PowerSearch with Filtering! (00:05:59)
This video provides an introduction to PowerSearch. To start a search, you can enter keywords. Using double quotes around a phrase can help narrow down the results. You can limit your search to newspaper articles, articles (magazines and journal articles), book chapters, and more. Filters can be applied to further refine the search, including limiting by title, publication, and publication date. The search results display full-text availability, and you can also limit the results by subject to explore different aspects. Clicking on a specific article will take you to the full text, which may require authentication if accessed off-campus.

EBSCOhost with Filtering! (00:05:46)
Power Search is a convenient One-Stop search tool that provides access to articles from various publications. However, due to license restrictions, it does not cover all electronic resources. For more in-depth research, it is recommended to use individual databases. One such database is EBSCOhost, which I will demonstrate in this session. It covers journals, magazines, and newspapers from a variety of subject areas. When viewing an article, you have the option to email or print it, and you can use the cite tool to generate citations in APA 7th Edition or other citation styles. Additionally, by examining the subjects listed in the search results, you can discover related keywords and alternative terms to refine your search.

Citation:Why and How (00:03:19)
When citing sources, it is customary to provide a brief notation in the body of your writing, indicating that the information comes from another source. In APA style, this typically involves mentioning the author\\\\\\\'s surname and the publication date. There are free web tools available, such as Cite This For Me, that can assist you in generating citations. However, it is crucial to double-check the accuracy of the details provided by these tools. Remember to include both in-text citations and complete source details for proper citation.

Evaluating Information Sources (00:02:09)
Learn how to evaluate information effectively. Just like choosing a hair salon, consider the quality of the publisher, the authority of the authors, and the timeliness of the topic. Look for evidence, sources, and a reference list to cross-check information.

Types of Information Sources (00:01:55)
During the transition from high school to university, it\\\\\\\'s important to expand your range of information sources. Take into account the source type, such as newspapers, magazines, or government reports. As you progress in your academic journey, you\\\\\\\'ll delve into scientific literature tailored for researchers and scholars.
