OhioLINK
Group of 84 college and university libraries
OhioLINK Central Catalog allows you to borrow books from any of the libraries
Takes 4-5 days for book to arrive
Keep the book for 3 weeks; renew once
GREAT resource!

OhioLINK
More than Books!!
Research Databases allow you to find articles that have been published in scholarly journals and in magazines.
Many are full-text – but not all.
![Page 7: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Common Searching Features
Boolean Operators/Connectors
Keyword/Controlled vocabulary
Phrase searching
Truncation
![Page 9: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Truncation: To Get Word Variations
Truncation makes it easier for you to get allvariations of a word.
Some systems use the asterisk * to truncateexample: Academic Search Premier
Some use the dollar sign $ example: Biological Abstracts
![Page 10: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

11
Boolean Operators -- OR
Use OR to broaden a search
The words connected by OR should be synonyms or be alternative ways of saying something
For example:
salmon OR fish
fisheries OR hatcheries
![Page 12: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Boolean Operators -- AND
Use AND to combine two different concepts or ideas
This helps narrow your search
salmon AND fisheries
salmon AND disease
![Page 13: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
“Phrase Searching”
This feature allows you to search for words as phrases.
Some databases automatically search words as a phrase; other databases require you to use quotation marks around the phrase
“invasive species”
“biological diversity”
![Page 14: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Cautions about Phrase Searching
Phrase searching in databases is not the same as the WebIf you type the following in Google:
impact of invasive species on ecosystems
you will get 100,000 hits because Google looks for each word separately
![Page 15: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Cautions about Phrase Searching
If you type:
impact of invasive species on ecosystems
in KentLINK or OhioLINK or in a database, you might get zero results, because you are asking the system to look for that EXACT phrase
![Page 16: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Instead use Boolean Logic:
“invasive species” AND ecosystems
loosestrife AND (ponds or lakes)
“zebra mussels” AND “lake erie”
![Page 17: 1 BSCI 10110 Biological Diversity Mary Lee Jensen Liaison Librarian for Biological Sciences 330-672-1661 or mjensen@kent.edumjensen@kent.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d785503460f94a5a9cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Revising Your Search:Use Booleans to Your Advantage
Too many hits on your topic?
Add another search term with AND.
Too few hits on your topic?
Add another search term OR.
