Activity 1: Finding potential resources
Part 1 (5 mins)In a brief phrase summarise your research topic? (invent one if not yet known)
Note down keywords that summarise the key concepts of your topic.
29
Discuss your topic with the person next to you and see if you can jointly findsome additional keywords.
Part 2 (5 mins)Search or browse OxLIP+ (http://oxlip-plus.bodleian.ox.ac.uk) for potentiallyuseful databases.
Try putting your keyword search terms into SOLO(http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk).

Proximity searchessearches for two or more terms appearing within a specifiednumber of words of each other
usually uses letters (e.g. N or W) and a number to specify thenumber of words covered by the search.

e.g. “Thatcher N5 Gorbachev”
Within Operator (W) - gives results where the searched wordsare within a certain number of words of one another, in theorder in which they are entered.
