AV materials, E-Databases, E-Journals, Selected Internet Resources 1-Search Library Online Catalogue Subject Guides
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
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)
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
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
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.”
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
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
Search for the Journal Title “Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology” instead Click to view the details(location, call number and status) of the journal. Level 2
HKALL • If you cannot find a specific book in the Lingnan University Library Catalogue, you can search for HKALL to see if the item can be borrowed in other 7 UGC-funded University Libraries. • E.g. Twenty-first century novels the first decade
ILLiad (Inter-library Loan) • If you cannot find a book from the local Libraries, you can request for the ILLiad service. • Instructions of ILLiad: http://www.library.ln.edu.hk/services/interlibrary-loan-services • For year 1-2 students: please fill in the form for the ILLiad service (instead of registering online), from the Circulation Counter of the Library.
