STUFF

LIBRARIAN

Research as Inquiry

Research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions whose answers in turn develop additional questions or lines of inquiry.

Searching as Strategic Exploration

Searching for information is often nonlinear and iterative, requiring the evaluation of a range of information sources and the mental flexibility to pursue alternate avenues as new understanding develops.

DATABASE

BROWSING A

Databases have more functionality than just searching.

They allow for browsing and following a trail of interests through the literature.

We'll look at how this works in Education Source, our most comprehensive education database.

TERMS

SEARCH

what is your main topic?

what are the specifics?

The more ways you have to describe your ideas, the wider net you can cast in your searching.

what are different ways to describe your ideas?

Can art classes be incorporated as a creative or emotional outlet for BIPOC children?

art classes

community
emotional outlet

creative outlet
self celebration
social justice
inter-generational trauma

STRATEGIES

SEARCH

use AND to connect terms

art class AND emotional outlet AND trauma

combining different terms = different results

art class AND emotional outlet AND community building

use OR to connect synonyms

elementary OR primary AND art class AND emotional outlet AND trauma

use "..." for phrases or names

"active learning", "bell hooks"

use database filters to narrow your search

use the database thesaurus for targeted searches

you may need to broaden your search
