  6. Education Collections in the Library

  7. Collections in the library specific to Education • Curriculum Collection • Textbooks and curriculum materials “up for” or have been adopted for use in the state of Oklahoma. • Adopted textbooks circulate. (you can check them out) • Reavis Collection • Special materials written on education topics for a professional audience. • ENC Collection • Specialized curriculum materials for the fields of Math and Science. • Juvenile Collection • Non-fiction and fiction books for children and young adults.

  8. Searching Techniques

  9. Keyword vs. Subject • Natural language • Flexible terminology • Less accurate • Use with Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT) • Predetermined terminology • Thesaurus • More precise

  10. Use phrasing for single concept, multiple words (educational system) “Early childhood education” Most common use of “ ” & ( ): Basic phrase Proper names Slogans, advertisements Famous quotes Movie titles, song titles, etc. Hyphenated words More about Keyword Searching • Truncation • * or ? • How to use: • Roots • Teach* • Vowels • Wom*n

  11. AND = Narrow NOT = Exclude Operators • OR = Expand • (Used with synonyms)

  12. Combining Operators • Order Matters! • children AND (violence OR bullying) NOT television • looks up articles about bullying or violence pertaining to children, excluding any occurrences with television • children AND television NOT (violence OR bullying) • looks up articles about children and television excluding anything having to do with violence or bullying • Phrasing Matters • (elementary school children) AND bullying • looks up articles about bullying in elementary school children • elementary AND school AND children AND bullying • looks up articles about bullying with the words elementary, school and children, not necessarily focusing on elementary school children. • (elementary school) AND children AND bullying • looks up articles about children in an elementary school that deal with bullying.

  13. Searching for Articles

  14. What Are Differences between Popular and Scholarly Publications?

  15. Magazines vs. Scholarly Journals

  16. Popular vs. Scholarly Publications

  17. How do I discover whether the library owns a periodical I want to use? • Check the Periodicals List • Do we own High School Journal?

  18. Education Journals • Catalyst for Change • National School Development Council (available through Education Research Complete) • Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School • National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (microfiche) • News Bulletin • National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (paper) • English Journal • Research in the Teaching of English • National Council of Teachers of English (microfilm, databases, paper) • Journal of Social Work Education • Council on Social Work Education (databases) • Social Education • National Council for the Social Studies (microfilm, databases, paper) • Music Educators Journal • Journal of Research in Music Education • National Association for Music Education (databases, paper)

  19. Journal of Research in Childhood Education • Association for Childhood Education International (paper) • Journal of Research in Teaching Science • National Association for Research in Science Teaching (microfilm, databases, paper) • Journal of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation • Research Quarterly of the American Association for Health and Physical Education • Research Quarterly of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation • American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (databases, paper)

  20. General Articles ERIC Education Research Complete Academic Search Complete JSTOR Journal Archive Project Muse Journal Archive Specialized Mental Measurements Yearbook KCDL: Kraus Curriculum Development Library SPORTDiscus Certification Exams for Oklahoma Educators (CEOE) Databases available for Education Majors

  21. The Articles section is where journal information is located. You can look up articles by subject, find them in alphabetical order or use the Periodicals List to see if we own a particular journal either online or in the library. For education related searches, Click the “Education” option.

  22. For general education articles you will want to search either ERIC or Education Research Complete. Remember that ERC contains articles only, and ERIC is a depository of various types of information about education. ERIC comes to us from the U.S. Department of Education.

  23. Setting Up Your EBSCO Folder Creating a folder allows you to set up your own personal workspace inside the article database. You will be able to save any articles from any EBSCO database in this workspace.

  24. Searching for Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles Keywords = education and law

  25. EBSCOHost Search Screen: Enter your keyword(s) and operators in the Search box Check the Full Text box if you want material that is available online. Check the Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals box if you want material that is research based. Scholarly sources are concerned with academic study, especially research for individuals such as, students, teachers, professors, or any other professional who need current information to stay informed of changes to their profession or area of expertise. Many scholarly journals are peer reviewed or refereed; that is, these articles have been subjected to a rigorous approval and editing process by other scholars in that discipline. This process doesn’t apply to popular magazines.

  26. Identifying Search Results & Full-Text Articles: This is the total number of results found. An article online in PDF format. This will look exactly that same as the original article or a photocopy of it, with pictures and page numbers. PDFs are larger file sizes than HTML versions. Keep this in mind when emailing articles to yourself. An article online in HTML format. This is just the text with no page numbers, page breaks and generally no graphics.

  27. It’s important to remember when you are in a PDF document to use the print icon that is in Adobe, not on the browser. The document won’t print if you choose the print option from your Internet browser window. Printing PDF Articles: If you need to print the citation information also, use the link positioned above the Adobe toolbar to obtain this information.

  28. It’s important to remember when you are in a HTML document to use the print icon that is in EBSCOHost, not on the browser. By using this print icon, EBSCOHost will remove all frames around the article leaving the text to be printed. If you are familiar with the term, EBSCOHost makes the article “printer-friendly.” Printing HTML Articles:

  29. Citation Information: Title of the Article Author(s) Journal title Month/Year Total number of pages Volume/issue

  30. There are two ways to add keywords to your search from this screen. You can add AND, OR, NOT terms into the search box and press Search to retrieve a new results list. Or… you can AND a subject area by clicking on these identified terms. This will automatically add the clicked term to the search box and a new search results list will be retrieved.

  31. Notice we have narrowed the results from 231 to 124 by adding keywords and operators to the Search box and limiting the results to Full Text. In this search, we don’t see the articles that the library has in the building because we limited to only those online. To update these limits, use the options located to the right of the search results.

  32. This note indicates material that the library owns. You can limit the date range of the articles by moving this slider or inputting the actual dates.
