    Where is the scholarly literature?


    The Library
    Lihat dulu list jurnal dan kemudian cari di rak buku judul

    STEP 2: coba lakukan berbagai cara pencarian yang

    berbeda untuk mencari satu informasi


    Jika terlalu sedikit kembangkan kata kunci
    Simpan informasi yang telah didapat dalam hard disk,
    sebelum dipilih mana yang dibutuhkan

    Boolean searching
    Most libraries allow you to AND or OR search

    terms together
    word1 AND word2 means both must be in the
    document
    word1 OR word2 means either can be in the document

    Many, like Google, assume AND


    E.g word1 word2 means word1 AND word2
    But you can enter word1 OR word2 in Google

    Common options are:

    Search only in title


    Search only in title and abstract
    Full text search
    Author search

    Need to play with different search options in order

    to get good results

    The Web/Google
    Use Google for greatest coverage and

    inclusion of PDF and PostScript files


    Use Google Scholar for primarily academic
    information
    Use to find very up-to-date information
    Most importantly, use to find easy topic
    introductions, overviews and definitions

    Google Scholar
    scholar.google.com

    Academic papers available from the web


    Abstracts of academic papers from digital libraries
    Not all the papers are scholarly, there are mistakes
    Its coverage is not complete
    Some free papers that are restricted elsewhere
    Also try the CITED BY link

    The stages of
    a keyword
    search

    Specialist vocabularies
    Researchers tend to use specific words or phrases to

    refer to their subject


    Knowing these phrases is a big help when searching for
    information
    E.g. digital libraries, collaboratories, human-computer
    interaction, software engineering (not programming!),

    Articles often have keyword lists, which can help you

    identify the specialist vocabulary in your area


    You will learn a specialist vocabulary as you progress
    through your literature search
