Learning Objectives
- Researchers will know where to find information
- Researchers will understand the benefits and limitations of searching the open web
- Researchers will understand the difference between materials accessed via the library catalog and via subscription databases
- Researchers will understand that different types of resources require different search strategies
Introduction
- Refers to all of the modules in the unit.
- Use with classes if you are planning to use all of the modules.
- 0m 35s
Places You Can Go
- Points to various information sources.
- Not organized in the way we usually refer to information sources in our instruction.
- 1m 41 s
The Open Web
- Very lengthy coverage of the nature of the Web-at-large and why one should use library resources for scholarly research.
- The content may be better served for most classes if extracted in part from the transcript and edited
- 2m 59w
The Physical Library
- Refers to the Catalog
- We are getting away from references to a Catalog but other useful content could be extracted from the transcript.
- 2m 23s
The Digital Library
- Refers to databases as if they need to be accessed outside of the library.
- A little confusing. Could use transcript maybe if edited.
- 2m 50s
Beyond the Internet and Library
- Refers to accessing a variety of sources of information, such as interviewing experts.
- Could be useful with classes where interviews or other correspondence are allowed for assignments.
- 2m 01s
Searching the Open Web
- Refers to being specific when searching, using quotes, Boolean operators, etc.
- Could be used in most classes, but especially subject-specific classes, where in-depth searching techniques might be appreciated.
- 2m 02s
Searching Your Library Resources
- Mentions catalog, which we are getting away from.
- Contains some useful text on searching tips in databases, etc. that could be extracted from the transcript for use in more specialized classes.
- 2m 28s
Checklist
- Mentions the Catalog.
- Would probably not be useful given the Catalog reference.
