6 This session More on Bibliographic Databases Searching techniques for journal articles, conference papers, book chapters etc Keeping up to date
7 Subject searching Better to use specialist indexes covering the world s literature to find articles Access via OxLIP+ ( Use inter-library loan for items not held in Oxford and not online
8 E-Journals I didn't check for the hard copy - so used to getting online access! I had just googled the article rather than using SOLO, so that was the issue & why I d been asked to login, or use Athens
9
10 Newspapers Electronic newspapers Some are freely available. Alphabetic list on OxLIP+ Best source for the Text Only of huge range of newspapers and magazines is Nexis UK. Goes back approximately 10 yrs in most cases and is very current i.e. today s daily news items
11
12
13
14
15 Newspapers Electronic newspapers Factiva - from Dow Jones & Reuters Company Business news & challenges, market trends & info. 14,000 + sources inc. local & global newspapers, newswires, trade journals, newsletters, etc. Archive back to languages from 159 countries Dun & Bradstreet company profiles, Reuters Fundamentals, etc.

19 Legal Resources Jurisdictions, topics, cases etc. Lexis Library WestLaw both UK & US editions But there are a lot more (if necessary ask the Law Library for help)
20
21 Catalogues The main map catalogue is a physical card catalogue in the Map Room, containing records of all of the sheet maps in the collection, together with most of the atlases. The general arrangement is by map scale, but records for maps dated before 1851 and all atlases are arranged chronologically Currently in the process of digitising our physical catalogue and deploying it on SOLO. Our aim is to complete this by the end of A small percentage of the collection is already catalogued on SOLO: approximately 5000 post sheet maps and atlases published after Bodleian Maps
22
23 Databases vs. Search engines Contents are indexed by subject specialists Subject headings Limiting functions e.g. publication types, language Allow you to View Search history Combine searches Mark and sort results Print/save/ /export Save searches Set up alerts Searches done by automated web crawlers No thesaurus / subject headings just free text searching No limiting functions Usually none of these!
24 Databases (Scopus or Web of Science) enable you to: Refine results overview to find the main journals, disciplines and authors that publish in your area of interest. Click on the cited by and reference links to track research trends and make connections. Find out who is citing you or your supervisor, and how many citations an article or an author has received. Use Author Identifier to automatically match an author s published research including the h- index Use Journal Analyzer to provide quick insight into specific journal performance Analyze citations for a particular journal issue, volume or year. Use this information to complete grant or other applications quickly and easily. Use Alerts, RSS and HTML feeds to help you stay up-to-date Data export via bibiliographic managers such as RefWorks, EndNote and BibTeX
25 Bibliographic Databases SCOPUS OVID SP ProQuest Web of Knowledge Vast range
26 Search Strategies Boolean logic Truncation Wild cards Synonyms Which language are you using?
27 Boolean connectors AND combines terms to restrict results OR useful for covering synonyms NOT excludes unwanted areas of research
28 OR, AND, NOT Water resources Middle East Climate change
29 SCOPUS THE bibliographic database for the Earth, Geographical and Enivronmental Sciences Scopus -- Abstract & citation database containing both peer-reviewed research literature and quality web sources. 22,000 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers. Now starting to include more book material 53 million records: 29 million records back to 1995 (of which 78% include references). 21 million records pre-1996 which go back as far as million conference papers from proceedings & journals.

39 Bibliographic Searching Search Tip : 1 Important to remember that although each database covers thousands of journal titles no single database is ever comprehensive. If you are having difficulty finding material on a topic use the keywords you find in any relevant reference to extend your search.

64 Bibliographic Searching Search Tip : 2 Take time to explore the various databases & platforms available. Some will be more useful to you than others. Scopus ProQuest OvidSP Web of Knowledge
65 Bibliographic Searching Search Tip : 3 Boolean Logical Operators AND, OR, NOT Proximity operators Adj (literally adjacent); Near(same sentence); With(same field) Field descriptors: AU(author); TI(title); AB (abstract); SO(source or reference); DE (general descriptor) etc are likely to be specific to each database and won t operate in cross searches Combining searches: #1 and #2
66 Other tricks: Use symbols for wildcards and truncation? or $ for a single character globali?ation / globali$ation (is it an s or a z ) * for truncation or variant spellings govern* for governance, governmentality, etc use quotation marks for searching for phrases e.g. resource management
67
68
69
70
71 Synonyms & Language Topic = Personal energy use reduction Search: A) personal energy use B) personal energy use C) energy use OR energy consumption AND personal OR private OR household Context : carbon footprint OR carbon neutral (including food mile* (i.e. miles or mileage)? )
72
73 Bibliographic Searching Search Tip : 4 Consider subject synonyms & British and US spellings. Apply truncation, usually * to find plurals/alternative word endings and? to replace a single character. Expand search by following hypertext links esp. subject headings Authors names: Check the online help for formats. Use the database index to find different forms of author s name otherwise truncate first initial.
74
75
76 Bibliographic Searching Three ways to keep up to date: Saving and rerunning searches you save a search and run it again in the future. alerts / RSS feeds: Specify a search to be repeated and the results ed to you at chosen intervals or on a continuous basis Select your favourite journal(s) & the database will tell you when the next issue of a journal is available. Citation Alert you will receive an every time a particular article is cited in another WoS or Scopus indexed article.
77 Bibliographic Databases Search :Integrative water resources management (IWRM) (2011 only) Scopus = 94 articles ( = 323) ProQuest = 21 articles (adds another 7 to the total) ( = 88) Ovid = 29 after de-duplication (gives a further 7) ( = 214) Web of Science = 38 articles (only a further 3 unique items) ( = 201) RefWorks de-duplication = 111 unique items!!
