17. UD Library Hub University Libraries Your home college library should be your first choice. If it doesn’t have what you need, find a library that is close to you.

18. UD Library Hub Not everything from every database will be picked up in a search from the Library Hub Home page. For some databases, you need to go to the database itself. Here are some examples: The Chicago Manual of Style Online The link to this resource can be found under Manage Citations andin the list of databases. When you don’t know how to write it or cite it, refer to this guide. “Turabian...citations...are the same as the ones presented in The Chicago Manual of Style.”

19. UD Library Hub JSTOR The link to this resource can be found in the list of databases. It is better to go directly to this database to search within.

20. UD Library Hub • Oxford Suite of Databases • Oxford Biblical Studies Online provides access to numerous biblical texts and commentaries, biblical timelines, images and maps, and lesson plans. This is a particularly useful database for biblical studies students and lecturers. • Hint: • Look at the • Side-by-side view with commentary • Timelines • Tools and resources • Reference

21. UD Library Hub • Oxford Suite of Databases • Oxford Bibliographies Online • enables you to search for the resources on a particular topic and then find them either in the University’s libraries, online or elsewhere. This video provides an in-depth look at the database: • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1myXLJZGPwM

22. UD Library Hub Tips for using databases 3. Keep a list of search terms you’ve used and make a note of their usefulness or otherwise. 1. Create a personal account within each database, where available, or use a citation manager such as Endnote to keep track of your research. 2. When downloading articles or book chapters, name them so that their content is obvious and keep them in folders.

24. Searching

25. SearchingHow to conduct a keyword search:

26. Searching For example, let’s say you need to write an assignment on the origins of the eucharist in the church. You could conduct keyword searches on eucharist, eucharist origins, and eucharist early church (of course,this list is not exhaustive, just exemplary) If you have used the Discover articles and more searchoption, you will be given results in the tens of thousands. All these searches will bring slightly different results to the top of the list, but these top results will be the most relevant for those search terms. Refine your results to find the most useful resources. Tip: If you remove the expander “Also search within the full text of the articles”, you will remove articles that only make reference to your keywords in the text.

27. Searching As another example, let’s say you need to write an assignment on monastic life in Egypt. • If you do a search on monasticism egypt, you will be given around 1,825 results. • If you do a search on monastic egypt, you will be given around 3,415 results. • If you do a search on monast* egypt[this is called truncation and means your search will include the words monastic, monasticism, monastery and monasteries], you will be given around 30,774 results. • All these searches will bring slightly different results to the top. • Refine your results to find the most relevant and appropriate resources.

28. Search results Refine results Use the facets on the side to refine your results. Note that there are expanders and limiters. For example, if you want to exclude Reviews, you will need to “include”, i.e. click on, every other option. You will find all the default and selected refinements under Current search at the top of the column

29. Search results Preferences Go here for setting up how you want your page displayed, and how you want citations exported.

30. Searching Using a single name or term for a search may bring up a research starter – an article from a reference work in one of the databases. These can be a useful introduction to a topic

31. Conclusion The SAC and UD Libraries offer multiple resources, both print and online. Finding what you need can be overwhelming, so... If you don’t know what you need, where to look for it or how to use it...ask the librarian!
