 This video will teach you how to search EBSCO's Business Source Complete. Business Source Complete is a database devoted to business and economics topics and contains thousands of scholarly journal articles that you can use in your research papers and projects. Unlike Google, which allows you to search complete sentences, this database requires that you use specific keywords to search the collection. For more information on creating keywords, see the keyword searching link in this video's description. Under the search boxes, you will also see a number of search options and limiters. This will ensure that you will only get the results that are most useful for your research. I like limiting by full text, which means I will only get articles that I can read right away. In business, it's also important that you use only the most current research within your field. I can change my date range by using the publish date limiter to the right. As we scroll down, we'll also see limiters that can help us limit by type of source. You can even limit your search to articles about specific products or companies. If you're not sure how specific you'd like your search to be, don't worry. You can always add limiters once you have done a broad search. I'd like to find articles about how managers deal with crises. So I'll start by putting management crisis in my top search box. I'm deliberately using broad keywords so we can see what type of results we get. Now let's click on full text and limit our search to peer reviewed articles. For more information on the peer review process, check out the library's What is Peer Review video in this video's description. Once I hit search, I'm brought to my results list. This search gave me over 4,000 articles, which is a huge list that I don't want to have to go through myself. You will see each of your current limiters on the left-hand side, and you can always click on the gray X if you'd like to remove one. You will also see more ways to limit your results. For example, you can limit your search to articles published within the last five years, or click on subject the source term or subject if you'd like to limit your results to more specific topics, such as crisis communication. After I've selected some limiters, I can start to review my results. I'm interested in article number two. To find out more information about this article, I can click on the blue title. This page includes more information about the authors, keywords that describe the subject matter of the article, and an abstract or summary of the research. If the abstract seems relevant to my research, I can click on the link to the left-hand side that says full text finder or PDF full text. This will bring me to the entire article. If you don't see either of these links, it means that you might have forgotten to use your full text limiter. But don't worry, you can request the article by emailing the article information to libraryatirse.edu. If you think the article would be useful for your research, you can also email a full copy to yourself by using the email link on the right-hand side. The best part about finding articles from the databases is that they'll also create an entire AP citation for you, which you can also send with the full text of the article. Just make sure that you select APA under citation format. You can click on the site button on the right-hand side of the page to see that APA citation. One word of warning. Even though these citations are usually fantastic, they're automatically generated by the database. So there might be some small errors. See the APA video in this video description for more information on how to use the APA lip guide and to double check your citations. Finally, you can make use of the subject keywords on the article information page to find other articles about your topics. For example, I like the keyword corporate communication. When I click on that link, I'm brought to more articles about that subject. Remember, IRSC librarians are always happy to assist if you have any trouble with any part of this research process.
