. INFORMATION: LITERACY : RESEARCH SKILLS : DATABASES : INTERNET: SEARCH: TOOLS: Using Bibliographic Databases and Internet Search Tools to Conduct Academic Research: Some Thoughts for a Discussion Group Discourse. This post was sent to an academic discussion group regarding the use of the list to request information on research topics in which one poster had some question regarding whether anyone is taught to use search tools to find their own sources. ------------------------------------- It is my experience that little or nothing is taught in many if not most elementary and secondary education skills regarding the use of bibliographic databases for research. In a world within the United States of teaching to the test and No Child Left Behind, little is taught regarding the skills of learning let alone the skills of using electronic databases for research. In the contact that I have had with undergraduate college programs, I have seen little content regarding searching technique in the commercial databases that academic libraries spend a great deal of money to acquire and in using students perform very rudimentary searches, similar to what they would try in Google. A large number of students I encounter have no idea that multi-step searches can be performed in databases from EBSCO and OVID and other such databanks. They have never heard of proximity searching or the use of parenthesis to nest search terms in conjunction with the use of boolean operators, a method that is even available in Google. Most folks in academic pursuits do not read, use or know about the literature found with these links in my personal experience. <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%28% 22bibliographic+databases%22+OR+%22ebsco+databases%22+ OR+%22ovid+databases%22%29+and+%28%22search+commands%22+ OR+%22search+technique%22+OR+%22searching+technique%22+ OR+%22guide+to+searching%22%29&btnG=Google+Search&aq= o&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= CChfISTYfTKn8J5G2zQSNyd3mDQAAAKoEBU_Qk6Mk> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/23mbt98> <http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q= (%22bibliographic%20databases%22%20OR%20%22ebsco% 20databases%22%20OR%20%22ovid%20databases%22)%20and%20 (%22search%20commands%22%20OR%20%22search%20technique% 22%20OR%20%22searching%20technique%22%20OR%20%22guide% 20to%20searching%22)&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ws> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/23yxvql> and most especially, this link: <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=(%22bibliographic% 20databases%22%20OR%20%22ebsco%20databases%22%20OR%20% 22ovid%20databases%22)%20and%20(%22search%20commands% 22%20OR%20%22search%20technique%22%20OR%20%22searching% 20technique%22%20OR%20%22guide%20to%20searching%22)&um= 1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=blg:1,bks:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=bp> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/2af7eco> Content Sample: Online bibliographic databases: a directory and sourcebook James Logan Hall - 1986 - 509 pages A guide to searching ONTAP ABI/INFORM.

One can particulary learn a great deal from what medical librarians teach about searching, as they need information quickly and accurately and do not have time to fiddle around with poorly designed services. When they get phone requests for information from a hospital operating room in which a patient will live or die depending upon what they find in momments, this is not the time for a flood of slightly relevant sources to be waded through in the weeks and months ahead.

This is read from bottom (step s1) to top (step s24). One can see that problems do occur in searches, sometimes a glitch at EBSCO, here with the sets for event attendance that has null results in the limit to subject sets repeated to make sure of the null result. Often such steps result in a phone call to EBSCO to troubleshoot the problem. Anyone ever call Google for such search assistance? In the end one puts together the best combination or combinations that one can to get a group of articles and other sources that best suit the topic for which information is sought.
