1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
>> This last think-aloud,

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,490
strategy number 5, just
scope out other resources.

3
00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:10,350
I'm going to use the Canvas page

4
00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:14,340
as a guide to go through this
last think-aloud because there's

5
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:18,045
so many things that the library has

6
00:00:18,045 --> 00:00:24,090
besides digital databases
that you can access.

7
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:27,750
I wanted to let you know about
the people in the departments and

8
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:32,565
other resources within the library that
might be useful towards your research.

9
00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:36,570
First of all, we have library liaisons.

10
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:42,180
Library liaisons are each
discipline has its own librarian.

11
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:45,095
So no matter what discipline you are in,

12
00:00:45,095 --> 00:00:48,440
you will be able to find someone
that can help you and you can click

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,265
the name to get to their
e-mail and get help.

14
00:00:52,265 --> 00:01:02,210
Another service within the library
that doesn't report to the library,

15
00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:07,380
but it's located in the library is
the University Writing Centers.

16
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:08,510
We have two of them,

17
00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:11,000
so there's an Undergraduate Writing Center,

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,910
and there is a Graduate Writing Center.

19
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:16,715
The Undergraduate Writing
Center is on the second floor,

20
00:01:16,715 --> 00:01:19,730
and the Graduate Writing
Center is in Room 1180,

21
00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:21,880
which is the graduate reading room.

22
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,910
Each one of these services has
e-tutoring so that you can

23
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:31,910
submit your writing for assistance
from the writing consultants.

24
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:33,920
It is located in the library,

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,835
but does not report to the library.

26
00:01:36,835 --> 00:01:42,860
Subject guides are really helpful
guides that are created by librarians.

27
00:01:42,860 --> 00:01:50,269
For example, all of these topics there
are guides for every discipline,

28
00:01:50,269 --> 00:01:51,990
but there's also guides for,

29
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:54,410
like here's the one on children's books,

30
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:59,830
one on consumer health, one on copyright.

31
00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:11,030
Here's one on fundamentals of
academic authorship in the US,

32
00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:14,150
and Allyson Mower is our
copyright librarian.

33
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:18,660
Those are really helpful guides
where the librarians have

34
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:22,835
put together resources that they think
are the most valuable for you to have.

35
00:02:22,835 --> 00:02:24,830
Some other things you can look at there,

36
00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:27,785
there's a library guide
for a literature review,

37
00:02:27,785 --> 00:02:31,195
there's one for literature
review in the health sciences.

38
00:02:31,195 --> 00:02:33,755
The library does offer workshops

39
00:02:33,755 --> 00:02:36,400
and we don't have anything
posted here right now,

40
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,145
but we will be doing some online
workshops coming up in the fall,

41
00:02:41,145 --> 00:02:43,195
stay tuned for those.

42
00:02:43,195 --> 00:02:47,100
Inter-library loan, this
is my favorite place.

43
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:52,800
Don't ever pay for an article
through inter-library loan,

44
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,495
if you can't find a full-text article
that you need for your research.

45
00:02:56,495 --> 00:02:58,955
You log on with your unit

46
00:02:58,955 --> 00:03:02,795
and then fill out the form
with what you're looking for,

47
00:03:02,795 --> 00:03:05,230
and they will help you find it for free.

48
00:03:05,230 --> 00:03:07,740
Suggest a purchase and media.

49
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:11,810
If you're teaching and you
need media for your class,

50
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:13,490
you can order it through this form,

51
00:03:13,490 --> 00:03:15,655
you just log in with your unit.

52
00:03:15,655 --> 00:03:19,400
Also suggest a purchase if there's
a book that you find that you

53
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,500
think would really benefit
the library collection,

54
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:27,280
you can also request a purchase.

55
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,410
During these times of COVID
that's really hard to do,

56
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:32,180
but that is a good thing.

57
00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:34,625
We do have a library guide

58
00:03:34,625 --> 00:03:40,775
for getting additional books during
COVID if you're also interested in that.

59
00:03:40,775 --> 00:03:48,670
Special collections and digital media
collections have primary resources,

60
00:03:48,670 --> 00:03:51,945
this is the digital library collection.

61
00:03:51,945 --> 00:04:00,840
They have some really
interesting collections, photos,

62
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,855
they're doing a Utah COVID collection,

63
00:04:03,855 --> 00:04:07,980
there's a feature digital exhibit on

64
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:13,505
a Salt Lake City-based newspaper
that was published from 1872-1914.

65
00:04:13,505 --> 00:04:17,840
There's a lot of really good primary
resources, Sanborn Fire Maps,

66
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,375
or all the old fire maps from
1867 into the early 20th century.

67
00:04:23,375 --> 00:04:27,920
These resources, depending on
what your research topic is,

68
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,175
you may be able to find
some interesting things.

69
00:04:30,175 --> 00:04:31,845
We have a Ski Archive,

70
00:04:31,845 --> 00:04:34,010
there's an archive of Topaz,

71
00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:36,170
which was the Japanese internment camp.

72
00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:38,090
There's some really new topics and you

73
00:04:38,090 --> 00:04:39,770
should go through and take a look at those.

74
00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:42,710
We also have a government
documents collection,

75
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:45,950
so you can find government docs,

76
00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:48,060
depending on what you're looking for,

77
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:50,270
you might be looking for statistics or

78
00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:55,730
historical information or
reports from agencies like NASA,

79
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:57,680
all of those can be found there.

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,780
In addition to the Marriott Library,

81
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:05,300
we do also have the James E.
Faust College of Law Library,

82
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,130
the Health Sciences Library,

83
00:05:07,130 --> 00:05:08,720
and the McKay Music Library.

84
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,910
There are three specialty libraries
that you also might want to check out.

85
00:05:12,910 --> 00:05:16,260
When you're doing research
one of my big tips is

86
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:19,620
to use the ProQuest thesis
and dissertation database.

87
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:26,570
I call this benefiting from your
successful predecessors in your research.

88
00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:28,865
You can actually go into Advanced Search

89
00:05:28,865 --> 00:05:31,654
and look at just the
University of Utah thesis,

90
00:05:31,654 --> 00:05:35,765
even down to thesis just by my advisor,

91
00:05:35,765 --> 00:05:37,555
if you're interested in that.

92
00:05:37,555 --> 00:05:40,280
Dissertations are not scholarly sources,

93
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:44,810
but they are chock-full of
really good information.

94
00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:47,480
For example, the references,

95
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760
they often have over 100 references,

96
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,370
so if you find a
dissertation on your topic,

97
00:05:52,370 --> 00:05:54,405
it is a wealth of references,

98
00:05:54,405 --> 00:05:57,485
you can copy the titles and
put them in Google Scholar.

99
00:05:57,485 --> 00:06:00,310
You also can look at what a
good lit review looks like.

100
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:03,770
Chapter 2 is usually the lit
review in a dissertation.

101
00:06:03,770 --> 00:06:05,855
Chapter 1 is the introduction.

102
00:06:05,855 --> 00:06:08,915
If you're looking for a
particular type of research,

103
00:06:08,915 --> 00:06:10,940
if you're looking for
quantitative research,

104
00:06:10,940 --> 00:06:14,000
correlation research, qualitative research,

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,405
auto-ethnography research, you can search

106
00:06:17,405 --> 00:06:22,400
those particular research methodologies
to see the methods section,

107
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,460
which is Chapter 3.

108
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:28,475
The university does have a data repository,

109
00:06:28,475 --> 00:06:30,620
so if you're collecting
data and you would like to

110
00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:33,500
store your data at the university,

111
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,840
we have a repository called The Hive.

112
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:39,980
I also have a link here for

113
00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:43,220
educational statistical data
being the education library.

114
00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:48,470
I get a lot of requests from students
who are looking for K-12 data from say,

115
00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:50,990
Detroit or a city or a state,

116
00:06:50,990 --> 00:06:59,030
and I can help you find that data through
the NCES education statistical data.

117
00:06:59,030 --> 00:07:02,630
There's also a really cool website if
you're looking for social data and

118
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:07,605
COVID data in public health data,

119
00:07:07,605 --> 00:07:10,050
it's called 500 US cities.

120
00:07:10,050 --> 00:07:12,630
You can select what you're looking for,

121
00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:17,140
and then look at different main
major cities across the US.

122
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:20,750
These are all of resources, and people,

123
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:27,080
and departments that can also help you
with your research needs, so just ask.

124
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,040
That's the last section of this strategy 5.

125
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,815
It's scope out what is available.

126
00:07:33,815 --> 00:07:34,939
If you have questions,

127
00:07:34,939 --> 00:07:38,630
please contact me and let
me know so I can help you.

128
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:41,270
If you can't find what you're looking for,

129
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:45,345
we can find some resources in other places.

130
00:07:45,345 --> 00:07:49,190
We do have a lot of resources, for example,

131
00:07:49,190 --> 00:07:53,100
a student I was working with last
week was looking for oral histories,

132
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:57,140
and we have oral history documents
that had been scanned in that

133
00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:01,445
she could look at the oral
history of Native Americans,

134
00:08:01,445 --> 00:08:05,875
so that we do have a lot of
resources that are available.

135
00:08:05,875 --> 00:08:08,235
Take care. Stay in touched.

136
00:08:08,235 --> 00:08:10,660
Contact me if you have a question.
