Research Strategy
BACKGROUND
- Use the Encyclopdia
of Bioethics to locate a relevant article on
your topic.
- Keep in mind that the terms used might not match exactly those
listed in your assigned topic. Use the index, table of contents,
or search for words withinthe resource
- Read the article to get background information about your topic
and the bibliography at the end of the article to located additional
material
FIND RESEARCH ARTICLES
- Search within the Hastings Center Report
- select SIMON and then
use the journal title search
- enter Hastings center report
- select one of the entries in electronic format (Hint: Academic
Search Elite, Health Source Nursing/Academic are good choices.
- use the link to search within the journal and add search terms
to the 2nd box (IMPORTANT) - run the search
- if you get poor results - try different keywords or fewer keywords
- Look for additonal articles by subject
- use BIOETHICS
subset of PubMed
- enter some keywords - use the connector AND between them.
- scan the list of results for relevant articles and then use
the RELATED ARTICLES link to find additional similar articles
- search in SIMON -
Journal Title Index to see which journals we have access to
- use InterLibrary Loan to borrow those articles from another
library if we don't own them (usually within a week)
FIND BOOKS
- Search SIMON to
locate books within the Noreen Reale Falcone Library
- remember that
this finds entire books so if your topic is very specific -
it might be a chapter within a book so you might need to use
broader terms when searching
- Use WorldCat to locate books in other libraries - if needed. Use
InterLibrary Loan to borrow those books from another library (usually
within 7 to 10 days)
CITE RESULTS ACCURATELY
- citing your readings correctly is very important
- inaccurate citations can result in your instructor not being able
to locate a copy of materials you used, InterLibrary Loans being
delayed or cancelled, or your not being able to find materials which
you previously used.
