2. Please watch the following video tutorials:
library tutorial #1
library tutorial #2
library tutorial #3
library tutorial #4 on the use of the asterisk
Using the strategies discussed in library video tutorial #1, search on some terms and find four articles on this topic. Your search can be quite broad at this stage. Try to use some search phrases that require that you use quotation marks, as the video demonstrates. Please write the topic on which you searched and the search terms you used to search on it. In addition, please write titles of the four articles and the journals in which they appeared. You don’t have to cite anything in APA format, or anything of that nature. Just post the titles and the journal names.
Then, applying the tips in library video tutorial #2, focus your search from question #2 by using the SU-subject terms option from the drop-down menu for one of the rows. -How many search results do you find after limiting the search by using SU-subject terms?
Using the strategies discussed in library video tutorial #2, conduct a new search on a phrase related to your major or to a workplace topic of interest to you. As the video demonstrates, make sure to use quotation marks around the phrase you search on.
-What phrase(s) did you search on?
-How many search results do you get?
Using the strategies discussed in library video tutorial on the use of the asterisk, conduct the same search, but this time use one of your terms and place an asterisk next to a form of the term in order to search on all forms of that term.
-What term did you search on with the asterisk?
-How many search results do you get?
Finally, using the strategies mentioned in library video tutorial #3, locate the subject guide (formerly called the research guide) for your major. If you have not declared a major yet, please select one that interests you. Peruse the research guide for that major. Describe to the rest of the class in a few sentences any interesting resources you discovered.
