39. The Research Process Getting the Information You Need Information Technology Institute

40. A Research Strategy… • Is the process of finding information in a logical, step-by-step manner. • Ensures that you will find the information you need quickly and efficiently. • Makes more sense than aimlessly browsing the Internet for information.

41. Steps in the Research Process • Know more about the topic • Go little deeper…with more credible resources • Find a comprehensive overview of your topic • Identify current research and specific issues on the topic (with articles) • Find primary resources for a firsthand look at the topic • Manage the information you find • Ask for help if you need it

42. Answer these questions: • What do you need the information for? • What kinds of information do you need? • What is the thesis that you are trying to prove/disprove? • How much time do you have?

43. Go ahead and use Google to get a basic understanding of the topic! Get a grasp on the topic

44. But remember this… • A tremendous amount of useful information is not free; it is proprietary. • Not all information is digitized • Evaluate, evaluate, evaluate through the entire research process • Ask yourself “Have I found the most authoritative, accurate, objective, up-to-date, scholarly information available?”

45. Cornell research guides Reference databases Subject encyclopedias Dictionaries Handbooks Guides Get a grasp… more credible resources Tip: Subject encyclopedias are GREAT if you are writing a short paper or do not have a lot of time.

46. Why Subject Encyclopedias? • They provide a concise overview of the topic in a few pages of information. • They are written by premiere academics in the field (read: scholarly research). • They almost always have a bibliography of GREAT resources. Tip: To find subject encyclopedias in the library catalog, do a guided keyword search on your topic and encyclop? dictionar? handbook? guide

47. Books provide depth and breadth on a subject Use library catalog to find books Save time & frustration by learning how materials are shelved Comprehensive overview for this topic

48. Use the library catalog to… • Connect to our digital library – thousands of databases, e-books, e-journals, online exhibits, and other collections. • Locate material in the physical library – 18 libraries, 7.5 million books, maps, microforms, and media.

49. Tips about the catalog: • Your first search should be a very general keyword search • Never use a, an, or the when searching for a title • Always use the long view to review subject headings • If a record says “networked resource”, it is available online • Always pay attention to the call numbers and note whether the material is shelved in the regular, oversized (+), or double oversized section (++)

50. Do not forget these services! • Use Requests in the catalog to hold, recall, request from the annex, and library-to-library book delivery. • Interlibrary Loan can get material that is checked out or Cornell does not own from other libraries. • Borrow Direct is a reciprocal borrowing program among the Ivies. If Cornell’s copy is unavailable, you can borrow it from another Ivy. It’s fast – usually only a few days!
