 Hey there, Bruins! Here's a quick tip from your friends at the Powell Library in Query Labs. Today's topic, Crafting a Savvy Search Strategy Part 2. In this video, we'll help you find library research guides and subject-specific databases related to your topic. So stay tuned, because by the end of the tutorial, you'll know where to search for the results you want. So, what's a research guide? A research guide is a guide compiled by a librarian for a subject area, or even a specific course. These guides contain relevant readings, databases that are specific to your subject, and more. To find the research guides, go to the library website at library.ucla.edu. From the homepage, locate the research guides tab on the left-hand column. If you already know what guide you are looking for, you can search here, or click on one of the suggested guides. If you are not sure exactly what you are looking for, you can click browse all research guides to see all of the guides the library has to offer. Let's take a look at the Getting Started Guide, which you can use to research any topic. This will also help you become familiar with the typical layout of a guide. All guides have tabs to help you find the information you are looking for. These tabs contain relevant information for the research process. Two commonly used tabs are the Books tab and the Articles tab. The Books tab will help you find catalogs to search in the UCLA library, the UC library system, and libraries all around the world. The Articles tab will help you find an article database that covers your subject, and includes the types of articles you need. This guide has databases covering a range of subject areas. You'll find even more specific databases in the guides directly related to your subject. We recommend writing down your guides and databases so you can find them again later. So, what's next? Here are just a few suggestions. Find one or more subject-specific research guides related to your topic, and choose the databases you would like to use. Start your search. Now that you have key terms and databases specific to your topic, you're ready. Learn how to use citation management software like Enno and Zotero to keep your sources organized and generate your bibliography. Still not finding the results you want?
