8. The Research Process

9. 8 Writing a scholarly paper usually requires references from the academic and/or professional literature. Getting the best references requires information literacy, which includes knowing how to search the literature for the most recent and best information on your topic, and how to use a library to obtain the articles and books desired.

10. 9 Information Literacy Information Literacy is defined as the ability to find, use, and evaluate information. TILT is a information literacy tutorial produced by the University of Texas. Through TILT you can learn the basics of the library research process. The tutorial generally takes about an hour to complete. Follow your professors directions for forwarding your answers to the quiz at the end of each of the four modules.

11. Access to TILT TILT is accessed via the Internet. As a result, it may not always be available. We recommend that you do not wait until the last minute to use it. Click on TILT to access this informationTILT literacy program. A small portion of Module 2 is only available to University of Texas students. Thank you to the University of Texas for allowing us to use TILT.

85. 84 Remember that access to the electronic journals off campus is only possible with an EZ-Proxy connection.

86. 85 Try this now by linking to the EZ Proxy via MyFAU. MyFAU You may want to review the last few slides before doing this search.

87. 86 Direct access to the electronic databases containing nursing journals can also be done from the Databases for Articles Page.

88. 87 The most commonly used databases are OVID and CINAHL. For direct access to OVID, use Quick Links.

89. 88 Journals@OVID Full Text Important features & information OVID is a well-respected & useful database. OVID Is an aggregate of hundreds of scientific, technical, and medical journals from over 50 publishers and societies. -- from OVID Technologies Field Guideaggregate OVID provides access to full text articles and to articles which have citations and abstracts only. Coverage is from 1996 to the current year.

90. 89 Access to Journals@OVID Full Text If you get the following message: Error: The database is not available. All user licenses are currently in use. Please try again later you have not done anything wrong! The FAU library subscription to Journals@OVID Full Text allows for a limited number of users of the site at any one moment in time.

128. Glossary

129. Glossary - A Academic journal articles This refers to articles found in periodicals that are considered scholarly. One way in which these differ from popular, sensational or news magazines is that they cite their sources in footnotes or bibliographies. Articles from academic journals are preferred for student research. (Return to presentation.) (Return to presentation.) Aggregate A collection of particulars into a whole. Journals@OVID Full Text is described as an aggregate because it draws from many sources to create its unified database. Many of the libraries databases are aggregated in the sense that they collect article or citation entries from many unrelated publishers. (Return to presentation.)

130. Glossary - B Book catalog Libraries traditionally have used a Card Catalog with which to find what a library owned. One could search by title, subject or author to find material. This basic system has been transferred to electronic databases, usually referred to as Online Catalogs. FAU s online catalog for books and all library holdings has been incorporated into ALEPH and is available on the Internet. Searching in online databases allows for greater flexibility. For example, in an online catalog, it is possible to search by keyword and call number and to specify location, format and language. (Return to presentation.)

131. Glossary - B (continued) Bookmark A list of favorite web pages (URLs) saved in your browser, so you can have quick and easy access to them later. These saved URLs are called Bookmarks, by Netscape, while Internet Explorer calls them Favorites. (Return to presentation.)Return to presentation

132. Glossary - C Call numbers Most academic libraries employ the Library of Congress Classification System in order to tag a book s location within the library collection. This system groups books of like subject matter together and assigns each subject a combination of letters and numbers. Every book is labeled with its appropriate LC (Library of Congress) call number. This number is usually typed on a white label and placed on the book s spine or front cover. An example of an LC call number is BF456.79.L53 1999. (Return to presentation.)Return to presentation Circulating item Any material that can be checked-out and removed from the library for personal use for a designated time period is a circulating item. (Return to presentation.)Return to presentation

133. Glossary - C (continued) Citations The basic elements of a citation are: Author, Title and Publication information. Once you have a citation, you can use the information to find the item, whether a book, article, or website. When writing a research paper, it is customary to cite your sources so that your reader is able to find the identical item which was used for your research. (Return to presentation.)Return to presentation

134. Glossary - C (continued) Comprehensive Journals List The MacArthur Campus Library has created a web page where students can search for a journal by title and then link into a database where the full text is found. Students can also search a second list to find journal titles shelved or stored in the library at the John D. MacArthur Campus Library. In many cases where a journal is not available electronically, it may be available in print or microfiche formats. The majority of journals in paper and microformat can be found by searching the FAU Libraries book catalog. (Return to presentation.)Return to presentation

135. Glossary - D Databases An electronic medium in which information can be stored and retrieved. Library database: These contain citations, abstracts, full text articles, images and other files. They are available by subscription from publishers and often contain archives (back issues) and current articles from a wide variety of journals.
