5. How to construct a search (1) • Step 1 – Identify key concepts • Author? A particular work? Content of the work? Criticism of a particular work? • Main concepts can be the name of an author or keyword from a particular work • E.g. I would like to write a paper on the criticism on description of childhood in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go • childhood • Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go • criticism

6. How to construct a search (2) • Step 2 – Selection of search words • Use related words/synonyms • E.g. childhood: adolescence / schooldays • Use of Thesaurus • For author search, type surname first (E.g. Austen Jane, but NOT Jane Austen)

7. How to construct a search (3) • Step 3 – Search command • Use “AND/OR” • E.g. Austen AND Pride • E.g. youth or adolescent or teenager • Truncation (retrieves all variant endings of that word) • E.g. critic* (criticize, criticism, critical etc.) • Quotation Marks “ ”: search the words as an exact phrase, this narrows down the search • Parentheses ( ) : gives priority and order in the search statement • E.g. (childhood OR adolescence) and “never let me go” and criticism

8. Library Catalogue • Title search • E.g. Pride and Prejudice • Author search • E.g. Austen, Jane (NOT Jane Austen for author search) • Subject search • E.g. Fiction – History and criticism • E.g. [author name] -- Criticism and interpretation www.library.ln.edu.hk

9. Scenario one : If I already know the Author’s Name of a book… Q: I want to read the book written by J.K. Rowling in 2012. However I forgot the title of the book, what should I do? A: Search the Library Catalogue by Author. Be sure to search by placing the SURNAME in front of the first name. In this example, you should search “Rowling, J.K.”

10. Scenario two: Search for Items on Your Reading List Example : You are asked to read the following journal article by your instructor: Lai, D., & Surood, S. (2008). Predictors of Depression in Aging South Asian Canadians. Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology, 23(1), 57-75 ***Hints: The Library catalogue can only search for titles of books and names of journals, but not the articles within the book or the journal*** Level 2

11. Search Article Title “Predictors of Depression in Aging South Asian Canadians” has NO MATCHES Example: Lai, D., & Surood, S. (2008). Predictors of Depression in Aging South Asian Canadians. Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology, 23(1), 57-75 Level 2

40. Citing Sources (1) In order to avoid the trap of plagiarism, we need to properly provide citations to ALL the resources (e.g. books, journal articles, websites) that we have made reference to in our research paper. Citations are the key information of each piece of resource. It often includes : • Book chapter title / Journal article title / Webpage title • Book title / Journal title • Authors (and editors) • Volume no. , issue no. & page no. of the journal article in the journal • Publisher and publication place of the book • Address of the webpage (if the article is retrieved online directly)

41. Citing Sources (2) • Citation styles are the rules that govern on how we format these citations. • There are many different citation styles set up by different academic bodies or publishers. The most commonly used ones include the APA style, MLA style and the Chicago style.

42. Citation Examples (MLA) • A Book: Hollands, William.  Teaching the Internet to Library Staff and Users: 10 Ready-to-Go Workshops that Work. New York: Neal-Schuman, 1999. • A Journal Article: Tsang, Steve. "China and Political Reform in Hong Kong." The Pacific Review 2.1 (1989): 68-74.
