What Is an Abstract?

  5. Scholarly sources are concerned with academic study, especially research for individuals who need current information to stay informed of changes in their profession or area of expertise. Many scholarly journals are peer reviewedor refereed. These articles have been subjected to a rigorous approval and editing process by other scholars in that discipline. Remember: It is easy to locate scholarly resources by using databases for searching. Evaluating Information

  7. Natural language (words and phrases you would use in everyday conversations) • Flexible terminology: Synonyms and words with the same or similar meanings can be substituted • Less accurate when searching in article databases • Use with operators (AND, OR, NOT) • Predetermined terminology (such as those created by the Library of Congress or National Library of Medicine) • Terms like those found in a Thesaurus (with narrower and broader terms) • More precise when searching (most article databases have their own predetermined terminology) Keyword vs. Subject

  8. AND • Narrows your search • OR • Expands your search with synonymous terms • NOT • Excludes words from your search EBSCO databases implement Boolean searching. Boolean Operators
