Electronic Journals Use the Electronic Journals link on the library tab of the Portal to locate a specific journal title TIPS: Look carefully at the years available e.g. • Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, 1997- present (available up to the latest issue) BUT: • American Journal of Art Therapy, 1998-2015 • (no access after 2015!)

9. What is a Database? • Commerciallyproduced product bought in by the University for your faculty • Indexes the contents of a wide range of specially chosen journals (not just those to which the library subscribes) • Basically online index to journal articles and other online sources of information

10. Databases - some general points to note Search the databases when you are looking for information on a topic Databases all look different however …. Principles of searching the journal databases are the same (broadly speaking!) Standard of results will depend on: Search strategy adopted …….. did you use the ‘right’ words? Appropriateness of the source(s) used ….. did you use the ‘right’ database?

11. Developing your search strategy….(1) • Analyse your search topic and break it down into keywords (subject terms) or phrases • Start your search in broad terms then narrow it down with additional search terms. • Think of as many words/phrases as possible to describe your subject (synonyms) • Use a separate search box for each search term/keyword

12. Search strategy (2) Phrase Searching • Use quotation marks to keep words/phrases together e.g. “art therapy” otherwise you will find references which include the word art and therapy but are not connected • Check your spellingis correct • Be aware of variations in spelling e.g. visualisation OR visualization, colour and color

13. Search strategy (3) Boolean Operators • Use the AND option to combine terms e.g. Art therapy AND children AND trauma • All terms must occur in the search result • The purpose is to narrow your search and produce fewer, more relevant, results

14. AND connector “Art therapy” andchildren andtrauma

15. Searching for Alternative Terms/Keywords Use OR in the search between keywords At least one of the terms must appear in the search records e.g. Trauma OR ordeal OR shock Purpose is to broaden search and find more references

16. OR connector Trauma OR Ordeal OR Shock

17. Excluding Terms/Keywords Use NOT in the search to exclude terms you do not want e.g. Psychotherapist NOT psychiatrist Use this operator with caution as you don’t want to exclude any references which may be relevant

18. Search strategy (4) • Limit results to Academic/Scholarly journals if desired • Limit year span by clicking and dragging year markers if necessary • Limit results to English language only if necessary • Reorganiseresults to show most recent first if desired

19. Wildcards and Truncation searching Wildcard searching - replace a letter with the?Symbol to locate variations in spelling of a word e.g. organi?ationalwill find organiSational and organiZational Truncation - replace the end of a word with the symbol * to locate all the different possible variations in endings e.g. Traum* will retrieve trauma, traumatic, traumatise etc. Psyho* will retrieve psychology, psychologist, psychoanalytic etc.
