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.

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.

Finally, so that what I mean by searching EBSCO, here is an example of a search
in EBSCO employing a multi-step search. 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.

There is a substantial learning curve to using databases effectively, but the
time saved with precise searches can be invaluable for folks who use these
tools effectively. Many academic institutions provide databases such as
Academic Search Premier, Business Source Premier, CAB and Hospitality and
Tourism Complete to everyone at that institution and each of these databases
has valuable tourism and related content.
