Basically this tab just gives an overview of what
was just stressing about the difference between the Popular the Trade and the Scholarly
you are going to be concentrating on mostly the scholarly
stuff. The stuff in red really emphasizes the
difference between Scholarly and the Popular. When you have the
print in front of you, its kind of easy to see whether there are ads
in the colorful covers and whatnot but when
you are online, this becomes more difficult
and so some of the key things to really look for
when you have two articles that are online from our
databases, take a look and see if there is a reference at the end of the
article. If there is a reference at the end or a workcited
then that is a clue that, that is a scholarly article/Peer review article that
you have got. Okay
so now I was looking at in this class, we've got some interesting
topics. Again, the kinds of topic that you're
going to be working on may dictate what kind of database that you may
wanna go in to. For starters, you may just want to go into one of these
interdisciplinary ones because that is broad, has all disciplines
and that will give you a sense what's out there and
then maybe after that point when you start seeing what aspect of your topic
that you want to go into, say if you are interested in the legal
aspect, maybe you want to go into LexisNexis
maybe you have something that has more of a business bend to
it, maybe try the ABI/INFORM or the Business Source Premire
Okay you're not going to be looking at the Newspaper
databases because newspapers are obviously not
scholarly/peer review things. But if you really need to zero in on the
scholarly stuff, try these other ones before
you hop into the newspaper ones. PsychArticle and
PsychInfo are the two psychology databases. The difference
between the two is PsychArticle is a much smaller database
that is all full text journals all text. they're all scholarly
peer review and they're all journals for American psychological
Association so wanna get a real quick view to see what
might be out there and you want all full text that might be
a quick way to go to PsycINFO. On the hand is
the main psychological database psychological
literature that goes all the way back to 1880s, its international so some of the stuff is going to be in
english, some of it could be in Chinese and other languages
and most of the stuff is not going to be full text
so that is the difference between
these two. Since we have the One Search
we can link from one database to other databases
it says 'get it at Rider University' So
with that link, even though its not full text with
this database you know it. You can click on that too. If you have
a folder which links to nothing that means we don't have the full text article
