Outline of session Plan your search/Keywords/Boolean Choosing appropriate Sources/Databases Work with using Citations Visit the library

Major Concerns Topic Selection Narrowing the search Using the library effectively

What is your research question? “What is the Trail of Broken Treaties and how does this connect with the American Indian Movement?” Answering this question will be the focus of your research. Using keywords and keyword phrases will lead you to information about the question.

Identifying Keywords Identify the significant terms and concepts that describe your topic. –Use your research question for guidance. –Formulate your thesis statement by considering your question. Use these keywords for searching catalogs, databases and search engines for information about your subject.

Open World Cat Meta search engine for online catalogs of libraries all over the world. Search for any book using a geographic location for the closest sources. Over 9000 libraries combined. If you find it in WorldCat, and it's not in our library, we can get it through ILL.WorldCat CREATE A USER ACCOUNT

Choose Appropriate Databases Begin with Library Resources for your Subject Search several databases Think about the range of sources: books, journal articles, statistics, websites Remember: Google is not (usually) the answer

Databases: Social Sciences America: History and Life with Full Text JSTOR North American Indian Thought & Culture Project Muse Also video resources such as Films on Demand or VAST: American History on Video

EBSCO Databases America: History and Life with Full TextAmerica: History and Life with Full Text

JSTOR Includes archives of over one thousand leading academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Search by discipline: History

Project Muse Peer-reviewed journals Wide variety of humanities and social science subjects Complete journal content, including charts, graphs, and images

North American Indian Thought & Culture The collection is comprised of material that covers the entire history of North America; from 17th century accounts of the first encounters involving Indians and European colonists to the stories of aboriginals living in a 21st century world. This is a good source for locating basic or background information.

Reading citations A citation is a short, multi-part description of a specific information source. It provides the information that is needed to find that source.

Citations: Giving Credit to Sources Using Citations to locate additional sources –Areas to document: Books Periodicals: –Journal –Magazine –Newspaper Conference Reports Websites

A standard journal citation will include:  Author  Title of the article  Title of the journal  Volume number/Issue number  Publication date  Page numbers

A standard book citation will include: Author Title Publication information –City –Publishing Company –Date

A standard website citation will include: Author – if given Title of content used Title of webpage Name of organizational sponsor Publication date Date of access

GoogleGoogle: Improve Your Searches Site Specific Command What it does: searches only specific domains What to type: Trail of Broken Treaties site:edu Trail of Broken Treaties site:gov

Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature. Search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.

Google Scholar Works best for Citations Restrictions to Content –Fee-based –Often your library already owns material –We’re working on improving access

Native Issues: Internet Resources Tribal Government and Native American ResourcesTribal Government and Native American Resources Native American Documents Project Indian Affairs Laws & Treaties

Review Searching techniques Books: –Ebooks/Catalog/Open WorldCat Databases: –America: History and Life with Full Text/JSTOR/North American Indian Thought & Culture/Project Muse Google Site Search/Scholar

Helpful Things to Remember As You Complete Your Research Assignment: Read carefully, make notes, and take advantage of the resources that are available to you. Do not parrot the material: use your own words and your own style as you write. Use what you have learned about your topic to develop your own analysis of the subject. In this way, you are answering your research question.
