  revise if necessary,

37
Back to Searching

• Take a break

38
Assuming scholarly lit review

• Determine question
• Break question into conceptual units
• For example adolescent obesity prevention
• Adolescent
• Obesity
• Prevention
• Determine ( keep track of) synonyms for each unit

39
Thinking about the literature

• Be flexible
• Record efforts
• Record terminology
• Keep track of results
• Question How can a bibliographic management
  system help?

40
Flexibility Terminology Synonyms, examples

• Adolescent
• Adolescent, adolescence, junior high school,
  middle school students, high school students,
  teen, teens, teenagers, youth, 13-18 year old
• Obesity
• Overweight, obese, obesity, heavy, chubby
• Prevention
• Prevention, preventive, preventative, educate,
  teaching, programs, etc.

41
Terminology ( exercise)

• Boolean sets, ex. At risk students in this class
• Who is married (M) or has children (C)
  oremployed (E) or minority (m) or male (a)or
  short
• Who is married, w/kids, employed, minority,
  male short

s
C
M
m
E
a
42
Why synonyms

• Different disciplines use different terms
• Interdisciplinary publications
• political correctness over time

43
Find articles about a topic

• Check the references at the back of an article
  (gets older stuff)
• Do a web search (gets free stuff)
• database subject search
• database article cited ref search (articles
  related by references)

44
Where is the literature listed

• Full text, unanalyzed publications
• Flipping through your favorite journal
• Someone gave it to you
• Browsing a journals website
• On the web somewhere
• Analyzed described via an index/abstract
  (database)
• Someone elses list (bibliography)

45
Examples of locations

• Full text, unanalyzed publications
• ScienceDirect other publishers sites, Web,
  print journals
• Analyzed described via an index/abstract
  (database)
• CINAHL, MedLine, PsycInfo, Web of Knowledge
• Someone elses list (bibliography)
• Back of articles
• Within review articles practice standards

46
Index (database) vs. Fulltext

• Fulltext
• Can be most current
• Can be searched intellectually casually
• By keyword phrases
• Print (copy) and go
• Index Databases (may include abstracts)
• Like materials grouped by topic
• Inclusion selected by experts
• Well defined topic terminology (thesauri)

47
Database caveats

• Nothing has everything.
• The more general the coverage, the less specific
  the descriptions.
• The more scholarly the database, the more tricky
  things you can do.
• Vendors are linking to fulltext as fast as the
  contracts can be made.

48
Some Databases

• GENERAL SCIENCEScienceDirect (fulltext)Web of
  Knowledge (links items by common reference)
• HEALTH RELATEDMedline/ PubMed (abstracts, some
  links to fulltext)Health Source Nursing/Academic
  (includes fulltext) CINAHL (abstracts, some
  links to fulltext) Health Reference Center
  (includes fulltext)
• PSYCHOSOCIAL PsycInfo

49
Using CINAHL

• What CINAHL is not
• For the most part, it does not include entire
  articles some links to Full-text materials.
• What to use after CINAHL
• Check UTA Libraries Electronic Magazines and
  Journals page for possible electronic editions.
• Check UTA Librarys catalog to see if any
  particular journal is available.
• If an item is not in the Library, use I.L.L.
