  2. The Research Process A+ Step Four: Present Step Three: Analyze and Evaulate Step Two: Find Information Step One: Identify and Articulate

  3. refworks

  4. RefWorks • Create an account on a virtual server • Create folders for storing citations • Add citations • RefGrabIt • Import from databases/indexes • Format in-text citations; create bibliography

  5. Refworks Login

  6. RefWorks does NOT create perfect Reference Lists • You need to proofread! RefWorks Group Code = RWUOIT

  7. Importing to Refworks • Depends on the database you are using! • Instructions for various databases can be found here: http://www.uoit.ca/EN/library/main/research_help/404822/404831/refworks.html

  8. Step One • Determine the nature and extent of information needed…

  9. Nature? • Books • Articles • Magazines • Newspapers • Journals • Peer-reviewed? • Government Reports • Statistics • Laws, Cases

  10. Extent? • Crimes against children • Ages of the children • Types of crimes • So what? • Organized crime • What kind of organized crime? • Specific gang? • So what?

  11. Clearly, we will need to NARROW our topic. How?

  12. types school initiatives bullying ages children psychology abuse Impact on Dev’t sexual parent extent of information needed

  13. Use a TRUSTED SOURCE to get an overview of your topic. Textbook Reference Book News or Magazine Website Why NOT a wiki?

  14. Source: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/05/07/2562940.htm See also:http://oncampus.macleans.ca/education/2009/05/11/irish-student-dupes-media-with-wikipedia/

  15. Subject Encyclopedias in the Library • Print • Encyclopedia of Criminology • Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement • Encyclopedia of Crime Scene Investigation • Encyclopedia of International Organized Crime • Encyclopedia of White Collar Crime • Encyclopedia of Interpersonal Violence • Online • Sage Reference Online • http://www.sage-ereference.com.uproxy.library.dc-uoit.ca/ • Gale Virtual Reference Library • http://go.galegroup.com.uproxy.library.dc-uoit.ca/ps/start.do?p=GVRL&u=ko_acd_uoo&authCount=1

  16. So What? • Draft your THESIS STATEMENT • “Victims of childhood bullying are more likely to demonstrate aggressive behaviour as adults.”

  17. Keywords • Childhood • Bullying • Aggressive • Adults • Behaviour (Behavior??)

  18. Step Two • Access information effectively and efficiently….

  19. Next Steps? • Google/Internet? • Google Scholar? • What happens when Google or other search engines are insufficient or not helpful for your topic?

  20. About Google Scholar • Ensure your preferences are set to include the UOIT Library. • Allows you to look up full text of articles in our databases • Will link to our library catalogue to look up books • Direct import into RefWorks (citation manager) http://www.uoit.ca/EN/library/Tools/refworks.html

  21. Click on “Scholar Preferences”

  22. 2. Be sure to Save • Find the UOIT Library and check the checkbox • “Find It@UOIT”

  23. Literature searching in the library

  24. Library Catalogue • 50-100 words to describe each book • How many pages does a book typically have? • Search fields: • Title • Author • Publisher • Subject terms • We are NOT searching (usually): • Chapter titles • Summaries • Contents

  25. Journal Indexes • Contain references to articles • May or may not be subject-specific • Some contain full text • “FindIt” feature links databases together to find full text content

  26. Simple Article Searching

  27. Library Databases do not use the same language as Google! • Need to use Boolean Searching…

  28. Translating a Google Search • Google: childhood bullying aggressive adult • Library: childhood AND bullying AND aggressive AND adult • Better Library Search: Child* AND bully* or bullied AND aggressive or violent AND adult*

  29. Boolean Searching: A Summary • Use AND to connect unique concepts • bullying AND children • Use OR to connect synonyms • bully OR bullied • Use * to include all endings on a root word • adult*

  30. Boolean Searching: A Game! • Practice your Boolean Searching by playing “Snakes and Ladders”… • http://faculty.uoit.ca/pratt/Doyle/Boolean%20Snakes%20and%20Ladders/index.htm
