Books
Good for background
Comprehensive
Information may not be as current as what you would find in journal articles or web sites.
That might or might not be important.
![Page 12: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Scholarly” Journals• Periodicals used by researchers
to share their findings with one
another and the public.
• They contain articles describing
new research or ideas written
in a formal manner that
includes background
information, methods used,
results/interpretation and
significance.
• Research articles are peer-
reviewed
![Page 13: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Scholarly Journals
How do I tell?
• May contain graphs and charts.
• Written by a scholar in the field or
by someone who has done
research in the field. Degrees
attained and institutional
affiliations are often included by
the authors’ names.
• Always cite their sources in the
form of footnotes or
bibliographies
• No glossy pages or pictures
![Page 14: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Popular Magazines
How do I tell?
• Slick, glossy and attractive in
appearance.
• Lots of graphics (photographs,
drawings, etc.).
• Articles are usually very short,
written in simple language .
• Generally little depth to the
content of these articles.
![Page 16: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Web vs. Libraries
• When you use a research
or academic library, the
books, journals and other
resources have already
been evaluated by
scholars, publishers and
librarians.
• When you are using the
freely available World
Wide Web, none of this
applies.

Finding Articles
To find Articles, use a database or index
• A database is a collection of citations for articles or similar information
• Some databases will contain full texts of articles
• Some databases are specific (such as Education or Business) and some cover many subjects
![Page 39: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Finding Articles
• Find full-text articles OR
– Find a citation
– Check to see if your library
has the journal in another
database – If not, we can
order it for you via
InterLibrary Loan.

To find articles, choose a database.
![Page 41: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
This shows a list of general databases.
These are called multi-disciplinary, which means you can find
information about many subjects.

SUITABILITY
• Scope.
Is this a general work that provides an overview of the topic or is it specifically focused on only one aspect of your topic? Is it relevant?
Does the resource cover the right time period that you are interested in?
• Audience. Who is the intended audience for this source? Is the material too technical or too clinical?
• Timeliness. When was the source published?
![Page 60: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Objectivity
• What point of view does
the author represent?
• Is the article an editorial
that is trying to argue a
position?
• Is the article published in a
magazine that has a
particular editorial
position?
![Page 61: Lbst280](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55ab73671a28aba54b8b4594/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
