 All right, welcome everybody. This is how to navigate subject specific databases. My name is Carissa Powell I use she her pronouns. I am a student success librarian and I work a lot with the composition classes like English 101 and 102. And you can reach me at curset at utk.edu. Hello everyone I'm Brianne dash. I am a subject life brain here, which means I specialize in helping students and faculty find specific resources and specific areas. My big three are psychology neuroscience and then also social social sciences data in general, and you can reach me at be dash at utk.edu. So today, we're going to cover three main things, how to use one search for your specific topic, and then finding and using subject specific databases for your specific topic, and then also how to contact your subject librarian, someone like me. So to get started, I want to know where you guys go when you want to deep dive on a topic. There's a video where you can scan the QR code with your phone or you can go to slido.com and enter in that number, or you can click the link in chat. But what I mean by deep dive is when you need to become an expert in something for a class when you're interested in something, where do you go and you want to deep dive. Google, Google is a great place to start. And you can also get really awesome information. That's a great place. I love an exclamation point. Yes, Google, Google is a great algorithm. Wikipedia, I love to start at Wikipedia, especially when I need to familiarize myself with something. When someone comes to me with a research topic, they need help on, I will often orient myself using Wikipedia and making sure I check other sources. I feel like sometimes Wikipedia can be demonized a little bit and we are big fans of Wikipedia and just getting a good background starting place on a topic as well. If anybody has anything else, you can also chat it in if you want to. I just try to look up everything I can. I really like that. I think when you want to deep dive, when you want to be the well-informed person, you want to have the right sources for your paper, for your presentation, you want to be well-informed. So you look up everything you can, whether it's on Google, whether it's in a library database or other things. So I really appreciate that. Thank you guys so much. Google, again, it's a really great place. Alright, so I just like to remind everybody what the definition of deep dive is, an in-depth examination or analysis on a topic. So, Chris, can you click the next one? Sorry. So we're going to show you how to deep dive on specific topics and what you would do in Google or when you're trying to gather all the information you can in one search and also how to do that in library databases, which I like to deep dive in these places because a lot of times that's where you can find really reliable and scholarly information, but not only makes you an expert to your friends and in situations, but are what you should be using for your classes. Alright, take it away, Chris. So I'm going to kick us off by talking about one search a little bit. If you could put in chat whether or not you've used one search before or whether or not you've heard of it before, that would be very lovely. Those not familiar, one search holds a lot of our collections and so this can be content that is sometimes in databases, but not always. So we're going to show both today and then Breanne will go over some really cool databases. Some examples of things you might find in one search include reviews, legal documents, journal articles, newspapers, books, book chapters. So it holds a lot of different types of sources, both primary and secondary. So depending on what you're looking for it could be a good place to start. So we are going to open up a different browser. If you have not been on our homepage before welcome to the library's homepage. One search is situated directly on the homepage which is very exciting. I'm researching college students and stress today. So for the sake of this college students and stress, and Grace is putting the link to this in chat as well so you can save that for later. One thing I really encourage folks to do when you're using one search is to make sure you're signed in. I did that before we did this. But on your screen, it will probably say sign in at the top of the page instead of your name. And that way you can do things like save items as you're looking for them and it just makes it a little easier you can save an entire search. Maybe you're like, I have the most complicated search string I'm going to save the entire thing so I don't have to recreate that again. From here, a couple different things we could do. This was covered in a previous workshop but we can put quotes around college and student to search it as a phrase, instead of as separate words. My screen might have froze just a tiny bit. But basically what putting quotes around it says is that I'll search it as those two words as you see them next to each other instead of anywhere in the search results. So that's one thing that I recommend doing. From there, the left hand side of the screen, you have a couple options for narrowing down. So you can narrow down to the type of availability it is. You can. I recommend doing relevance unless you are looking for the absolute newest thing on a topic, or if you're looking for primary sources, maybe you're looking for the oldest thing. From here, we can also narrow by format so maybe you're in a class and the professor is asking you to specifically look for a book. You can narrow from there as well. You can also narrow by creation date so sometimes when I'm working with students they're looking for something published within the past five and years and so the easiest way to do that to come here and change the dates and refine from there. So a few examples of doing this is maybe we are looking for something in a peer reviewed journal. And this is just my disclaimer that you can find things in a peer reviewed journal that are not peer reviewed articles so still double triple check the content that you're getting. And then from here, I'm going to take a quick look from here I recommend just like reading the titles and just doing a little skimming. We're sort on time, a really easy way is to come and hit these push pins. So you can go look at these later. So for the sake of this. I am really interested by this one so article number three this is constant stress has become the new normal stress and anxiety and it qualities among us college students in the time of COVID-19. So if I wanted to know more about the article, I would like the article title. From here, I can see that I could go find this online in two different spots so I could go click through either of these to get access to the article. And sometimes it will also show the description of article abstract. When you're doing deep diving like Fran and I are talking about today. Something else you can do is use these different subject heading to look into some of those different areas so maybe I'm starting out and I, you know I'm just interested in college and stress and I don't know a whole lot more about that. And maybe I want to add in anxiety to my search terms maybe I want to add in depression so this could also provide some inspiration for other search terms. So once I have access to this article. It will take you out of one search. And from here. You will be able to look and find your article. This one also links the PDF which is very nice but that is not the case on every single result from here to get back to this article. I recommend either sending this to yourself in an email. You can do that by using the permanent link, or again if you're signed into one search, you can hit the little push pin. So, that is a brief overview of how to use one search. Brian, is there anything you would want to add to that before I hand it back over to you. Yeah, that was awesome. How to use one search. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen over yours. All right, can you see my screen. Perfect. There we go. Sorry. Okay, so now that we know how to deep dive or how to use one search to start becoming an expert on a topic. I'm going to talk about databases versus one search. So first I'm going to go over what is a database. Kind of librarian as definition is a collection or an index in librarian terms of resources with full text citations or abstracts and so by resources that can be peer reviewed journal articles that can be book chapters that can be books. Sometimes people are going to databases for journal articles, but it's not just journal articles so that's why I say resources. And sometimes databases can be subject specific where it's just a psychology database or just a bio biology database, but sometimes they include many subjects. I'm going to take you through the academic search complete that is that was one that includes many subjects than their psych info, which is primarily focused on psychological research. And then the last one, for the example is a web of science. I'm going to take you through the psychology librarian I'm going to take you through psych info, and then also show you what it'd be like to search in Web of Science. Here I am on the library homepage. I'm going to go over how to find our databases from where we're at right now. So here's our main access for one search where you can come here and search directly like college students and stress like we did before. But then we also have this research research tools area with its own white white box, how I know that I'm in the right places it says browse databases and guides so if I'm looking for databases I think this is a great place to start. You can use this drop down menu to click on different subjects and see what's available to you. But I prefer to come here and click this word databases right here and see all of them at once so I'm going to go ahead and do that. And here we are databases by subject. And what I like about this is a lot of times in college, or even in your own interests. We aren't just on one thing, and this is a great landing plate page to see what is available to you, or what is recommended when you want to use a database over one search. Or use a database to become a subject expert. So for an example, let's say, I am in a biology class. I can come here and click on biological sciences. I can see what the best bets are. I can also see this great thing where this is the subject librarian for biology so if I have a question I can get in contact with her, but I can also come here and explore what databases are available to me. I'm going to go ahead and go back, and I'm going to show you psychology because that's where we're going. Here I am as the psychology librarian I decided to recommend psych info as the best bet when you're wanting to find specific psychological research, but then we also have other databases that are related to it. So I recommend when you are looking for something and you want to try out doing some of your searches in databases to come here to this page because it's a great place to find information about your subject librarian and also to find what databases the library subscribes to. I'm going to back up really quick and tell you guys how I like to think about when I'm going to go to one search versus the database. And so I'm going to come here to this illustration that I use a lot of what one searches versus a database. And so what I like to think about in a search like Carissa outlined is everything, almost everything that we possibly can it's our print books are e books, our maps, our journals, our digital collections, and you know it captures a lot of our journal articles and databases. It doesn't capture all of them. And the way I like to think about it is one search is a really great place to be when your topic is interdisciplinary where it's on more than one subject. When you're getting oriented in a topic after you've taken your search terms to Google to learn more about it. And it's going to capture almost everything that's available to you, but I like to think of databases as more of the precision tool. And I'll show you how that looks different when I show you the search Carissa dead in something like psych info. So I think it can get confusing what one searches versus databases. You're never in the wrong place when you're on the library website, looking for scholarly sources to support you in school and in life, but I just like to explain that. So let's go back to the homepage, and let's find psych info. So I'm going to go to databases. And I can scroll all the way down to psychology and find psych info that way. But what I like is psych info is one of our top use databases so it's here in our most popular databases box. So I'm going to go ahead and click on it. All right, so here we are and you know what I love about databases is if you've used one search, you're going to be able to use a database. It's really similarly with how you're able to do searches. I always like to start from advanced search because it just helps my brain think about how I'm piecing together my keywords. So I'm going to do the same search that Chris did, I'm going to do college students and stress. In her first search, she got over a million results in one search. So let's see how many results we get in our precision tool in psych info. Oh no. So if this happens, always just go back to the library website. I've had my tabs open all day doing searches doing librarian stuff. So when in doubt, go back to the library homepage. Let's try that one more time. All right, here we are. Let's go to advanced search and see if it works for us. Well, here we are. This looks a lot like the advanced search in one search. And I'm going to type in college students and stress. And let's click search. All right. So instead of over a million results, I only have 13,000 and some change that is still a lot of results, which lets me know maybe I need to think about my topic more refine it. I think of other things to try to add to my search. But this is just an example of the difference of doing a search in a database versus one search. So similarly to one search, if my mouse will start working. All right, here we go. You can limit it to just things that are peer reviewed. So if you just took us down by a few thousand, you can limit it by a date range. And you can also play around with the subjects and the different methodologies and populations. And every database is going to have different filters on the side but they're a great way to start exploring your topic and seeing what's available. And I recommend of using Google and a database together is stress seems really broad, right. Similar to Chris's searches I saw that anxiety is related, right. Other things are related. And on stress, I was doing some Googling earlier, and I found that there are different types of stress. It comes out with it being something that can be manifested physically, and you can, or things in anxiety or depression or general mental health. But this is a great way that you can use Google and a database to get to know a subject better. So I found it in Googling earlier was sometimes social stress, when it comes to our relationships or other things can manifest differently than just stress or anxiety or other things that are related to this topic. So I'm going to go ahead and press search, adding social stress, and that brought me down to about 4000 results right that's letting me know I'm getting, I'm getting more specific in what I'm looking for, and what's going on. And I'm not having to go through as many as as many resources that we might have found in one search. You can see that it isn't having social and stress stay together. So I'm going to do similarly to what Chris did where I want to search the phrase social stress. I'm going to put quotations around it so I can search that that phrase, which means, if those words appear together, those are the results that's going to return. All right, so that gave me about 200 results right which is really manageable, something that you can go through and see what you're interested in what works for your topic. So now every database is going to be a little different for how you access things. But let's click on the first one I'll show you. So this is not the full text right here. Right, it gives me the abstract. It gives me lots of interesting things to look at with what it was published the year, all of this kind of entry information about it. And so it's important that when you're in a database to look for the words get full text. So I'm going to click on that. It'll take me to a new tab. And well, here is the full text that I can use. I can now always get full text button. And so here we have one that doesn't have the get full text but it does have the power T for fine text so if there's not a get full text button search for the power T. So I'm going to go ahead and click find text. I can go through all the different discovery layers like we find in one search. And here we are I can download the PDF, or I can go to the article link. If you run into any problems, while you are searching in a database, don't give up. It doesn't mean you don't have access to it it doesn't mean you did anything wrong or the database was too advanced or anything. You should chat the library. What I love is that in a lot of our databases chat will follow you. And so I could chat from right here, and it will let my, the librarian who picks up chat on the other end know where I chatted from that I'm chatting from psych info, and they can help you in real time if you run into any access issues. So let's say I'm done with my search on college students and stress, and I'm interested in animals and stress let's say I'm just interested in the concept of stress in general. And so I, I want to go back and modify my search, and I want to see psych info it's a psychology database. I wonder if it has anything about animals and stress. I'm going to go back to advanced search. I'm going to clear my form. And I'm going to just type in elephants and stress. Let's say I read something about elephant being stressed in a zoo and I want to know because I'm here doing these stress searches, and I'm going to click search. It gave me less than 100 results, which lets me know maybe I'm not in the right place. And also, it doesn't look like this is referring to elephants as animals, right it's elephant in the room. Right, like, I think I'm figuring out that psych info is about psychology, which is about humans. So I need to find maybe an interdisciplinary multi subject database. So let's go back to the library homepage, and let's find web of science. So here I am library homepage. I'm going to click here for databases. And this is something that you will learn navigating databases, I can come here to biology. I can see what's recommended there, but web of science is a known multidisciplinary database so it's not as focused as psych info. But you can find stuff maybe about stress and about animals. So let's see how that goes. I'm going to click on a web of science it's been kind of slow today. So, let's see this is the fun part about accessing all of the resources we have. Look, you can tell I was searching this earlier, I want to search stress and elephants and I'm going to see if I am in the right type of database for this search. All right, I got over 500 results. And look, it is talking about elephants as an animals. Right, and so this is a great example of psych info is a great database, but it's not the database for everything. So you won't always know offhand what is a multidisciplinary database or where the right place to be for your searches so don't be afraid to play around, or what we're going to get to next is getting in contact with your subject librarian. So as you'll see, Web of Science, it looks a little different than psych info. It looks different than one search. But again it has the search field, and it has your results and your filters on the side. Right, if you've used Google, if you've used one search, you can use any type of database, similar to psych info. Next is not going to be right here in this record page. You're going to have to click on the find text buttons or the find full text buttons to get you where you want to be. So again, sometimes it can be more clicks in a database, but it's a really helpful way to become an expert into deep dive on a topic. Now let's say you are, you have a new topic and you're not sure where to go, or you know you need help in biology and doing biology searches. So I'm going to show you how to find who your subject librarian is or who the librarian is for that subject or what you're interested in. So there's the way to do it where you can see who the librarian is while you're looking for databases like I showed earlier, where we go databases. I'm interested in biology. Wow, not only do I know that these are the databases she recommends. This is how I get in contact with the biology librarian. And it's similar for every subject that you click on here. But another way to get to just the list of subject librarians to see how to get in contact with them is if you scroll down from the main part and come under here to research, you can click on subject librarians. I will show you. Alright, anthropology is Greg March, right, and it will take me to his page and let me know how to get in contact with him, and it will also take you to his different library guides on that topic. If this is hard to navigate, or you're not able to find the specific subject that you're interested in chat the library and they'll recommend a librarian for you. I love it when you guys reach out. And you're able to get help my favorite thing is to work with students and to show them how to get become subject experts and to become a subject specific on any interest that they have. So, that is what I have for you guys today. Let's do another Slido. What questions do you have. We covered a lot with one search and we covered a lot with the different databases. Do you have any questions off the bat. All right, we will definitely have time for questions after the recording. I just want to make sure that the people who are still here that you, if you will please tell us how you felt, or any questions that you had or you found confusing about the workshop. To please take this end of workshop survey to let us know how we're doing. And please don't miss next week of how to evaluate sources once you find them from a database or from one search. Thank you so much. Yes, we would love if you took the survey if you're watching this on YouTube the survey will be in the box below. And we're going to go ahead and end the recording and answer any questions.
