Library Workshop Handout for Andean Roots: Group II
Library Workshop Handout for Andean Roots: Group II
Oct. 22, 2009
This is the handout for those who have identified themselves as somewhat skilled, advanced, or otherwise partly prepped for library research. While in the ACC lab, make sure that you are solid on the abilities listed under the first heading (" Things that it will be assumed you already know ") below. Your faculty can help if needed.
If, for example, you don't know what 'stacks' means in a library context, ask before coming over to the library classroom. If you have never used Academic Search Complete, do so now.
In the library classroom, we'll prioritize any questions that you have, and cover the content that we can in the remaining time.
Things that it will be assumed you already know:
Where the library reference desk is.
How to get to the library home page.
Using the OPAC to find books by title, author, and basic keyword.
Locating books in the stacks.
Locating books in the reference collection.
Checking books out at the Circulation desk.
Using Summit
Basic differences between a popular magazine, a scholarly journal, and a book.
How to browse or search for databases via the link Articles/Images via Databases
(on the library home page)
How to find journal articles in Academic Search Complete (ASC)
How to limit ASC searches to Scholarly journals.
Things we are likely to cover (but ask about it if you want to be sure something below gets covered) :
Are libraries necessary in the age of Google? Is our library necessary?
Background/Reference resources (see other side of this handout)
Why use Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?
Best Answer: To get free articles not available via Evergreen or the Free Web
Using one book to find other older books and articles: The Bibliography
Finding articles in general
Subscription Databases vs Free Web
Hybrid: Google Scholar
