  18. IV. JSTOR is a multidisciplinary database and a great source if you are searching for articles in history, anthropology, language, literature, art or science. More than 150 journals full text are indexed.

  19. IV. JSTOR is a multidisciplinary database and a great source if you are searching for articles in history, anthropology, language, literature, art or science.

  20. V. Internet Search Engines: URL & Open Sources (Google Scholar, OPENDOAR, OAISTER) The Internet has hundreds of search engines to assist such as DOAJ, Oaister, BioMed Central, WEB MD, WHOLIS, RXlist, ENTREZ, HIGHWIRE Press, Google books, Google Scholar, etc. Consider the source when using the Internet: –Is the source credible? (Nationally recognized & academic- peer review journals). –Keep in mind that almost anything one can imagine may be found on the Internet and non credible material as well

  21. By identifying the domain in the URL, you know what University, Institution or Government Agency is responsible of the document and therefore the information’s credibility. Uniform Resource Locator (URL) The URL is important because it tells the reader the EXACT location you retrieved the information. However, there is a structure to the URL. Let’s examine the structure of the URL from the previous slide: http://scholar.google.com/?hl=en http: The Internet protocol that sends information from the server to the computer Scholar . google: 1st part of the domain name identifying Google Scholar as the host for the specific web page com: 2nd part of the domain known as the top level domain. This informs the user of the type of organization, commercial. Can you guess what .edu denotes? Right, educational institution ! Unfortunately, when conducting Internet research the domain name alone may not provide enough information for the reader to retrieve the source. So...next slide, please!

  22. Google ScholarKeep it simple when searching the Internet: look at dates, sources and full text. Domain : journal (BMJ) and Type of Organization: (com) commercial Domain (University of Virginia) and Type of Organization : (edu) education Please filter your results by year and checking (pdf= full text), the domain and organization.

  23. Example Google Scholar: Critical thinking and online education + 2014 Search using terms, see Tutorials http://www.usuniversity.edu/library/database-tutorials/ Research Topics and Terms Texas Digital Library Journal of Educational Technology & Society

  24. Do not forget to copy/paste the URL of the article; you will need it for your APA citation. Remember that Google Scholar is not a data base like PROQUEST, EBSCO, JSTOR & ACCESS MEDICINE. http://www.annals.org/content/146/9/666.full?ijkey=9ed3ff97541931accaa7959397f7c13b83d9e333 The domain http://jme.bmj.com/content/25/5/394.full.pdf+html Journal of Medical Ethics The domain By the American College of Physicians

  25. Learn how to cite an article retrieved from Google Scholar Vs. aDatabase Google Scholar: Lynn, J., Baily, M., Bottrell, M., Jennings, B., Levine, R., Davidoff, F., et al. (2007). The ethics of using quality improvements methods in health care. Annals of Internal Medicine, 146(9), 666-673. Retrieved from http://www.annals.org/content/146/9/666.full?ijkey=9ed3ff97541931accaa7959397f7c13b83d9e333 Also, typing or pasting the URL in the address bar takes the reader to the article. Before going to the next slide to see how I retrieved the article, type or paste the URL in the address bar and see if it works for you. Database: Robson, L. (2010). The superego speaks. New Statesman, 139(4986), 44-45. Retrieved from Academic Search Premier Database. Copy & paste the URL Type the Database name

  26. Open Sources: OPENDOAR, DOAJ & OAISTER, are good sources when searching for multicultural information OPENDOAR = Directory of Open Access Repositories. http://opendoar.org/ 2714 repositories 09/10/14 Full Text articles, theses, Documents. DOAJ= Directory of Open Access Journals http://doaj.org/ 9,982Journals 5,859 searchable at Article level 134 Countries 1,718,686 Full Text Articles

  29. VI. PLAGIARISM • What is plagiarism? • A. Webster (www.webster.com ) defines plagiarize as: • To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own: use (another's production) without crediting the source (transitive verb) • To commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source (intransitive verb) • B. According to the Publication Manual of the APA 6thEdition & MLA Handbook (Gibaldi, 2003) there are several forms of plagiarism: • Claiming the words and ideas of another as their own • Obtain and submit as your own a paper written by someone else

  30. Some wise advice: • 3. Repeating or paraphrasing wording • 4. Taking a particularly apt phrase • 5. Paraphrasing an argument or presenting a line of thinking • C. Please review theUS University definition and policy regarding plagiarism at: US University Catalog p. 25-26. • http://www.usuniversity.edu/downloads/USU_Catalog.pdf • 1)Click on the link above, then in the Table of Contents, see or Click ―Student Conduct • OR • 2)Copy and paste the link above in your address bar and press enter on the keyboard

  31. Plagiarizing according to the MLA handbook (Gibaldi, 2003) You have plagiarized if: –You took notes that did not distinguish summary/paraphrase from quotation and then presented wording from the notes as if it were all your own –While browsing the web, you copied text and pasted it into your paper without quotation marks or without citing the source –You presented facts without saying where you found them –You took someone else’s unique or particularly apt phrase without acknowledgment –You paraphrased someone else’s argument or presented someone else’s line of thought without acknowledgement –You brought or otherwise acquired a research paper and handed in part or all of it as your own

  32. Avoiding plagiarism Avoiding plagiarism according to the MLA handbook (Gibaldi, 2003) You can avoid plagiarizing by: –Making a list of writers and viewpoints you discovered in your research and double checking the presentation material in your paper –Keeping the following categories distinct in your notes: (a) your ideas, (b) your summaries of others’ materials, and (c) exact wording you copy –Identifying the sources of all borrowed material—exact wording, paraphrases, ideas, arguments, and facts –Checking with your Professor when you are uncertain about your use of sources. O.K., now that we’re clear on the fundamentals of ProQuest, EBSCO, ACCESS MEDICINE & JSTOR access, Internet use, and plagiarism, let me provide just a few tips to make your Information Literacy journey at US University even more enjoyable
