In this session we’re going to go over the basic steps for finding a few journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology articles on a topic. This is not meant to be an explanation of how did you in-depth research that requires planning and thinking about the kinds of evidence. You’ll need to find this video is going to be mostly about the mechanics of searching and along the way. I’ll explain a little bit. How all the articles and scholarly journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology are indexed and disseminated. Because knowing about that will help you use library tools efficiently. So what is the process of finding journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology articles on the topic. The library has a lot of databases that index journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology articles by their subject. How do you know which one to use. So that’s where we’ll start that’s number one. The next step is knowing how to do. Keyword searches number three in the process is looking through the results list. What tips do librarians have for doing. This quickly. Not missing the good stuff but not wasting time on things. That aren’t very useful for your book. Number four in the process is refining your searches and improving them as you go along and finally the last part of search mechanics is how to locate the full text of the articles that you want so. Let’s begin when you get to the library website. You want to look for the gateway to finding journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology articles on the Penn libraries home page. You can click on the databases tab. You have some choices. If you’re really just looking for a way to get started you can use obscure mega file. Which is a multidisciplinary index of journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology articles. So you can search articles from all different disciplines and you’ll most likely find some good ones if you’re doing in-depth research in a particular fields you’ll want to select an article index that specializes in that field. You can see that there are many databases at pen. Clicking on any of these links will get you to databases for that particular fields. Let’s go to the next step using keyword. Searching to find articles let’s use a criminology topic.
As an example so we’ll select criminology and see what databases we might use. These lists of relevant databases are prepared by librarians. It’s usually a good idea to start with one near the top of the list. Let’s choose criminal justice abstracts now we can think about our keyword strategy as an example. Let’s say we want to research how police forces plan for the security of spectators at big public events like sports events. Now we want to look and see which of these articles might give us a good overview of the topic if you want to be efficient and careful about evaluating the results lists what should you do. The titles of articles can often tell you whether the article will be useful to you but not always here are some other things to check the journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology name. For example the first article here comes from a journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology for IT professionals so if IT security isn’t your main concern you know. This article won’t be of much use. Another thing to look at is the number of pages. A really short article might just be a brief news item. And not what you’re looking for either looking at the official subject headings for articles can tell you if you’ve used pretty good keywords. In this case both security and sports events are showing up in the keywords. So this results list should have something that will work for you if you need to refine your search look at subject headings that match your topic you can also always consult the librarian for these results. If you scroll down a bit you’ll come across something. That looks promising on the security of sports mega-events. This article is over ten pages long so it’s a substantial article. It comes from an academic journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology which lets us know that it will be well researched and will very likely include citations to other good resources in its references section and the data’s recent so the information will be current. We’re now the last step getting the full text of the article notice that we’re looking for an issue of the journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology from 2014 pen text is the tool of the library uses to get you from the article citation to the actual full text of the article pen text is going to look across all the library’s Holdings to find you the best way to get your article.
Here’s what pen text is found for us. There at the top is willing to our journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology so let’s click and go to the journal. This is the web page for the journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology now. We just need to find the article on the journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology website. Luckily we know it’s issue. We want so we can click the link to browse by issue. And now we can navigate through our issue and find the article. We looked at a subject database. But you can use a similar approach using our tool articles plus articles plus indexes many of the same journals of computer, journal of mechanical science and technology as the subject databases we’ve encountered but not all of them so it’s important to try both approaches all article databases look a little different but generally they work in the same way. Let’s just quickly review where we started to begin our search for articles we were at the library’s home page and we chose databases by subject. Even though finding articles online is mostly really convenient and fast. There can sometimes be problems because all these different databases don’t always play nicely with each other when you hit a snack. Don’t give up and don’t waste a lot of time trying to work your way through it just call on a librarian for help. The ask us link on the library. Home page can get you through to a librarian through online chat by email or by phone and librarians have lots of experience getting past the pitfalls of online searching. Good luck and happy searching you.
