Best+Ways+to+Research

Research Sources

Research modules: Prior to completing any of these modules, the student should decide on a research question. As researching takes place, this research question may be revised to accommodate the available information, but the student must have a sense of what he/she would like to learn BEFORE valuable searching commences.

Module 1: Using search engines


 * Effective searches
 * Boolean logic

Goal: Explore effective search techniques Performance Objectives: Students will practice searching using Boolean operators. Performance will be satisfactory if students use at least three different search engines and record their findings for each one.

Assignment: Via an electronic appearance with Paul Barron, the Director of Library and Archives for George C. Marshall Foundation, students will discover how Google works and how to use the advanced search feature. Using several different search engines and the advanced search capability, students will record their different results using an Excel spreadsheet.

 **Who was George Boole?**



 George Boole (1815-1864) was an English mathematician. His **//An Investigation into the Laws of Thought, on Which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities//**(published in 1854) approached logic in a new way by reducing it to a simple algebra, incorporating logic into mathematics. It began the algebra of logic called Boolean algebra which now finds application in computer construction, switching circuits, and online searching.

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 10pt;">Summarizing
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 10pt;">Paraphrasing
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 10pt;">Directly Quoting
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 10pt;">Note cards and source cards (MLA Format)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Goal: Record properly formatted research <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Performance Objectives: Student will gather research on note cards and document resources on source cards. Performance will be satisfactory if the student gathers sufficient research and records it in the appropriate format.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Assignment: Student will view online materials that deal with how to gather and record research. Student will analyze information through the use of “worked examples” and demonstrate understanding of the research concepts as required through “fading” and “self-explanations.” (See Clark and Mayer, chapter 10)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Then, student will gather research. Student will read the research. Student will decide whether to use summarizing, paraphrasing, or directly quoting to record the research on a note card. Student will include a key word, the research, and a parenthetical citation on each note card. Student will complete a source card in proper MLA format for each source used. Student will turn in a minimum of 50 note cards and 5 sources (at least one from each of the following categories: database, print source, magazine [online or print])

Paraphrase Craze - http://www.beaconlearningcenter.com/WebLessons/ParaphraseCraze/default.htm

Using Mimeo to Learn MLA Format <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">This is my lesson on MLA citation using Mimeo (a SmartBoard lookalike). Because you have to have the Mimeo software downloaded in order to be able to see my presentation (and that is not available unless Mimeo has been purchased by the school), I took screen shots of each slide and will explain the purpose of each.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">This first slide is merely the title page that I would have projected on the screen as students entered the room.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">This second slide alerts students to some of the rules of MLA formatting. Students come to the whiteboard and use the specialized pen to move a blue oval. Under the blue oval are things to remember when creating a citation. For instance, one “monster” is the importance of placing punctuation in specific places. Another “monster” is inverting the author’s name, while yet another is the MLA format of a date (day, month-abbreviated, year). The last two “monsters” deal with identifying a source as Web or Print and including only the city of publication, not the state.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Slide three allows students to see, at a glance, the type of information necessary to create an MLA citation for a book. Then, again using the specialized pen, a student can drag each part of the MLA citation into the appropriate order to create the citation. Notice that the punctuation is also provided so that they learn where that is placed as well. My plan is to have index cards with the same information so that students at the tables can also manipulate the information to create the citation while the student is working at the board (because only one student can comfortably work at the board at a time). Then they can all compare and discuss if there are differences in the way the information has been ordered.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Slide four does the same thing for online images. I purposely included this practice because students often think that they do not have to cite images. So, not only will this slide enable them to practice how to cite those images, but it will reinforce the necessity to do so.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The final slide demonstrates a resource that will make MLA citing so much easier. This slide walks them through the process of using this website by providing textual directions that appear beside the graphic screen shot (one of those principles) and then it provides a hyperlink to the EasyBib site so that, as a class, we can see how it works. The specialized pen provided with the Mimeo software works like a mouse click, allowing the user to click on anything she would click on if in front of a computer monitor.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Viola, students are expert MLA citation researchers (I hope).

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Goal: Identify credible resources <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Performance Objectives: Student will assess the credibility of websites. Performance will be satisfactory if student visits at least five websites and successfully determines credibility.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Credible or Not Credible?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">You Decide

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Look at the address first. Without looking at the site itself, try to determine if it is a credible site or not. What information were you looking for in the address to help you make that decision? Next, look at each site. Is it credible or not credible? What factors did you take into consideration to come to your conclusion?

Student will review the web site evaluation handout of things to look for in order to determine credibility (address, credentials, updated date, links, excessive graphics, errors, and perspective). Student will visit the website www.allwhois.com to investigate web domain. Student will visit multiple select websites and determine, using a web credibility checklist (and/or interactive), whether a given site is credible or not.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Web Site Evaluation

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Below are some tips on how to evaluate an internet site for merit and usefulness. Because anyone can post a web site on any topic, regardless of accuracy or quality, it is important to be a critical reader of this material, especially when researching for class assignments.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Address—The first thing to look at is where the site originates. Internet URL’s (addresses) generally have one of the following endings: .edu (educational institutions); .gov or .mil (U.S. governmental use); .com (commercial, for profit site); .net or .org (a professional, trade or business organization.) An organization (.org) may have a specific perspective guiding the information it posts on its site, while a private individual with only partial knowledge of a subject could publish a .com site. Look for the ~ symbol, which generally means the site was created by a private individual and should be carefully scrutinized. Remember that sites lacking credibility may still list valuable links to other sites, so they are sometimes worth a look.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Credentials/e-mail—If an author lists his/her credentials; this is generally a good sign. Likewise, providing an e-mail address is sometimes a positive sign. Keep in mind that anyone can make a website, so choose resources with care. Check the “About Us” or Google the author’s name to verify credentials.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Last Updated—Most web sites indicate when the site was last updated. Most good sites are regularly maintained although this may not be necessary in terms of historical information.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Links—Links which do not work, or URL’s that have been changed, can both be warning signals.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Excessive graphics—Sites that overuse graphics and take too long to load usually have only limited usefulness. Graphics should be simple and enhance a site rather than replace good, scholarly information.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Errors—Sites with grammatical, factual, and typographical errors should be avoided.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">• Perspective/Bias—Some sites are created with a particular perspective in mind. This, alone, does not disqualify them from educational use, but it is important that students be aware that they tend to present a single side of an issue. For instance, there is an excellent site on the Atomic Bomb project with an array of primary source materials; however, these have been selected to carefully lead the reader to conclude that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not justified. You may reach the same conclusion independently, but be sure to do additional research to assess the issue from other viewpoints.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">BOTTOM LINE: Is the web page as good as (or better than) what you could find in journal articles or other published literature that is not on the free, general web? If the answer is no, use the databases. REMEMBER: Databases can usually be trusted because a scholarly or professional organization has evaluated every resource for validity before a user ever sees it. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">P.S. “All information, whether in print or by byte, needs to be evaluated by readers for authority, appropriateness, and other personal criteria for value. If you find information that is "too good to be true", it probably is. Never use information that you cannot verify. Establishing and learning criteria to filter information you find on the Internet is a good beginning for becoming a critical consumer of information in all forms. "Cast a cold eye" (as Yeats wrote) on everything you read. Question it. Look for other sources that can authenticate or corroborate what you find. Learn to be skeptical and then learn to trust your instincts.” <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">© 1996 Elizabeth E.
