  15. Questions/Answers?

  16. Searching JSTOR

  17. Using JSTOR:Basic Search Basic Search • Multiple search terms on the same line are interpreted as a phrase • Not case-sensitive • Boolean operators available: • and, or, near (10 words), near (25 words) • Segments available to search: full-text, author, abstract, title, caption(Note: Only about 10% of articles in JSTOR have abstracts or captions)

  18. Finding non-English Language Content • Transliteration: Some journal articles in JSTOR contain non-Roman, non-ASCII characters. To be searchable, these words or phrases have been transliterated into Roman characters. • ALA-LC (American Library Association - Library of Congress) Romanization Tables were used for many languages (see http://www.jstor.org/help/ transliteration.html for details)

  19. Using JSTOR:Advanced Search Advanced Search • Useful when working with sophisticated queries, synonyms, transliterated words and for controlled proximity searching • Command-line search entry • Boolean operators available: • and, or, andnot

  20. Using JSTOR:Advanced Search Advanced Search • Enclose terms in quotes “north american free trade agreement” or “NAFTA” • Use + for plurals (English plurals only; no stemming, truncation or wildcards) "genome+" and ("evolution" or "evolutionary") • Ability to search on item by field(s) "genome+"/title and ("evolution" or "evolutionary") and ("sequence"+/abstract)

  21. Using JSTOR:Advanced Search Advanced Search • Proximity operators: with a sentence, within a number of words, or within the same page: • sentence("united nations","resolution+","general assembly+") • words(3,“William”,”DuBois”) or words(3,”W”,DuBois”) • page("imprisonment+","robben island")

  22. Using JSTOR:Search Project • We know our search engine needs updating and more “power” • Working on: • Stemming • Truncation • Wildcard/fuzzy searching • “Google-like” basic search box • Simpler, more intuitive advanced (expert) • Search all disciplines

  23. Using JSTOR:Save Citations Feature • Useful for exporting citations into management software (e.g., EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, RefWorks) • Filter under “TIPS” (can be customized or users can create their own) • Tab Delimited option also available (export into Excel instead of management software) • 200 citations can be saved • Saved citations are deleted when user: • Removes them from the list • Closes browser • Exits JSTOR

  24. Exporting Citations: JSTOR Citation List • Options: • Save All Citations on this page • View Saved Citations • (also indicates how many citations have previously been saved)

  25. Exporting Citations: JSTOR Citation List • Export citations: • As text, email or in a new window • In citation-manager, printer-friendly, or tab-delimited formats

  26. Introduction to Citation Management Software • JSTOR citations can be exported into a variety of different bibliographic management software packages. Following are instructions for exporting citations into EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, RefWorks, and spreadsheet software (such as Microsoft Excel).

  27. Exporting Citations: JSTOR Citation List Citation manager format (text version)

  28. Exporting Citations: Importing List into EndNote

  29. Exporting Citations: Resulting EndNote Library

  30. Exporting Citations: EndNote Library Record

  31. Exporting Citations: Working with EndNote • From EndNote, citations can be exported into a bibliography, in any number of different bibliographic formats • You can also to insert EndNote citations while using a word processing program (Cite While You Write)

  32. Questions/Answers?

  33. Teaching with JSTOR

  34. Integrating JSTOR into the Curriculum • Use links effectively • Incorporate JSTOR into assignments: • Resource for scholarly, peer-reviewed literature • Model book reviews • Topic reviews that span large periods of time • Special research: Word Usage

  35. Case Study: Minnesota Private Colleges’ “Project JSTOR” • 35 colleges & universities from Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota • Three-year grant from the Mellon & Bush Foundations (Sept. 1999-June 2002) • Goals: • Encourage innovative, collaborative partnerships that strengthen teaching methods and research-based student learning with information resources and digital tools • Develop partnership models as examples for others

  36. Case Study: Minnesota Private Colleges’ “Project JSTOR” • Project info & reports available: • http://www.mnprivatecolleges.com/jstor/index.php • Collaboration report, copy in your packets, full of good ideas: • Communicate your instructional, research and curriculum needs to campus grants officers • Establish regular bibliographic instruction sessions and coordinate the kinds of assignments required of students • Conduct mini-workshops on information literacy • Enhance individual course web sites • Build electronic access points to JSTOR and other resources through the library’s main page, course pages, online catalog

  37. “Project JSTOR” Example • “Improving the Lab Report: The Biology Program & Information Literacy” "Finding and using quality scientific articles is critical to the success of their seminar projects. We have been gradually raising our standards for the seminar course over the last few years and it all hinges on using high-quality articles."

  38. “Project JSTOR” Example • Lab Report Project Activities: • Write lab reports with correct citations and essential sections • Make poster presentations, usually with an annotated bibliography including an evaluation of the quality of the article • Introduce databases/indexes to students and emphasize HELP as a survival skill for effective searching…students were expected to record their search strategies

  39. “Project JSTOR” Example • More Lab Report Project Activities: • “Journal club” required students to effectively “read a scientific article” and interpret data for their peers. This activity also enforced their skills to find research data as well as distinguish the three types of scientific articles • One course focused on one health issue - Spanish Flu - from six perspectives. This required students to use unusual resources for science topics (local museum & archives, state health records, old newspapers, personal interviews, international health epidemic plans, web searches, books, videos/films, articles)

  40. Teaching with JSTOR • Discussion: • Do you have any good examples from your institution that you’d like to share? • What challenges do you face in helping faculty integrate resources like JSTOR into their courses?

  42. Day Two

  43. Welcome

  44. Linking/Remote Access

  45. Using JSTOR Links • Links can be created to a particular: • Journal • Table of Contents • Article • Useful in subject guides and web pages • Cut and paste links into web documents or course management software • Note: Users may need to authenticate if off-campus to access links

  46. Links in Web Pages Steps: • Cut link out of JSTOR. • Paste into web editing software or course management software. • If an HTML page, place on a web server.

  47. Linking & JSTOR:Article-level Linking Partners • Article-level linking from other resources to JSTOR: • ABC-CLIO: Historical Abstracts and America: History and Life • Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) • EBSCOhost • Endeavor (LinkFinderPlus) • ExLibris (SFX) • Family Scholar Publishing (Family Index Database) • Gale (MLA International Bibliography) • H.W. Wilson (WilsonWeb) • Ingenta • Innovative Interfaces (III) (WebBridge) • MathSciNet • National Information Services Corportation (NISC) (BiblioLine) • OCLC FirstSearch • Openly Informatics (1-Cate) • ProQuest Information and Learning (PCI) • Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) • Serials Solutions (ArticleLinker)
