When you go to the Education Research Guide you will find many valuable links to the key Article Databases, to the Distance Education Students pages and to Library Video Tutorials. Bookmark this page as it will be helpful to you when using the library. It also links you to RefWorks and to many other valuable resources.

8. Under Get Research Help you will find our Research Guides and also information about how to cite using APA Style.

9. When you click on How to Cite and click the tab Major Styles you will see APA (American Psychological Association) Style. This is the citation style that you will use in all your education courses.
The UBC Library APA Style Guide is very comprehensive and I would recommend that you print it out so that you have it handy to help you when citing and formatting your references.
There are also other links here that will help you with citation.

10. Under the tab Citation Management Tools there are online tools that can assist you in managing your references and in formatting them. The UBC Library subscribes to RefWorks and it is free for UBC students to use.
There are videotutorials about RefWorks that will help you learn to use it. Other tools that are freely available include Zotero and Mendeley.

11. RefWorks:

12. Login-EZProxy-Use your CWL
When you go to access library resources you need to be authenticated a UBC student. If you have logged in to your course you will need to login to the library. You can do this at the login command or after you do a search when you go to connect to the library’s electronic resources. Everybody can find out what resources we have only UBC students will be given access to electronic journal articles, books and our indexes and databases.

13. When you go to use the EZproxy Login the screen that will appear will look like this. You need to type in your campus wide login.

14. Let’s look at the rest of the UBC Library page
Let’s look at the rest of the UBC Library page. For most of your work you will use the Search box found under the General tab. The Books and Media tab takes you to our print catalogue. The Indexes and Databases Tab you will use a great deal as you will want to search in Google Scholar, Education Source or ERIC Ebsco for journal articles. You must first go to the database by searching under this tab. The Journal Titles tab is only used if you are looking for a journal title. If you want to search the Library Website click on the Library Website tab. We are now going to use the General Tab to check to see if UBC has a book title.

15. Does UBC have this book?
International Handbook of Research on Children’s Literacy, Learning and Culture
Ask – how would you search for this book?

16. Type in the title of the book into the search box under the General Tab.

17. There are two hits for this book—they are the same date
There are two hits for this book—they are the same date. They show up as eBooks with FullText Online links. Click on the eBook Full Text Online link to go to the book.

18. For this book the 3-Book Options that are given is you can read it online—the blue box or you can download the book for a specific length of time.

19. When you go to read it online the view looks like this screen with the Table of Contents showing along the left hand side. You navigate the book by clicking on the chapters and subheadings shown on the left.

20. There is also another eBook link for this book meaning that we have another copy from another company or vendor.

21. When you link to this book you will now click on Book the blue hyperlink.

22. This ebook is published by Proquest and it can also be ReadOnline or you can choose FullDownload.

23. Just to review we were searching using the general tab
Just to review we were searching using the general tab. You can use this tab to look for a book –print or ebook.

24. Use the General Tab
General Tab Summon is our search engine that provides a single access point to find the majority of UBC Library Collections including:
Print books and eBooks
Scholarly journal articles
Newspaper articles
Theses and dissertations
Book reviews
So you will use the General Tab when you are trying to locate print and eBooks, journal articles, theses and dissertations and book reviews.

25. Find an APA cited journal article . . .
Jensen, A. (2012). Early literacy: Towards a unified approach for childcare and school. Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 12, doi: /
So what if you have been given a reading or found an article listed in APA style that you want to find. When you have a reading that you are looking for then you will search for the title of the article.
In this citation we know it is a journal article because it is found in the Journal of Early Childhood Literacy. Note that this example is cited using APA style -- the journal title Journal of Early Childhood Education is in italics and the volume 12 is also in italics. The page numbers for the article are given and then because this article is online the doi or digital object identifier is given at the end. This doi is very important –it is a unique number for this specific article. It is like the ISBN of the journal article world.
Ask – How would you search for this article?
Could search by title (general), or through the journal (journal) or by DOI (general)

26. When we go to search for this article using the General Tab and we type in the title of the article into the search box.

27. The search will be conducted and the results displayed
The search will be conducted and the results displayed. The article is displayed first and you can see it is an online journal article. Click on the Full Text Online.

28. Click on Full Text Online to see a digital copy.
If for some reason you have a problem downloading the article or getting access to it then click on Access problems and fill out the form indicating the problem you are having. You will receive an response within a day assisting you with the problem.

30. When you open the pdf you will then see the save, print download menu bar appear when you hover over the article. This is what you will use to save the article.

31. So from the UBC Library page we were using the General tab to look for a book title and a journal article title that we wanted to find. We can also use the General Tab to do a search for articles on a topic.

32. Find Articles—Use the General Tab
When you search for a topic using the general tab the search box operates like Google as you can string your search terms together. In this case I want early childhood education in British Columbia. I put quotation marks around British Columbia because I want that as an exact phrase.

33. When we do the search we can limit our results by choosing journal articles under Content Type and also we can limit by publication date. I wanted to choose articles that were published between 2010 and 2015.
On the right handside you will see a symbol of a folder with a plus sign. This means that I can put an article record into a temporary folder. The folder has special properties that can be very helpful.

34. At the top of the page you will see that there is now one item saved in the folder. The folder has special properties which can help you with your citations.

35. When I click on the folder the item record will be displayed
When I click on the folder the item record will be displayed. At the top is a drop down menu where I can choose a citation format, I can also choose to export the reference, print it or it to a friend.
When I choose APA style it will format my item in APA style. I could then copy and paste this citation into my bibliography. Is the citation totally correct – no it isn’t. You would need to correct the errors. As well there is no doi given for this article.

36. Finding articles on a topic
Use the General Tab
Search Google Scholar through the UBC Library
Use a database such as Education Source, Eric (Ebsco) or CBCA Complete
Recap – we have been using the UBC general search tab/Summon to find books and articles that we know the title of, and for books and articles on a topic by using keywords.
When searching for journal articles on a topic I would recommend searching first using the General Tab, then try Google Scholar but use Google Scholar through the UBC Library as if it is one of our Indexes and Databases and then for more specific subject searching use a database such as Education Source, ERIC (Ebsco) or CBCA Complete.

37. Google Scholar, Summon, and Subject Databases
What’s the difference between Google Scholar, Summon, and Subject databases?

38. Find Articles Use Google Scholar
Not a subset of Google
Finds books, scholarly articles and web pages
Remember to use Google Scholar through the UBC Library so it links you to our e-resources
So we are going to go to the Indexes and Databases tab—type in Google Scholar.

39. It will be displayed as a database and then we want to link to Google Scholar. When we do we will be prompted for our Campus Wide Login if we haven’t already logged in. The instructions in yellow show you how to change your settings in Google Scholar. If you have a Google account these settings will be saved so you will always be recognized as a UBC student when on Google Scholar.

41. Google scholar doesn’t have the same features as other databases in terms of being able to tease out scholarly articles, but it does allow you to narrow your search down by date of publication.
You can see that there are books and articles.
When you see UBC eLink you know you have access to this article as a UBC student.

42. Find Articles Use a Database
We used the Indexes and Databases tab to find Google Scholar. If you know the specific database you want, search for it in the Find Index/Database box.
If you don’t know any of the databases, try the Education Subject guide. Here you can search for guides on just about every subject at UBC, put together by our UBC librarians.
Let’s click on the Subject Guides link now, and find the one for Education.

43. guides.library.ubc.ca/education

44. Choose Education Source from the Education Research Guide
Search for articles about use of play in early learning and kindergarten.
Think of synonyms . . .
kindergarten, early childhood education, primary education, elementary, young children
Any volunteers to show what you found?
