(p. 4) final page list of references
(p. 5/6) last 2 p: libary worksheet & the original search term papers w the pink ink

I also took notes on how to research:
go to library home page

  • click articles
  • search database click Sociology - then click sociological abstracts
  • date range 2001-2010
  • journal articles only
  • type 1 term in each box & next term on box below - click search
  • edit search to add more terms
  • substitute terms untill you get terms that have the most hits around 300-400
  • can add more terms to the OR section to get more articles
  • if you add an asterik * to a search term as a "wildcard"
  • U can click on an article & check them so U can send them to yourself
  • click on marked records
  • click save, print, email
  • U email URself then click back to return to results on top of page
  • For full text on article, click Find It! (this checks all databases for the full text of article)
  • Use SAGE (if U are lucky enough to have found it on database) then it'll pop up .pdf of article
  • You can save it to your desktop, print it or email it also

    finding websites other than using google
    go to library homepage and click on recommended websites - click on any of the list
    type search term/terms (Number 8 on worksheet)
    if you must use google, click on advanced search and type in all terms using or after each
    ie. culture or children or los angeles
  • also click to class web page for more
