Learning Objectives
Present and evaluate a Reading Compare Brainstorming vs. Fact Finding Distinguish between information which
belongs to you vs. information which does not belong to you
Examine primary data sources – surveys, interviews, observation, experimentation
Examine secondary data sources – print sources, electronic sources

Reading Exercise
A 3 to 5 minute reading to a group of your peers.
![Page 5: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Purpose
Use voice control techniques such as varying: Pitch Rate Volume Intonation
In addition you should try to maintain some eye contact with your audience while not losing your place in the reading.
![Page 6: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Helpful Hint
It is most effective if you stand for your reading to allow everyone to hear without speaking too loudly
![Page 7: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How to mark the evaluation sheet Everybody marks each other using the prepared
evaluation sheet.
The marking sheets are anonymous, but please record the reader’s name and topic poem, story about baby, Reader’s Digest article, etc.
Add up the reader’s score out of 10 and include any comments Keep comments above the cutting line.

Brainstorming vs. Fact Finding
![Page 9: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What do you remember about Brainstorming from last class?Hint:
The four rules of effective brainstorming
![Page 10: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Process of Brainstorming
Consider every possible idea, no matter how illogical or ridiculous
Be creative
![Page 11: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The four rules of effective Brainstorming: No ideas may be criticized or put down.
There is no evaluation during the idea-gathering process.
Ideas do not have to be practical. Strive for quantity.
The more ideas the better.
Combine. Brainstormers could combine ideas already mentioned by others or
improve ideas already given.
![Page 12: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fact Finding
How is it different from Brainstorming?
![Page 13: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Fact Finding?
Fact Finding means gathering the facts.
This process may help you to define the problem you are writing about or it may defend the solution you have decided on.
![Page 14: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fact Finding may be based on:
Primary Sources
Secondary Sources

Evaluating Web sources
How current is the information?
How credible is the author or source?
What is the purpose of the site?
Do the facts seem reliable?
![Page 20: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tips for Searching the Web
Use two or three search tools.
Understand case sensitivity.
Prefer uncommon words.
Omit articles and prepositions.
![Page 21: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tips for Searching the Web - continued Know your search tool.
Learn basic Boolean search strategies.
Bookmark the best.
Be persistent.
Repeat your search a week later.
![Page 22: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Boolean search strategies taken from:
http://www.ryerson.ca/library/subjects/boolhosp.html
![Page 23: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Introduction to Boolean "operators"
When searching a database, first think of keywords that best describe your topic. Then combine these keywords using Boolean "operators" to broaden or narrow your search.
![Page 24: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Most common Boolean operators: The most common Boolean operators are:
and or not
They determine how the computer searches for your keywords, and what information is returned to you.
![Page 25: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
AND:
The "and" operator tells the computer to search the database for every entry or record that has each of the words somewhere in the same entry or record.
For example, if you want information on education in Ontario, you might search the appropriate source in this way:
![Page 26: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ontario and education
![Page 27: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusion
As illustrated in the above diagram, the computer goes through its database and first retrieves every record it finds with the word Ontario and every record with the word education. It then combines the searches, and gives you only the records in which both words appear somewhere in the same record.
This is a way of narrowing a search and making it very specific.
![Page 28: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
OR
The "or" operator tells the computer to search the database for every record which has any of the words specified. Both words do not have to occur in the same record.
For example, if you want information on either stress or anxiety, you might search the appropriate source in this way:
![Page 29: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
stress or anxiety
![Page 30: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusion
As the above diagram illustrates, the computer then goes through the database and retrieves every record with stress, and every record with anxiety.
This results in a very broad search
![Page 31: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Boolean Search Strategy
Identify the concepts in your search.
List keywords that describe the concepts.
Think of alternative keywords or synonyms for expressing each concept.
Arrange synonyms for the same concept in a group.
Connect your synonyms with "or"s, and place in parentheses.
![Page 32: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Boolean Search Strategy- Continued Connect your concepts (or groups of synonyms) with "and"s,
"not"s or proximity operators.
For example, if you are looking for information on liquor laws in Ontario and Quebec, you might search as follows:(alcohol* or liquor or spirits) and (law* or legislation or licens*) and (ontario or quebec)
Select the most appropriate databases for your topic.
Consult the User's manual, if there is one, and make use of on-screen instructions and "Help" pages.
Limit by date or by "full-text" if these apply.
Evaluate the research results, redefine and re-run the search, if necessary.
![Page 33: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Different Types of Information
Information which belongs to you. Information which must be cited.
![Page 34: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Information which belongs to you Is common knowledge? Is your opinion? Is something you have known for many years? Is something you discovered through direct
experience or through your own observations? Is something you discovered during
conversations with others?
![Page 35: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

The sun shines during the daytime.
The sky is blue.
![Page 36: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Important point to remember
This information does not need to be cited.
That is, you do not have to give credit to anyone for this information.
It belongs to you.
![Page 37: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Information which does not belong to you Is acquired through reading books,
magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, etc. Is acquired through watching movies,
television, documentaries Is acquired during formal interviews or
training sessions with others Is acquired through the internet or other on-
line sources
![Page 38: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Example
E = mc2
The world supply of fossil fuels is limited.
Tuition fees are going up.
![Page 39: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Vital Point to Remember
This information must be cited to give credit where credit is due.
Citing is especially important when you are using visuals and illustrations obtained from books and articles.
![Page 40: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Remember
Using information that does not belong to you, without crediting the original author, is both:
unethical and illegal.
![Page 41: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
How to cite information
Direct quotation vs. Indirect quotation
![Page 42: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Direct quotations:
You include the information exactly as you found it, word for word.
You place quotation marks around the information, followed by a citation note which refers the reader to a list of sources.
![Page 43: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Wise writers use direct quotation for three purposes only: To provide objective background data and
establish the severity of a problem as seen by experts.
To repeat identical phrasing because of its precision, clarity, or aptness.
To duplicate exact wording before criticizing.
![Page 44: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Indirect quotation, or paraphrasing: You include information you have changed
into your own words
You do not place quotation marks around this information
You credit the author with a reference to the source of this information
![Page 45: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Reasons for crediting sources Strengthens your argument
Gives you protection
Instructs readers
![Page 46: Documentation and Basic Reserach - week 2 powerpoints](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58ed8f161a28ab53628b4695/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Thought for the Day
“If you think education is expensive – try ignorance.”
Derek Bok
