general public, and contains concise, practical info, but with less in-depth analysis You are likely expected to use articles from Academic Journals, sometimes with few articles from other types of publications
