1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,020 >> For this first think-aloud, 2 00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:08,055 I'm going to go through the process of thinking broad. 3 00:00:08,055 --> 00:00:10,410 That is the first strategy, to go broad. 4 00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:13,170 This is a strategy that you'll use at the beginning of 5 00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:15,360 your research when you're really not 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,105 sure of exactly what topic you want to look at, 7 00:00:18,105 --> 00:00:21,510 or you're trying to find something that's more interesting to you. 8 00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:23,820 There are some tools that you can use that will give 9 00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:26,085 you a really broad view of the literature 10 00:00:26,085 --> 00:00:27,510 so that you can see 11 00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:31,200 the scholarly conversation that's happening around your topic. 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:37,155 For this strategy, I recommend that there's two tools that you use. 13 00:00:37,155 --> 00:00:39,740 One is the library homepage you search, 14 00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:43,810 which is this large search field on the homepage. 15 00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:47,130 The other one is Google Scholar. 16 00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:49,515 Let's go back here to Google Scholar. 17 00:00:49,515 --> 00:00:52,230 Google Scholar can be connected to 18 00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:58,055 the library website so that you can go back and forth between the two. 19 00:00:58,055 --> 00:01:01,880 This is really helpful because sometimes you can find things in 20 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,900 Google Scholar that aren't available in the library and vice versa. 21 00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:10,070 Before you start anything, 22 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:15,050 we want to go to the library homepage and we want to click on "Log in" in 23 00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:18,440 the top right corner and make sure that we have 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,270 access granted so that we can download full-text PDFs. 25 00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:26,390 If you click on "Off-campus access" 26 00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:29,630 and you don't get this green granted button, 27 00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:31,610 you'll have to login with your unit and 28 00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:36,425 password so that you'll be able to download full-text articles. 29 00:01:36,425 --> 00:01:39,950 Once you do that, we're going to go to Google Scholar and we're going 30 00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:43,525 to set up Google Scholar to connect to the library catalog. 31 00:01:43,525 --> 00:01:45,470 I'm going to click on this menu here, 32 00:01:45,470 --> 00:01:47,615 I am in Chrome, so I have a menu. 33 00:01:47,615 --> 00:01:49,190 If you're in Firefox, 34 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:52,585 you might just have this wheel up there and you'll click on that. 35 00:01:52,585 --> 00:01:55,560 We're going to Settings and then you're going to go to 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,695 Library links and put in University of Utah. 37 00:02:00,695 --> 00:02:06,760 You're going to search the name and all the Utah universities will pop up. 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,470 I'm going to check the box for 39 00:02:08,470 --> 00:02:12,850 University of Utah - Get It @ UU and I'm going to save that. 40 00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:16,675 Now I'm all set so that anything I find here, 41 00:02:16,675 --> 00:02:19,180 if it says we have it at the U, 42 00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:23,210 then I can go over to the U and download the PDF. 43 00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:30,370 My topic is around the community of what is called third space professionals. 44 00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:34,060 In higher education, there's a group of people that are not associated 45 00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:37,675 with disciplines like economics and psychology and math. 46 00:02:37,675 --> 00:02:40,180 Instead, they work at the university in 47 00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:43,315 the borders or the boundaries around the disciplines. 48 00:02:43,315 --> 00:02:45,730 That's why it's called third space. 49 00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:47,950 These are people like IT people, 50 00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:51,665 instructional designers, advisors, and librarians like me. 51 00:02:51,665 --> 00:02:54,955 I work with people in a lot of different disciplines. 52 00:02:54,955 --> 00:03:00,815 My topic, I'm going to put in some keywords that I'm going to start a search. 53 00:03:00,815 --> 00:03:04,150 This is the hardest part of your search because you're just 54 00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:07,880 kind of trial and error your keywords. 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240 I made a little statement about what I was 56 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,490 going to research and I'm going to pull some words from 57 00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:17,170 that statement which are language because I want to know the language 58 00:03:17,170 --> 00:03:23,190 around this community of third space Professionals. 59 00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:25,470 I'm going to use the word practice 60 00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:29,450 because I want to know what they say they do, 61 00:03:29,450 --> 00:03:33,830 what is their practice and I'm going to say third space professionals, 62 00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:37,575 which is the community that I am researching. 63 00:03:37,575 --> 00:03:40,570 I'm just going to do professional without the s. 64 00:03:40,570 --> 00:03:43,760 >> I find three million results, that's a lot. 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,625 I don't have time to go through three million results. 66 00:03:46,625 --> 00:03:50,705 I'm going to try to narrow it down and try to get closer to my topic. 67 00:03:50,705 --> 00:03:53,330 I'm going to click on custom range and I'm going 68 00:03:53,330 --> 00:03:55,895 to narrow to the last 10 years. 69 00:03:55,895 --> 00:03:58,350 This is a pretty new topic. 70 00:03:58,350 --> 00:04:00,370 I don't need to go back. 71 00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:02,440 I'm down to 900,000. 72 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,665 Another strategy to narrow down your results, 73 00:04:05,665 --> 00:04:08,650 is to use not only the ANDs. 74 00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:11,795 ANDs often broaden. Your search, 75 00:04:11,795 --> 00:04:18,275 I'm going to use quotation marks around the word "Third Space Professional". 76 00:04:18,275 --> 00:04:21,664 This is an actual phrase that is in the literature, 77 00:04:21,664 --> 00:04:23,930 so if I put quotation marks around it, 78 00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:25,130 it will find that phrase, 79 00:04:25,130 --> 00:04:27,140 not the individual words. 80 00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:30,260 I'm going to search that and that brings me down to 68. 81 00:04:30,260 --> 00:04:31,565 Well, that was drastic. 82 00:04:31,565 --> 00:04:34,310 From 900,000 down to 68. 83 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:36,365 But let's take a look what we found. 84 00:04:36,365 --> 00:04:39,290 What I do in Google Scholar is I scan, 85 00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:41,240 I look for new keywords, 86 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,865 like identities, might be a keyword, 87 00:04:43,865 --> 00:04:48,814 I could say professional identities and third space, 88 00:04:48,814 --> 00:04:53,285 I look keywords, I look at the authors. 89 00:04:53,285 --> 00:04:55,895 I see here C Whitchurch, 90 00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:59,365 C Whitchurch, C Whitchurch. 91 00:04:59,365 --> 00:05:00,985 She's occurring quite a bit. 92 00:05:00,985 --> 00:05:02,740 This is Celia, actually, 93 00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:04,750 it's Whitchurch and she is from 94 00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:07,920 the UK and she's one of the primary authors on this topic. 95 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,050 I would expect to see a lot of her work here in Google scholar. 96 00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:14,135 She's also from the UK. 97 00:05:14,135 --> 00:05:16,400 You'll see this one, 98 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,450 optimizing the potential of Third Space Professionals is 99 00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:25,130 a document that's posted on a university website in the UK. 100 00:05:25,130 --> 00:05:27,380 We do not have a copy of this in the library, 101 00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:30,755 but I can click here and download this from the UK. 102 00:05:30,755 --> 00:05:34,505 This one up here is available on the author's site, 103 00:05:34,505 --> 00:05:36,755 but also available through the UU. 104 00:05:36,755 --> 00:05:39,815 If I click on "Get It @UU", 105 00:05:39,815 --> 00:05:43,730 it'll take me into the library space. 106 00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:45,530 You see U Libraries, 107 00:05:45,530 --> 00:05:51,125 and then you see all of the databases that contain this article. 108 00:05:51,125 --> 00:05:53,525 I'm just going to click on the first one. 109 00:05:53,525 --> 00:05:56,075 When I get to the abstract page, 110 00:05:56,075 --> 00:05:57,455 I'm going to look at the abstract. 111 00:05:57,455 --> 00:05:59,510 Is this really an article that I want to download? 112 00:05:59,510 --> 00:06:02,210 I don't want to waste time downloading a ton 113 00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:05,420 of articles if I'm not going to be able to use them or read them. 114 00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:08,675 I want to look at the abstract and see if this is a good article. 115 00:06:08,675 --> 00:06:10,850 I can pick up new words there as well. 116 00:06:10,850 --> 00:06:12,200 Look at these keywords, 117 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,545 professional learning, professional identity. 118 00:06:15,545 --> 00:06:18,530 These could also be new keywords. 119 00:06:18,530 --> 00:06:21,650 I keep a little journal of my keywords when I'm doing 120 00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:25,760 this exploring of the literature space, 121 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,520 so that I can mix and match those keywords and try to find the best articles. 122 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,195 I'm going to download this one because this looks like a good one to me. 123 00:06:35,195 --> 00:06:37,280 Then I'm going to go back to 124 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:41,105 this U Library window and go back to Google Scholar. 125 00:06:41,105 --> 00:06:45,395 Another thing that Google Scholar has is the cited bys. 126 00:06:45,395 --> 00:06:49,610 This book by Celia was cited 270 times. 127 00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:50,765 If I click on that, 128 00:06:50,765 --> 00:06:55,490 I see all 270 people that cited that book. 129 00:06:55,490 --> 00:06:57,560 Sometimes this is really helpful when 130 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,765 you're looking for more recent literature. 131 00:06:59,765 --> 00:07:03,545 Like this book was written in 2012, which is pretty new. 132 00:07:03,545 --> 00:07:06,290 Let's say it was written like in 2000, 133 00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:08,720 you could click the cited bys and see 134 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,730 more recent literature that's been cited since that book was published. 135 00:07:13,730 --> 00:07:16,100 >> Also have quotation marks here, 136 00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:20,345 which will show you the citation in MLA, 137 00:07:20,345 --> 00:07:22,925 or APA , or Chicago, or Harvard, 138 00:07:22,925 --> 00:07:27,155 or Vancouver and this will give you a good start on your citation. 139 00:07:27,155 --> 00:07:30,150 But a disclaimer, they are not always correct. 140 00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,830 When you click these little shortcuts to get 141 00:07:32,830 --> 00:07:36,865 citations from databases or in Google Scholar, 142 00:07:36,865 --> 00:07:39,775 but it is a great start to your citation. 143 00:07:39,775 --> 00:07:43,550 The pieces will be there, you might just have to do some editing. 144 00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:48,650 So this is a great way to start and 145 00:07:48,650 --> 00:07:51,140 then maybe I want to play around with 146 00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:53,990 keywords some more because I only have 68 here. 147 00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:57,890 So I'm going to do Third Space separately because I see 148 00:07:57,890 --> 00:08:02,480 like Third Space Professionals, Third Space Practice. 149 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,485 I see some other ways that I might be able to do this. 150 00:08:06,485 --> 00:08:08,405 I'm going to Add And, 151 00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:13,715 and I'm going to say Professional Identity. 152 00:08:13,715 --> 00:08:16,310 I'm going to put Third space and 153 00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:19,925 Professional Identity in quotation marks because they're phrases, 154 00:08:19,925 --> 00:08:22,025 and I'm up to 1,500. 155 00:08:22,025 --> 00:08:24,560 This is much closer to what I'm interested in 156 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,770 researching because I'm looking at the identity 157 00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:31,580 of Third Space Professionals and also in how they 158 00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:36,710 function in the boundaries between the disciplines as well as the fringes. 159 00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:40,925 So this looks like a much closer search to what I'm looking for. 160 00:08:40,925 --> 00:08:44,720 You can click up in here in Google Scholar and I could copy 161 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,730 this Search and I can put it into a Word File or a Box Folder. 162 00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:52,310 We'll get to that later in another strategy, 163 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:55,610 and then I can come back to this Search. 164 00:08:55,610 --> 00:08:58,880 It will save not only these 1,500 165 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,225 results but it will save these keywords for me. 166 00:09:02,225 --> 00:09:06,515 I'm going to copy the keywords and I'm going to go to the Library Homepage, 167 00:09:06,515 --> 00:09:10,895 and I'm going to put that in here and see what I find. 168 00:09:10,895 --> 00:09:14,720 You're not going to find as many as that on Google Scholar, 169 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,585 which is an international wide database. 170 00:09:17,585 --> 00:09:21,125 These are resources that the library owns. 171 00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:25,250 We own a lot, we own a few million books and we do own 172 00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:29,435 a lot of databases that you can get full text articles from. 173 00:09:29,435 --> 00:09:31,280 But it's not as broad as 174 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,015 Google Scholar that's why I like to use the both of them together. 175 00:09:35,015 --> 00:09:37,490 So we have some articles, 176 00:09:37,490 --> 00:09:38,900 we have a dissertation, 177 00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:41,450 we'll get to that in another one of the strategies. 178 00:09:41,450 --> 00:09:45,650 Because dissertations are not scholarly resources that you can site. 179 00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:48,650 But they are great. They're great resources that 180 00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:52,440 you can mine and that's strategy number three. 181 00:09:52,930 --> 00:09:57,275 If this is not exactly what you're looking for, 182 00:09:57,275 --> 00:10:01,115 then you could get rid of your quotation marks. 183 00:10:01,115 --> 00:10:04,890 Maybe broaden it up a little bit then, 184 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,390 and see how that would change your search. 185 00:10:11,390 --> 00:10:16,400 So this first strategy is about exploring. 186 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,065 You see, we went to a lot more resources. 187 00:10:21,065 --> 00:10:24,990 Now we have 1,500 books as well. 188 00:10:25,390 --> 00:10:30,949 You need to play around with your keywords to see what you're finding, 189 00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:36,270 and now we are ready to go on to strategy number two.
