  2. Agenda • Finding what you need • Evaluating sources • Citing sources • Getting help • Questions (at any time)

  3. Meet the IAT 103W research guide

  4. Finding what you need Finding what you need on your topic often stems from three things: • Finding good keywords for your searches • Cycling your search • Selecting the right search tools for the job

  5. Finding good keywords Finding what you need on your topic often stems from three things: • Finding good keywords for your searches • Cycling your search • Selecting the right search tools for the job Most of our examples today will be related to 3D printers. Can you think of any synonymsorrelated concepts?

  6. Cycling a search Finding what you need on your topic often stems from three things: • Finding good keywords for your searches • Cycling your search • Selecting the right search tools for the job

  7. Selecting the right tools Finding what you need on your topic often stems from three things: • Finding good keywords for your searches • Cycling your search • Selecting the right search tools for the job

  8. Selecting the right tools Two questions on 3-D printers I want to answer: • What materials are used in 3-D printers for the actual printing? • Is it ethical to 3-D “bioprint” body parts? Spend 2-3 min. brainstorming places where you might find answers to these questions. (Note: Go beyond just saying “Google” here.)

  9. Creative thinking Creative thinking What if I couldn’t find any credible sources to help directly answer this question: Is it ethical to 3-D “bioprint” body parts?

  10. Selecting the right tools specialized information S scholarly articles specificity background information credibility not credible very credible

  11. Selecting the right tools Fast Search Library Search SFU Library’s Russian dolls Catalogue http://www.flickr.com/photos/aussiegall/288377539/

  12. Selecting the right tools Fast Search Library Search Tip: In most resources, you can add items to a folder and email them to yourself. Many will even email you APA citations. Demo:Fast Search Catalogue http://www.flickr.com/photos/aussiegall/288377539/

  13. Selecting the right tools The library has hundreds of databases, each of them designed for a (sometimes slightly) different function. The main types: • subject-specific databases (+ indexes) • multidisciplinary databases (+ indexes) (The IAT 103 guide includes links to both types.)

  14. Evaluating sources Are either of the articles on your handout scholarly? How can you tell?

  15. Evaluating sources

  16. Evaluating sources How can you tell if a website is credible?

  17. Citing sources What information don’t you need to cite? What information doyou need to cite?

  18. Citing sources IAT 103’s Research Guide includes links to • an APA style guide • a guide on citing images in APA style

  19. The very basics of APA style… You need to cite each source in two places: • In the body of the paper • Called an in-text citation • At the back of the paper • In the list of References (By the way: APA = American Psychological Association)

  20. The very basics of APA style… Two main ways to write in-text citations: • Cite source at start of sentence • For example: Author (year) found that … (page number) • Cite source at end of sentence • For example: … living tissue cells (Author, year, page number) Two sample in-text citations: Start of sentence example: Bose, Vahabzadeh, and Bandyopadhyay (2013) found that ... (p. 498). End of sentence example: ... tissue engineering (Bose, Vahabzadeh& Bandyopadhyay, 2013, pp. 498-499).

  21. The very basics of APA style… The format for references at the back of your paper will vary greatly, depending on the types of documents you are using. You find examples of each type of document you’ll be citing on the SFU Library’s APA style guide (link on your handout). Your list of References will be alphabetical. You will use hanging indentation style (shown on the next slide) for your list of references.

  22. The very basics of APA style… Here is an sample entry for how an electronic article would appear in a list of References: Bose, S., Vahabzadeh, S., & Bandyopadhyay, A. (2013). Bone tissue engineering using 3D printing. Materials Today, 16(12), 496-504. doi:10.1016/j.mattod.2013.11.017

  23. Practice using APA style… Using the first page of the article on bioprinting, write an in-text citation and an entry for a list of References.

  24. Practice using APA style… What did you write for your in-text citation? Start of sentence citation: Ozbolat and Yu (2013) found that ... (p. 692). End of sentence citation: …. living cells (Ozbolat & Yu, 2013, p. 692).

  25. Practice using APA style… Authors? Ozbolat, I. T., & Yu, Y. Year? (2013.) Article title? Bioprinting toward organ fabrication: Challenges and future trends. Journal title? IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering Vol. + issue #? 60(3) Pages 691-699 DOI? doi:10.1109/TBME.2013.2243912 Identifying the necessary citation elements for the article:

  26. Practice using APA style… Here is what the References citation for this electronic article should look like: Ozbolat, I. T., & Yu, Y. (2013). Bioprinting toward organ fabrication: Challenges and future trends. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 60(3), 691-699. doi:10.1109/TBME.2013.2243912

  27. Managing citations Citation managers keep track of sources and can generate bibliographies for you. A few of the best known: • Zotero* • RefWorks • Mendeley

  29. Getting help The library provides many ways to get help: • In-person at the reference desk • Telephone • Email • IM • Text message • Student Learning Commons
