Search Results

Gauge results

Use to find full text elsewhere in the library

Use helpers to narrow or expand search

Using ERIC

• Eric has good subject indexes• The most useful ways to limit searches are:– Educational level– Publication Type– Peer Reviewed • use this with caution (can be too limiting)

• Take advantage of the thesaurus– Ex. ‘Student affairs’ could be called ‘student

personnel services’

Using Education Research Complete

• Different subject indexing than ERIC• Better for keyword searching– Uses strings & longer phrases than ERIC

• Can’t limit by educational level

Using Google Scholar

• No subject searching but powerful in other ways

• Access from UGA Library Website– Under “Search Tools”– Will ask you for the GALILEO Password

• Limit by date for better results

Citation Managers

What is Citation Management?

• “Citation management is a web-based or computer-based system that allows you to collect, sort, annotate and group references you find. When you wish to include references in your papers, a citation management system will output selected references within the text and create a bibliography at the end using a style you choose (APA, Chicago, JAMA, MLA, Turabian, etc.).”

EndNote vs. RefWorks

• EndNote– A program you must install on your computer– A bit more powerful than RefWorks– Useful for storing PDFs on your computer

• RefWorks– Web-based—can access from anywhere– A bit more user friendly than EndNote– Write-N-Cite IV coming soon*

RefWorks Set-up

• Go to www.my.uga.edu• Log in using your MyID and click on the UGA

Libraries tab• Find the box titled “Research & Writing” • Use the group code: RWUGeorgiaLib• Set up your individual account– See PDF for more detailed set-up instructions
