37Back to Searching
38Assuming scholarly lit review
- Determine question
- Break question into conceptual units
- For example adolescent obesity prevention
- Adolescent
- Obesity
- Prevention
- Determine ( keep track of) synonyms for each unit
39Thinking about the literature
- Be flexible
- Record efforts
- Record terminology
- Keep track of results
- Question How can a bibliographic management
system help?
40Flexibility Terminology Synonyms, examples
- Adolescent
- Adolescent, adolescence, junior high school,
middle school students, high school students,
teen, teens, teenagers, youth, 13-18 year old - Obesity
- Overweight, obese, obesity, heavy, chubby
- Prevention
- Prevention, preventive, preventative, educate,
teaching, programs, etc.
41Terminology ( exercise)
- Boolean sets, ex. At risk students in this class
- Who is married (M) or has children (C)
oremployed (E) or minority (m) or male (a)or
short - Who is married, w/kids, employed, minority,
male short
s
C
M
m
E
a
42Why synonyms
- Different disciplines use different terms
- Interdisciplinary publications
- political correctness over time
43Find articles about a topic
- Check the references at the back of an article
(gets older stuff) - Do a web search (gets free stuff)
- database subject search
- database article cited ref search (articles
related by references)
44Where is the literature listed
- Full text, unanalyzed publications
- Flipping through your favorite journal
- Someone gave it to you
- Browsing a journals website
- On the web somewhere
- Analyzed described via an index/abstract
(database) - Someone elses list (bibliography)
45Examples of locations
- Full text, unanalyzed publications
- ScienceDirect other publishers sites, Web,
print journals - Analyzed described via an index/abstract
(database) - CINAHL, MedLine, PsycInfo, Web of Knowledge
- Someone elses list (bibliography)
- Back of articles
- Within review articles practice standards
46Index (database) vs. Fulltext
- Fulltext
- Can be most current
- Can be searched intellectually casually
- By keyword phrases
- Print (copy) and go
- Index Databases (may include abstracts)
- Like materials grouped by topic
- Inclusion selected by experts
- Well defined topic terminology (thesauri)
47Database caveats
- Nothing has everything.
- The more general the coverage, the less specific
the descriptions. - The more scholarly the database, the more tricky
things you can do. - Vendors are linking to fulltext as fast as the
contracts can be made.
48Some Databases
- GENERAL SCIENCEScienceDirect (fulltext)Web of
Knowledge (links items by common reference) - HEALTH RELATEDMedline/ PubMed (abstracts, some
links to fulltext)Health Source Nursing/Academic
(includes fulltext) CINAHL (abstracts, some
links to fulltext) Health Reference Center
(includes fulltext) - PSYCHOSOCIAL PsycInfo
49Using CINAHL
- What CINAHL is not
- For the most part, it does not include entire
articles some links to Full-text materials. - What to use after CINAHL
- Check UTA Libraries Electronic Magazines and
Journals page for possible electronic editions. - Check UTA Librarys catalog to see if any
particular journal is available. - If an item is not in the Library, use I.L.L.
