WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.720 Sarah Cisse: Hi everyone, welcome to Library 101 2 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:22.380 Sarah Cisse: Advanced Catalog Searching. My name is Sarah, and today we're going to be talking about how to use our Catalog Only feature on the main page to look for ebooks and ejournals. We'll look at how to use multiple keywords to search, 3 00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:42.240 Sarah Cisse: how to search according to format, and then, how to modify your search. And before we get started, let me know if you can see my screen okay. And if you can hear me okay. You can type that into the chat. Just say yes, or let me know if you're having any issues. 4 00:00:49.890 --> 00:01:06.720 Sarah Cisse: Okay, great. I have Yes from a few people. Wonderful. Okay, and let's hold questions until the end, if you can. It's a very short session, as you know. We're only going to be in session until 2:30pm. 5 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.110 Sarah Cisse: So hopefully we can just address questions, towards the end of the session. 6 00:01:14.190 --> 00:01:14.700 Sarah Cisse: Alright. 7 00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:16.860 Sarah Cisse: So, 8 00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:37.140 Sarah Cisse: Here we are at the Library's main page, sherman.library.nova.edu, and if we scroll down a little we'll see this link, Catalog Only (Novacat). And this is what we're going to take a look at today. So I'm clicking on that link, 9 00:01:38.190 --> 00:01:43.380 Sarah Cisse: Catalog Only (Novacat) and it takes us to this page. 10 00:01:44.610 --> 00:01:56.550 Sarah Cisse: And the features of this page are the search box right up here at the top. And below that you'll see Refine your search, by adding in other keywords 11 00:01:56.940 --> 00:02:15.810 Sarah Cisse: and filters, such as formats. And you can also choose where you want to search for an item, or for, search for a topic, that is. Okay, so, let's start out with a sample search. And what I'm going to type in is, 12 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.420 Sarah Cisse: let's see, teacher, 13 00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:22.500 Sarah Cisse: and students, 14 00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:26.310 Sarah Cisse: and instruction, 15 00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:29.400 Sarah Cisse: or pedagogy. 16 00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:34.980 Sarah Cisse: So you'll notice that I have multiple keywords that I've typed in. 17 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:37.470 Sarah Cisse: Now, 18 00:02:40.050 --> 00:02:49.080 Sarah Cisse: I have a few different terms, I have teacher connected to student, and then it's connected to instruction and pedagogy. The reason I'm using, or, 19 00:02:49.620 --> 00:03:01.050 Sarah Cisse: between instruction and pedagogy is because they are related terms. The terms that are really different, like teacher, and student, instruction are separated by, and. 20 00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:17.550 Sarah Cisse: So that's the difference between using, and, and using, or, okay. So, or, is used for, to connect, I should say, synonyms or related terms. 21 00:03:18.510 --> 00:03:45.300 Sarah Cisse: So now that we've entered our multiple keywords, and I should mention that the words, and, and, or, are called Boolean Operators, B O O L E A N operators, and that allows you to enter multiple terms in a search box, and it gives instructions to the catalog or even if you're in a database. 22 00:03:46.470 --> 00:03:56.580 Sarah Cisse: It allows you to tell the database or catalog, how to search with those words, and what type of results to give back in your results list. 23 00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:04.650 Sarah Cisse: Okay, so we're going to move down the page to refine your search, and 24 00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:11.010 Sarah Cisse: you can see that the search shows up here as well, right in that first area. 25 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:21.240 Sarah Cisse: And in the second area it asks us to choose Format. And that just means how you would like to view 26 00:04:22.410 --> 00:04:32.850 Sarah Cisse: the items that are going to show up in your results list. So of course, we want to take a look at ebooks, and we want to take a look at any ejournals related to what we've typed in. 27 00:04:34.590 --> 00:04:49.140 Sarah Cisse: And after that we can select Collection. But that's more for physical items, actually, if we were in the building, you'd be able to choose if you wanted to search only the Children's collection or the Genealogy collection, 28 00:04:49.470 --> 00:04:57.870 Sarah Cisse: or a specific library at NSU. Okay, so we're going to leave that alone. We're not going to choose anything, of course. 29 00:04:58.710 --> 00:05:13.140 Sarah Cisse: But you could choose language. You can choose to find things in a particular language. And when we have Any next Language, that means that it's finding anything on that topic, in any language. 30 00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:20.010 Sarah Cisse: All right, now, you also have the option of searching for things written by a particular publisher, 31 00:05:21.210 --> 00:05:34.170 Sarah Cisse: or within a certain time period. That's where you'll see, before and after. Those boxes there, allow you to type in the years, in case you wanted to specify a certain date range. 32 00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:42.540 Sarah Cisse: Alright, so now we've typed in what we want to search for, the format that we want to view it in, and 33 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.580 Sarah Cisse: we haven't made any other choices, so I'm just going to click Search, 34 00:05:59.430 --> 00:06:05.310 Sarah Cisse: and in just a second you'll see our search results. Here we go. 35 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:20.550 Sarah Cisse: So on this page, again, you'll see what you typed in right up here at the top. You'll notice that it tells you how you limited your search, that we limited to ebook or ejournal. 36 00:06:21.330 --> 00:06:31.140 Sarah Cisse: It tells you that your results are sorted by relevance. And if you wanted to sort by date, or title, you could choose that if you wish. 37 00:06:32.820 --> 00:06:42.720 Sarah Cisse: And it also tells us how many results we found. We have 626 results, and we're viewing the first 50 of those results. 38 00:06:44.820 --> 00:06:53.550 Sarah Cisse: Any questions so far? If you have any questions, any pressing questions that can't wait until the end, just type that into the chat box. 39 00:06:55.410 --> 00:07:05.160 Sarah Cisse: All right, so what we see here is a number of items. You'll see the item number, 1, 2, 3, etc. going on down, 40 00:07:06.570 --> 00:07:22.710 Sarah Cisse: on the left, and for each item, you'll see the cover of the book, and the title of the book, author. If there's a subtitle, that will be right there under the title, the publisher and the year of publication. And you'll also see 41 00:07:23.850 --> 00:07:27.000 Sarah Cisse: which database allows you to access this book. 42 00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:41.730 Sarah Cisse: This one says IGI Global, Click here for access. Now, it also tells you who has access to this book. Right under the database availability, you'll see a little icon, next to the house. 43 00:07:42.930 --> 00:08:03.240 Sarah Cisse: And that indicates that NSU, as well as, Broward patrons can view this book off campus. And to the left of that you'll see a little icon that's a building. It has the word All next to it. That means everyone can view this book within the Sherman Library. 44 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:13.440 Sarah Cisse: So what I'm going to do next is click on our little access link, and I'm going to sign in. If it asks me to sign in. 45 00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:23.640 Sarah Cisse: Just bear with me while that loads. It looks like it's taking me right in, 46 00:08:25.260 --> 00:08:29.610 Sarah Cisse: Which means I must have been logged in from an earlier session. 47 00:08:31.230 --> 00:08:45.330 Sarah Cisse: So, the databases aren't going to, the databases or the Catalog, aren't going to ask you to sign in more than once, in a single browser session. So that's the reason that I was able to get right into this ebook without signing in. 48 00:08:46.950 --> 00:09:04.800 Sarah Cisse: And once I'm signed in, I'll see, again, title, author, publisher, year, ISBN, and all of that information. If this is a book that you were going to use for an assignment, or a paper, you'd be able to get your citation right here where it says Cite Book. 49 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:19.740 Sarah Cisse: And you have the option of MLA, APA or Chicago style. If you're using something like Endnote to collect all of your references, you could export your reference right here at, one of these buttons. 50 00:09:21.390 --> 00:09:27.480 Sarah Cisse: You also have the option of downloading the full book. You'll see a button that says Full-Book Download, 51 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:34.530 Sarah Cisse: and that's pretty convenient. Not every book has the option of downloading it fully. 52 00:09:36.030 --> 00:09:45.420 Sarah Cisse: Just as we see below, some books only allow download, or viewing of a particular chapter or chapters. 53 00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:47.730 Sarah Cisse: So, 54 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:57.000 Sarah Cisse: we have Table of Contents listed here. You can also search within the book, where it says Full Text search terms. 55 00:09:57.690 --> 00:10:18.570 Sarah Cisse: And for each section of the book, from the title page, to the preface, to the different chapters, you have a PDF associated with it. A PDF file, as well as, an HTML file associated with each section of the book. So, if you wanted to search within this book, you could 56 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:33.330 Sarah Cisse: get the chapter, and find the PDF right next to what comes up in your results from searching this book. And download that particular section, with what you're searching for of course. 57 00:10:35.610 --> 00:10:36.030 Sarah Cisse: Okay. 58 00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:53.100 Sarah Cisse: So this is just one ebook that I wanted to just take you into to look at the different sections, and how it's set up, some of the features that the ebook offers. I'm going to go back to our results list. 59 00:11:10.050 --> 00:11:20.460 Sarah Cisse: And just scrolling down the list, you'll see that most of these are ebooks. And I know that because to the right of each title, you'll see an icon, and underneath it, it says ebook. 60 00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:35.580 Sarah Cisse: And of course, for each ebook, you're going to see which database allows you to access it, and then the access link. And again, who can access that book from home, or in the building. 61 00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:48.150 Sarah Cisse: I'm scrolling down the list, just to see if we have any other material types. Any other formats for the search that we've done. 62 00:11:50.430 --> 00:11:51.900 Sarah Cisse: And here we go, 63 00:11:53.250 --> 00:12:06.630 Sarah Cisse: Number 22, number 23 and 24 say eresource. They don't say eBook. So, more than likely, this is some type of online journal. So I'm going to click on, 64 00:12:07.830 --> 00:12:12.240 Sarah Cisse: Reviewing the Evidence On How Teacher Professional Development Affects Student Achievement. 65 00:12:22.290 --> 00:12:23.520 Sarah Cisse: And it tells you 66 00:12:24.750 --> 00:12:41.310 Sarah Cisse: what this resource is covering. And it actually says that it covers October 1 to October 31, 2007, which is really interesting. That's a short period of time 67 00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:58.230 Sarah Cisse: to have coverage, but I'm supposing that this particular resource is one item, in a particular journal. So I'm clicking on Education Source which is a database. It allows you to view this publication. And let's see what we find. 68 00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:22.350 Sarah Cisse: Okay, so on this page, it tells you that we're viewing an issue in 2007, Issue 33. And that's because we've found one item, within a particular journal. 69 00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:34.410 Sarah Cisse: And it actually says that the title of the article is Reviewing the Evidence On How Teacher Professional Development Affects Student Achievement. 70 00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:46.380 Sarah Cisse: And you have a few more details about the publisher below that. And I'm going to do Search within publication, and see if I can actually pull up 71 00:13:47.430 --> 00:13:49.200 Sarah Cisse: this specific item. 72 00:13:54.810 --> 00:13:55.470 Sarah Cisse: Okay. 73 00:13:56.730 --> 00:13:59.280 Sarah Cisse: And let's see if 74 00:14:01.290 --> 00:14:07.650 Sarah Cisse: I copy and paste this into the second row, and select title. 75 00:14:09.390 --> 00:14:10.050 Let's see. 76 00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:20.910 Sarah Cisse: Ti title, and see if it actually gives me the full text that I'm looking for, for this item. 77 00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:27.780 Sarah Cisse: Yeah, here we go. Okay, so this is actually a report. 78 00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:36.750 Sarah Cisse: This is not considered an article. It's a report, and I'm clicking on PDF Full Text, 79 00:14:39.330 --> 00:14:41.160 Sarah Cisse: so that we can see the full item. 80 00:14:45.930 --> 00:14:46.860 Sarah Cisse: And here we have it. 81 00:14:48.090 --> 00:14:49.500 Sarah Cisse: The full report. 82 00:14:50.760 --> 00:15:03.240 Sarah Cisse: And over on the right hand side you'll see a few options. You can download this to Google Drive. You can print it. You can email it to yourself, save it to your computer, of course. 83 00:15:04.650 --> 00:15:06.540 Sarah Cisse: You can also get your citation. 84 00:15:08.310 --> 00:15:10.830 Sarah Cisse: Just as we saw in the ebook that we pulled up. 85 00:15:12.450 --> 00:15:23.580 Sarah Cisse: Most of the databases, for whatever type of item you're viewing, are going to try to give you your citation. So if you're using APA, you can find that here. 86 00:15:24.930 --> 00:15:31.770 Sarah Cisse: They have a bunch of different styles that you can choose from. Okay. And of course, you can export, 87 00:15:33.450 --> 00:15:35.730 Sarah Cisse: the item as well. 88 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:44.220 Sarah Cisse: Alright, so I'm going to close out and go back to our results list. 89 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.110 Sarah Cisse: All the way back 90 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.230 Sarah Cisse: to our original advanced search results. 91 00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:26.850 Sarah Cisse: Alright, so we've looked at an ebook. We've also looked at an eresource which turned out to be a report, and online report. 92 00:16:28.350 --> 00:16:31.620 Sarah Cisse: And I'm going to go back up to the top of the screen. 93 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:41.820 Sarah Cisse: And let's click on Advanced Search, because I want to try to get back to our original search, and see if we can modify our search. 94 00:16:48.750 --> 00:16:49.110 Sarah Cisse: Okay. 95 00:16:50.130 --> 00:16:56.610 Sarah Cisse: So it took us back to the Advanced Search page and you can see that our search is still there. 96 00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:14.190 Sarah Cisse: So what I want to do is add some tools that you can use in a catalog to make your search more efficient. And there's something called truncation, that is really just using an asterisk 97 00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:25.200 Sarah Cisse: at the end of certain words, so that it will find all variations of that word. So by placing the asterisk after the R in teacher, 98 00:17:25.860 --> 00:17:37.920 Sarah Cisse: it will find teacher, teachers, teaching. You will find all variations of the root word teacher. You could also place it after the H and that would be effective as well. 99 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.660 Sarah Cisse: Okay, and for students we can do that also. It will find student and students. 100 00:17:46.950 --> 00:17:49.410 Sarah Cisse: And I'm just going to do that for 101 00:17:51.510 --> 00:17:54.600 Sarah Cisse: a few of our, the rest of the search terms, I should say. 102 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:56.100 Sarah Cisse: Okay. 103 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.860 Sarah Cisse: And 104 00:18:02.970 --> 00:18:11.310 Sarah Cisse: after we've done that, I'll show you how to use quotation marks to find phrases. Right now, we're only using single keywords, and 105 00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:25.200 Sarah Cisse: using quotation marks is also another tool that you can use when you're searching, to make your search more effective. So I'm just going to click Search, and see how that changes our search results. 106 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.520 Sarah Cisse: Okay. 107 00:18:46.170 --> 00:18:59.670 Sarah Cisse: So that gave us a huge number of results. We have almost 3,500 results. We can see that over here on the right, and that's because we used the asterisk. The asterisk finds all 108 00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:11.730 Sarah Cisse: variations of the word in various documents. So whereas there may have been, you know, maybe 100 items with teacher or teaching, whatever it was I had the originally. I think it was teacher, 109 00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:34.680 Sarah Cisse: but now we're finding items that are including teaching, teachings, teacher, teachers, all variations. So that's why we've gotten so much more, and it's doing the same with our other words where we've placed the asterisk as well. So using the asterisk usually will give you more results, 110 00:19:36.030 --> 00:19:48.360 Sarah Cisse: which sometimes can be good. If you're not finding what you want with your original search, you can use an asterisk to find more items, more resources that may have what you're looking for. 111 00:19:49.830 --> 00:19:58.950 Sarah Cisse: And you can see that the first item that we have, I believe this is different, this might be different from the first item we had in our original results list. 112 00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:05.220 Sarah Cisse: And of course these should all be ebooks and ejournals, 113 00:20:06.270 --> 00:20:09.390 Sarah Cisse: that's what we selected when we started out with our search. 114 00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:23.010 Sarah Cisse: Okay, and I'm going to go back to Advanced Search, and I'm going to show you guys how to use quotation marks in your search. 115 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.880 Sarah Cisse: All right, so 116 00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:32.370 Sarah Cisse: suppose we wanted to say high school students, 117 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:51.390 Sarah Cisse: instead of just students. Now you want the catalog to find any resources that have the words high school student, or high school students. That's why I'm keeping the asterisk at the end of student, so it will find 118 00:20:53.340 --> 00:21:01.500 Sarah Cisse: resources, books, ebooks, ejournals with that phrase, as well as, the other phrases that I still have in my search. 119 00:21:03.030 --> 00:21:16.350 Sarah Cisse: So the asterisk is really a good thing to use when you have two or more words in your search strategy. If you have one word, you don't need to use it. As you can see, when we started out, I didn't use any quotes. 120 00:21:16.860 --> 00:21:23.010 Sarah Cisse: And it does have to be double quotes when you're using that, with your two or more words in your search. 121 00:21:24.540 --> 00:21:32.700 Sarah Cisse: So let's just hit Search again, and see how that changes our search, if it changes our search. Let's see. 122 00:21:35.790 --> 00:21:59.520 Sarah Cisse: All right, so we went from almost 3,500 results to nine results simply from adding high school and adding quotation marks. So out of all the 3,500 results we had before, only nine of them have the phrase high school students, or high school students. 123 00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:06.270 Sarah Cisse: And let's just scroll down. Take a look at these results. 124 00:22:12.510 --> 00:22:17.010 Sarah Cisse: And of course, they're all ebooks. Okay. 125 00:22:18.600 --> 00:22:24.150 Sarah Cisse: The only thing that I don't think we did, if I go back to Advanced Search, 126 00:22:27.780 --> 00:22:41.970 Sarah Cisse: let's see if we had any other options. Okay. I only had ebook selected. I didn't have ejournal. So if I wanted, realize that I needed to have ejournal selected again, I could make that option and click Search, once again. 127 00:22:46.410 --> 00:22:58.560 Sarah Cisse: We still have nine items. And so that means that there really are no ejournals related to what we have typed in at the top, because it did not change our search by adding ejournals. 128 00:23:01.470 --> 00:23:25.230 Sarah Cisse: Okay, so we've covered, using multiple keywords to search, choosing different formats. We've talked about how to modify your search, and how to use truncation, again, which is the asterisk. And how to use quotation marks to make your search more focused, much more focused, as you can see. 129 00:23:26.490 --> 00:23:32.100 Sarah Cisse: Okay, so that's everything that I wanted to cover with you guys today. 130 00:23:33.450 --> 00:23:37.620 Sarah Cisse: I will mention, back on the Library's main page, 131 00:23:38.730 --> 00:23:49.050 Sarah Cisse: if you need to get in touch with the librarian, you're working on a paper, an assignment, you'll always find Ask A Librarian on the main page of the Library. 132 00:23:49.650 --> 00:24:00.690 Sarah Cisse: These are the hours that our virtual desk is open right now. You can also call us, email us, chat live with us, and you can schedule an appointment, if you need to. 133 00:24:01.050 --> 00:24:14.550 Sarah Cisse: We have a request form, and basically you give us three dates and times that you're available, and we'll find someone to work with you at your convenience. And of course, we also have Text, okay. 134 00:24:15.930 --> 00:24:26.730 Sarah Cisse: All right. So that covers everything on the agenda. And if you guys have any questions, feel free to type in the chat box. 135 00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:33.870 Sarah Cisse: Okay, so we have a question. 136 00:24:35.250 --> 00:24:41.070 Sarah Cisse: How can I find questionnaires or survey samples for training needs assessment. 137 00:24:43.260 --> 00:24:45.930 Sarah Cisse: Well, we do have a few 138 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:52.620 Sarah Cisse: tests and measurements databases under Databases by Subject. 139 00:24:57.780 --> 00:24:58.470 Sarah Cisse: Excuse me. 140 00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:04.980 Sarah Cisse: You'll see, you can just type in test and you'll see Tests and Measurements. 141 00:25:08.760 --> 00:25:23.730 Sarah Cisse: And I believe the best one that actually has tests within it, actual, you know, PDFs of tests that you can download, is PsycTests. PsycTests is a really great one if you're looking for actual tests. 142 00:25:24.780 --> 00:25:27.420 Sarah Cisse: Tests, questionnaires or surveys. 143 00:25:29.490 --> 00:25:45.510 Sarah Cisse: The other option that you have is going into one of the dissertation databases and seeing if the author of the dissertation has attached any relevant questionnaires or surveys to the appendices of their dissertation. 144 00:25:46.710 --> 00:25:50.490 Sarah Cisse: And sometimes that's a great thing to look at. You may not be able to use it 145 00:25:51.750 --> 00:25:58.620 Sarah Cisse: directly, but you can base your questionnaire or survey on what they have in their appendices. 146 00:26:02.910 --> 00:26:04.260 Sarah Cisse: Great. You're welcome, Carmen. 147 00:26:05.820 --> 00:26:07.500 Sarah Cisse: Any other questions. 148 00:26:15.990 --> 00:26:21.570 Sarah Cisse: Alright, so it looks like we have no other questions. I want to thank you guys for attending the session. 149 00:26:23.010 --> 00:26:41.220 Sarah Cisse: Take a look at our events calendar on the main page for our upcoming events, whether it's Library 101, or any of our many virtual events right now. Okay, thank you, everyone. I'm going to end the session now. Okay. Thank you and have a great day.
