About This Worksheet

There are seven (7) tasks set in this information skills assessment worksheet,including

Drawing a knowledge map / concept map of your research topic; Recording your most effective information search strategies. These are

searches of library catalogues; journal and conference literature databases, andinternet search engines;

Identifying high-value, high-content publications on your research topic; Submitting a bibliography of the most relevant references.This worksheet will be marked by your project supervisor.

On completion of this worksheet you should have formed an information retrieval

strategy that will allow you to discover highly relevant published scholarly, tradeand professional literature that will underpin your research project.

Advice and guidance on developing an effective information retrieval strategy isavailable from

QUT Library web site, including relevant library subject guides; Librarian at Librarys Learning and Research Desk(V block level 3); Ask a Librarian online reference service; Consultation with an engineering librarian (by appointment only).

1. Concept MapDraw a basic knowledge map / concept map that defines your topic

graphical tools that organize knowledge. Refer to Blackboard site for guidance on.

Next this worksheet requires you to take terms and phrases from your conceptmap to iteratively develop and refine search strategies.

2. Library Catalogue SearchesSearch the QUT Library catalogue and the BONUS+ consortium catalogue

Keyword searches Record several effective search keyword search statements.Ensure you show the Boolean search operators e.g., AND, OR, NOTthat connectyour terms. Use parentheses to group synonyms and to order precedence of search

execution.

Cylinder HeadAND Intake ORExhaust Cylinder HeadAND Port*AND Design FlowAND Swirl ChargingAND Engine ValveAND TimingAND Design EngineAND Turbulence

Subject searches - List the Library of Congress Subject headings (LCSH)

assigned to the most relevant and useful catalogue records / citations. Most Englishlanguage academic libraries use this same LCSH subject vocabulary. Hint Thesedescriptors are labelled Subject in the record display of most catalogues:

Four-Stroked Cycle Engines Super Chargers Internal Combustion Engines Turbulence Motor Vehicles

Search the BONUS+ catalogue (consortium of 13 Australian + NZ universitylibraries) for relevant titles. Cite the most relevant title found via BONUS+:

Burgess, P., & Gollan, D. (2006). How to build, modify & power tune cylinderheads. Dorchester, England: Veloce.

3. Database SearchShow an efficient search from a relevant bibliographic database

List the most useful database searched: Identify this database (and if applicable, itsdelivery platform). e.g., Inspec (via Engineering Village); Materials ResearchDatabase with METADEX (via ProQuest); ASCE Online Research Library:

SAE Digital Library

For your database of choice, record the most effective search statement you used.Include your Boolean search operators e.g., AND, NEAR, ADJ, OR, NOT.

Cylinder HeadAND chargingAND "port design" NOT Diesel

From the most relevant and useful search result / citationRecord the assigned controlled vocabulary subject headings / index terms /descriptors. Note: If there are no assigned subject descriptors in your database of

choice, there may well be author supplied keywords. Indicate if this is the case:

Fuel Consumption Spark Ignition Gasoline Engines

Briefly comment on the scope of this, your chosen database and why it proved tobe of high value to your literature search:

The database is beneficial to my literature search as the scope of the SAE (Societyof Automotive Engineers) Digital Library is heavily focused on automotive

applications where a large range of technical papers and texts relevant to myresearch problem can be found.

4. High-Value, High-Content Publications of RelevanceIdentify rich / key information sources

Cite the most useful publication sources applicable to your research topic.Attempt to list (at least) one of each type

5. Published AuthoritiesResearchers who have published on your topic

Name up to three (3) published authors who are clearly expert on your topic. Youcan judge this from the extent and quality of material they have published. If it isgiven, list their latest institutional affiliation, (i.e., where they work). Your expert

may well have a professional web page that lists their more recent publications.

Hermann Hiereth

Peter Burgess

Gordon P. Blair

6. Internet SearchShow (at least one) efficient search strategy from an Internet search engine

Record the Internet search engine used:

Google

Write down the most effective search statement. Include Boolean keyword, keyphrase searching, and any search limiters (e.g., date, language, domain restrictors)used:

cylinder headAND development*

Cite the three (3) most useful web sites that host relevant information on yourresearch topic. Use the QUT APA (Author Year) style as defined in QUT cite | writeto record these web sites. For each of the web sites you cite, add a short commenton the quality of the information found (e.g., reliability, accuracy, authenticity,objectivity, authority, currency, etc.):
