 Okay, so let's get started. Do you have the lights down a little or do you? Beats the heck out of me. I don't know. Does it look like I should? Okay, alright. Well anyway, my name is Debbie Orr and I'm the librarian for the nursing programs. I'm actually the librarian for all of the College of Health Sciences and Professions, as well as the librarian for the Heritage College of Pathic Medicine. So I have office hours up here, 20 hours a week, and then I'm down on the west green for 20 hours a week. I have an open door policy, so if you have any questions, my office is up on the third floor, my door is open, I'm in there, you're not interrupting me at all, just come on in. You can reach me by email, by phone, by chat, if that's more convenient for you. My email address is ORRD at Ohio, I know you can't see it because it's red ink, but I couldn't find a black marker for you. So let's get started today and what I'm going to talk to you about is a little bit about the website, some of the stuff that you will probably need, as well as we'll talk a little about searching through SINOL, okay? I know that you're going to get a lot of information through other classes, like through English and other classes of the library. What I'm going to talk to you today about is just information that I think will help you with this nursing class, okay? Are you all freshmen? Are you second years, third years, seniors? I don't know. Familiar with the library at all? Are you comfortable with it? Yes, no? Okay. What I'll do is I'll just kind of ask you yes or no questions, just not, or yes you know, no you don't know, and that kind of gauges what I need to cover. All right? Okay, so here's the front page. All right? You've got your Alice catalog, databases, course reserves, and subject and course guides. We'll go through those a little later, but right now what I want to show you is under your need help section, you can go to need help in citing your sources, okay? This is where you're going to find information on your APA style formats, all right? Everything that you're going to write in health sciences, especially nursing, you will use the APA format, okay? So here you can either click up here or down here you're going to get the same information. And then here's your APA style guides, okay? We have one, excuse me, we have one for APA style guides for electronic references to connect, and then you all have to put in your Ohio ID and password, and now this is going to give you everything for your electronic references. And what's nice about this feature is that the table contents are all linked to the rules. So you could go down here and you could look at your journal article with DOI, okay? Are you familiar with what a DOI is? Are you familiar with anything like that? Okay, a DOI is a digital object identifier, and it is a unique number to that specific journal article, okay? Not everything has a DOI, but it seems like it's becoming more prevalent, okay? So this is what your DOI is going to look like. It's got an HCTP, and it's a DOI.org, and then it's a string of numbers. So if you find that on an article that, you will need to know how to cite that with your DOI. If you don't have a DOI not available, then you use this sentence retrieved from and then the URL for that particular journal article. This comes easier as you work in things. So don't worry about being overwhelmed with rules. Let's see. The other APA style guide that we like is the Purdue University Owl. Owl is short for Online Writing Lab. Clever. This will follow your sixth edition book. I think you have to purchase the book. I'm not sure, but I think that that's one of the books that you have to purchase. This is also the sixth edition, and it is all online. So over here is your rules, your in-text citations, footnotes and notes. Everything is right here. It's clickable. What's nice also about this is that it tells you how to do your title page with your running head. Your title page, and here's an example of it, and it should say running head and then your title at the top. And then after that, from your abstract paper on, your running head always stays at the top. If you want to see a sample paper, you've got a sample APA paper attached, so you could look at that if you want to see how everything is supposed to look when you get there all laid out. Questions about finding your APA information? Back. The main page. All right. Your subject and course guides. These are basically one-stop shopping for subjects. I've made subject guides for nursing, for the RN to BSN online program, and I also have one for evidence-based medicine. You could either type in nursing for your subject, or you could browse by subject, nursing. And then here's basically everything you need to know. You can start from here if you want to start searching. You could go to databases if you wanted to start searching in other databases. Or on our home page, I have finding nursing articles in Sinal. You could start your Sinal search right here and click, and it would take you to the Sinal page. Alice Catalog, if you wanted to find a book, you could start searching in the Alice Catalog from this page as well. Ohio Link. We'll talk a little bit about Ohio Link a little later on. Are you familiar with Ohio Link at all? Heard about it? Know what it is? Okay. Like I said, we'll get to that in a bit. But you could also search Ohio Link here. If you went to your library's page and your subject and course guides, you could type in nursing and hit search. Now, this would be your nursing, but there's a little bit of a hiccup right now with the new software, and it doesn't take you to the home page. They're aware of it and they're working on the problem, so you would just have to click on your home to get back where you are. Questions about the subject guide? Excuse me. Okay. Let's go to the databases. Right? You can find your database by title or you can browse by subject. Down here is our nursing databases, and you can see that we have 10 databases that have information in it that nursing might possibly want to use. Access Medicine is really not a database. It's electronic medical books, medical textbooks. Might be a little bit too upper level for you at this point, but feel free to look through it and see if there's something that you might want information on. Synol Plus with full text is where we're going to use today. Clinical Key is a medical database, and it has a lot of information. It also has some electronic textbooks in it as well, so you might want to look at that sometime. Cochrane Library, you won't need for this class. This is evidence-based medicine, but you will in maybe your second or third years. Food Science Source is a good database if you're taking nutrition classes. That's a good source for nutrition. PubMed is the largest medical database in the world. It's put together by the National Library of Medicine. It also is the same as Medline. If you've ever heard the term Medline, you can get both the information out of PubMed and Medline. Tripp Database is evidence-based medicine, too. It's a little bit different because it comes out of the United Kingdom, so it has more European studies in it. I'm just going to click here on Synol Plus with full text. This is the search page for a lot of different databases that we have. This might become familiar to you throughout your college career. Once you get the hang of searching in one, you'll be able to search in other ones just the same. I'm going to use the words nursing and theorists. I put in NURS with an asterisk. That is called a truncation. The asterisk is called a truncation. What that's going to do is it's going to find all the words with NURS as the root. That's going to search nurses, nursing, nurse, those kind of terms. If you only wanted to do nurse, you could just put in nurse and theorists and that would be fine. But if there's something that you want to see and you think that maybe it might be a plural instead of a singular, you could use a truncation and it will search all those words for you. I'm using the word, the Boolean term and. Are you familiar with Boolean searching and how that works? Yes, no, no, okay. Boolean searching uses and or and not. If you're using nursing, I'm just going to say nurse and theorists, then in your results you're going to get everything with nurse and theorists together, okay? If you change this to nurse or theorists, not only are you going to get your nurse and theorists information together, it's supposed to be two circles. You're also going to get nurse and theorists, so you're going to have a huge amount in your results, okay? So you might not want to use that. But you can play around and try to figure out and kind of get the idea of the concept. Okay, so we're going to do nurse and theorists, but since we have this truncation, we're going to kick out a word because the root of nurse is also nursery. For what we want, we might not want to get the word nursery. So we could kick that out and then that won't give you any articles that have nursery in it. Kind of get that idea. Okay, so then we've got nurse, theorists, not nursery. And let's hit search, see what we're going to come up with. Okay, our search results. We have 489 articles with those terms. You can see the phrase that we used over here, nurse and theorists, not nursery. Now, 489 might be a little too much for a paper or whatever you need to write about. So we can start limiting. Over on the left-hand side, we've got limits. Full text, evidence-based practice, and scholarly, peer-reviewed academic research journals. I would say at this point, don't limit it to full text because it's going to bring up your full text with just your PDFs that are attached. It won't bring up other options that we might have that is not listed in CINAHL. Evidence-based practice, you could use that, I suppose, but mostly I think that they're going to want you to write from a peer-reviewed journal. So kick everything else out and then you don't have to worry about is it peer-reviewed or not. Okay, what did that give us? 417. We can change the publication date. The oldest one is 1986. Usually they want you maybe to go back five years or not. It depends on how much historical data is being asked of you. Okay, so all you need to do is just pull this bar up to wherever and it'll update it again. Okay, now we've dropped down from 417 to 83. Now that's more of a doable list of results that you could peruse. If you were doing some kind of a study and you just wanted to see the age, you could pick an age range. Okay, by looking in here, if you look at the numbers in the parenthesis, that indicates that there are that many articles in those age ranges with our results. Okay, if you were doing a study that you only wanted to know males or females, you could pick that. So you can hone in on the search or on your results on what you're looking at for your papers. Okay, you can click on the title and this will give you your abstract. This will also give you your DOI information. If there's a DOI, okay. You can also get that information by going, how did you get to that? Amy, yesterday? To the refined results. To the refined results, no. Detailed record. Or detailed record, yeah. Yeah, detailed record. And that'll take you to the same place. And that's, again, where you can find the DOI. She helped me with something yesterday that I was unaware of. So everybody learns from everybody in these classes. Okay, this one has a PDF, full text. So all you need to do is open the link and it should come up, comes up in a PDF. And then from here you could go to the detailed record and then it'll take you back to that page with the abstract and the DOI. Number two is written in Portuguese with the bracket around the language. That means that you probably can't read it unless you can read Portuguese. And I don't mean to step on your toes. If you do, I can't. Most of the time when there's a foreign language article, the abstract will be written in English. This one, find it with link source. There's not a PDF attached. But what you need to do is just click on this so it can see if we have that available for you. This one says it's full text in the Ohio Link Electronic Journal Center. Okay, Ohio Link is a consortium of 88 colleges and universities within the state of Ohio. We share resources. We don't have, nobody has the space nor do we have the budgets to buy everything. So it's basically just like a regular library. You can borrow the books. They will send them down here, ship them down here and you pick them up on the fourth floor in circulation. The other nice thing that we have is the Electronic Journal Center or the EJC as some people say. This has over 9,000 journal titles within it and they're all electronic. So whenever it says view this article at Ohio Link Electronic Journal Center, click on it. Okay, and then you need to click on the title and then there's the PDF. Up here at the top, I don't know if you can see that. Up here at the top is the DOI. It highlights the whole thing and I don't know why. Usually the DOI number is going to be on the front page of the article. Very rarely have I seen it anyplace else. Questions so far? There might be a sometime that you might win an article and we don't have it. This one we have it in three spots but let's say this one doesn't have anything in full text up here at the top. But that's an article that you really would like to have. You can request it through what we call Interlibrary Loan or Document Delivery. You probably won't need it for this class but I'm going to tell you anyway just in case you need it. And all this is, it's a free service to you because we know that even though we have a lot of resources we don't have everything for you. So all you need to do is log in with your Ohio ID and password. If you've not used it before, don't ask you for some demographic information like your email address and that kind of stuff. And this is, it's pretty basic. This is what it looks like. It's nothing more exciting than this. If you want a new article you just hit New Request and Article. And here you just fill in the blanks. The red asterisk is the information that is definitely needed. But the more information you have the faster they can get that article for you. It usually takes about two to five days but don't wait until the last minute because they sometimes take longer than that. You submit your request and then in two to five days you'll get an email that says your Interlibrary Loan article is available. You come back here and here it is under your electronically received articles. Okay. It comes as a PDF. What I want to say about this is that this is not permanent storage. So when you get your article, do something with it. Save it, print it, whatever. But get it out of here because after 60 days it's going to automatically delete from your account. It does say that you can request a book but they will kick that out because we belong to Ohio Link. They'll just send it back and say, no, we're not going to do it for you. Okay. Any questions? Any questions with anything that I showed you and sent off? Couple other things. Under your My Accounts is where you can find your library account and Interlibrary Loan. You can also get the blackboard from here. Let's look up a book. Have you tried, have you ever requested a book from Ohio Link? Anybody? Okay. Okay. So we're going to look up a book, Nursing Theory. Let's do, let's just do Nursing Theory at the top. Okay. Okay. Number two. It's not available to us because it's, one is off campus and let's just say that the one on the seventh floor is gone as well. Alright. So, but that's the book that we need to have. So you could click on the title, go to search Ohio Link. Now, this tells you what library in the state of Ohio has a copy of that book. Below that shows you the status that there's some available, some are out. Alright. Right State does not, Right State and NeoMed does not circulate. When it says local use only, they do not circulate their copies. But there are other ones that are available. So you could request that and all you need to do is hit this request button. Your school or institution is in a dropdown, Ohio University, and you submit the above information. At this point, you're going to put in your Ohio ID and your password, which I'm not going to do because I don't want it to go any farther. I don't want this book. Your pickup institution is Ohio University and your location is Athens Alden. Okay. And that's the fourth floor. Now, you could, if you were someplace else, if you were away on break or something and you wanted that book, you could pick it up at any one of these 88 colleges and universities. All you need is your Ohio ID to pick it up. Let's say you're Columbus State. You could pick it up at Columbus State in downtown Columbus. You could choose the Columbus Library or the Delaware Learning Center. And it would not have to go back to Columbus State. If you were going to be on campus here, you could just drop it off here and we could send it back to the school that it came from. You can borrow these books for three weeks with renewals up to four times, which gives you 12 weeks almost the whole semester. So there's sometimes that you can find your textbooks through OhioLink to borrow. It's first come, first serve and sometimes people jump on that quickly. But that's just an option if you don't want to buy your books or whatnot. Check and see if they're on OhioLink. Okay. And then all you do is hit submit. And then after that happens, you'll get an email from circulation to tell you that it is available to pick up. You can renew your account or your books from your library account. You can also look at this and see where it is in transit. If it's ready to be picked up, it'll be in the status or it'll say it's in transit. You can renew here. All you have to do is click on the renew boxes and you don't even have to bring the book in. You can do that all renewed. Okay. What other questions do you have? Anything? Well, that's what I had to show you today. If you have any questions, like I said, I'm on the third floor. I'm in the Fine Arts Library. I know that makes a lot of sense for the Health Science Library to be in the Fine Arts Library. But just look me up and I'll be more than happy to help. Okay. All right. Well, thanks.
