Take away… Research Process Overview General search strategy Brainstorming keywords
The Research Process Interpreting the  Assignment Selecting a Topic Identifying & Listing Vocabulary Reading Background Information Refining a Topic Using Online Databases & Indexes Citing Sources Evaluating Sources Gathering Sources Drafting Paper or Presentation
research skills   ≠  needle in the haystack
Web “Pre-Searching” Why or why not start your search online? Respond here: http://bit.ly/ISTC201web
Web “Pre-Searching” Why not start your search online? The Invisible Web http://goshen.libguides.com/beyond_googling Can you trust this information? TED video: Online filter bubble – Eli Pariser http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles.html
Web “Pre-Searching” Why start your search online? Find background information Help solidify research topic Find new terminology to use as keywords Find links and/or citations to other sources
Identify Subject Gateways, Course Gateways  for your course or topic…
Cook Library’s Course and Subject Gateways
… and other familiar tools to identify	websites with academic content. Source: www.google.com. Source: www.wikipedia.org.
Try new features to help build your keyword list and search strategy. Keep this in mind! Any topic might include various facets that you might want to explore and consider as you clarify your topic at the beginning of the research process.
Search Terms and Keyword Reminders Keywords come from the search question Use Boolean “search connectors” to combine keywords in ways that capture the results you need
Good searching starts with good keywords Boolean “search connectors”ANDORNOTFor example:  internet ANDchildren Combining >1 topic instruct ORteach Combining synonymous terms
Search Tip #1 Use AND when you need to combine more than one topic Innovation AND education education innovation
Search Tip #2 Use OR to combine synonymous terms (to get results regardless of what term an author uses). Go here and post a few more! http://bit.ly/ISTC201teach teach instruct
Search Tip #3 Use truncation! Educat* finds Educate Education Educating Educator Etc…
Search Tip #4 Phrase Searching… Use quotations to keep a keyword phrase intact (words will be searched in the specific order) Examples: “No Child Left Behind” “school reform”
Keywords are critical! Sample topic: What are some ways elementary teachers can assess whether a certain technology solution is effective? First, break the question down into keywords: What are some ways elementary teachers can assess whether a certain technology solution is effective?
More on keywords… Expand your list to include synonyms then add to it once you have done some background reading. ,[object Object],teach*assess*technolog* learn			evaluat*		comput* strateg*		test*			[software name] method		gauge			 instruct*
Putting it all together… ,[object Object],teach* instruct* method* learn* assess* evaluate* test*  technolog* comput* [software name] teach*  OR instruct* OR method* OR learn* AND assess* OR evaluate* OR test*  AND technolog* OR comput* OR kidspiration
Searching for academic content Articulate your topic by choosing important ideas Brainstorm Ideas  Concept Map  Terminology/Keywords Dig for the content EVALUATE!
Fill in your own keywords Come up with the keywords for your own search Fill in the worksheet Go do your own web pre-searching Find one “bad” website and find one “good” website, explain how you found it and why you consider it a good/bad resource.
