WEBVTT 00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:04.020 >> For this first think-aloud, 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:08.055 I'm going to go through the process of thinking broad. 00:00:08.055 --> 00:00:10.410 That is the first strategy, to go broad. 00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:13.170 This is a strategy that you'll use at the beginning of 00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:15.360 your research when you're really not 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:18.105 sure of exactly what topic you want to look at, 00:00:18.105 --> 00:00:21.510 or you're trying to find something that's more interesting to you. 00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:23.820 There are some tools that you can use that will give 00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:26.085 you a really broad view of the literature 00:00:26.085 --> 00:00:27.510 so that you can see 00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:31.200 the scholarly conversation that's happening around your topic. 00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:37.155 For this strategy, I recommend that there's two tools that you use. 00:00:37.155 --> 00:00:39.740 One is the library homepage you search, 00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:43.810 which is this large search field on the homepage. 00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:47.130 The other one is Google Scholar. 00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:49.515 Let's go back here to Google Scholar. 00:00:49.515 --> 00:00:52.230 Google Scholar can be connected to 00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:58.055 the library website so that you can go back and forth between the two. 00:00:58.055 --> 00:01:01.880 This is really helpful because sometimes you can find things in 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.900 Google Scholar that aren't available in the library and vice versa. 00:01:07.070 --> 00:01:10.070 Before you start anything, 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 00:01:15.050 --> 00:01:18.440 the top right corner and make sure that we have 00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:23.270 access granted so that we can download full-text PDFs. 00:01:23.270 --> 00:01:26.390 If you click on "Off-campus access" 00:01:26.390 --> 00:01:29.630 and you don't get this green granted button, 00:01:29.630 --> 00:01:31.610 you'll have to login with your unit and 00:01:31.610 --> 00:01:36.425 password so that you'll be able to download full-text articles. 00:01:36.425 --> 00:01:39.950 Once you do that, we're going to go to Google Scholar and we're going 00:01:39.950 --> 00:01:43.525 to set up Google Scholar to connect to the library catalog. 00:01:43.525 --> 00:01:45.470 I'm going to click on this menu here, 00:01:45.470 --> 00:01:47.615 I am in Chrome, so I have a menu. 00:01:47.615 --> 00:01:49.190 If you're in Firefox, 00:01:49.190 --> 00:01:52.585 you might just have this wheel up there and you'll click on that. 00:01:52.585 --> 00:01:55.560 We're going to Settings and then you're going to go to 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.695 Library links and put in University of Utah. 00:02:00.695 --> 00:02:06.760 You're going to search the name and all the Utah universities will pop up. 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.470 I'm going to check the box for 00:02:08.470 --> 00:02:12.850 University of Utah - Get It @ UU and I'm going to save that. 00:02:12.850 --> 00:02:16.675 Now I'm all set so that anything I find here, 00:02:16.675 --> 00:02:19.180 if it says we have it at the U, 00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:23.210 then I can go over to the U and download the PDF. 00:02:23.210 --> 00:02:30.370 My topic is around the community of what is called third space professionals. 00:02:30.370 --> 00:02:34.060 In higher education, there's a group of people that are not associated 00:02:34.060 --> 00:02:37.675 with disciplines like economics and psychology and math. 00:02:37.675 --> 00:02:40.180 Instead, they work at the university in 00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:43.315 the borders or the boundaries around the disciplines. 00:02:43.315 --> 00:02:45.730 That's why it's called third space. 00:02:45.730 --> 00:02:47.950 These are people like IT people, 00:02:47.950 --> 00:02:51.665 instructional designers, advisors, and librarians like me. 00:02:51.665 --> 00:02:54.955 I work with people in a lot of different disciplines. 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. 00:03:00.815 --> 00:03:04.150 This is the hardest part of your search because you're just 00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:07.880 kind of trial and error your keywords. 00:03:07.880 --> 00:03:10.240 I made a little statement about what I was 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.490 going to research and I'm going to pull some words from 00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:17.170 that statement which are language because I want to know the language 00:03:17.170 --> 00:03:23.190 around this community of third space Professionals. 00:03:23.190 --> 00:03:25.470 I'm going to use the word practice 00:03:25.470 --> 00:03:29.450 because I want to know what they say they do, 00:03:29.450 --> 00:03:33.830 what is their practice and I'm going to say third space professionals, 00:03:33.830 --> 00:03:37.575 which is the community that I am researching. 00:03:37.575 --> 00:03:40.570 I'm just going to do professional without the s. 00:03:40.570 --> 00:03:43.760 >> I find three million results, that's a lot. 00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:46.625 I don't have time to go through three million results. 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. 00:03:50.705 --> 00:03:53.330 I'm going to click on custom range and I'm going 00:03:53.330 --> 00:03:55.895 to narrow to the last 10 years. 00:03:55.895 --> 00:03:58.350 This is a pretty new topic. 00:03:58.350 --> 00:04:00.370 I don't need to go back. 00:04:00.370 --> 00:04:02.440 I'm down to 900,000. 00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:05.665 Another strategy to narrow down your results, 00:04:05.665 --> 00:04:08.650 is to use not only the ANDs. 00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:11.795 ANDs often broaden. Your search, 00:04:11.795 --> 00:04:18.275 I'm going to use quotation marks around the word "Third Space Professional". 00:04:18.275 --> 00:04:21.664 This is an actual phrase that is in the literature, 00:04:21.664 --> 00:04:23.930 so if I put quotation marks around it, 00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:25.130 it will find that phrase, 00:04:25.130 --> 00:04:27.140 not the individual words. 00:04:27.140 --> 00:04:30.260 I'm going to search that and that brings me down to 68. 00:04:30.260 --> 00:04:31.565 Well, that was drastic. 00:04:31.565 --> 00:04:34.310 From 900,000 down to 68. 00:04:34.310 --> 00:04:36.365 But let's take a look what we found. 00:04:36.365 --> 00:04:39.290 What I do in Google Scholar is I scan, 00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.240 I look for new keywords, 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.865 like identities, might be a keyword, 00:04:43.865 --> 00:04:48.814 I could say professional identities and third space, 00:04:48.814 --> 00:04:53.285 I look keywords, I look at the authors. 00:04:53.285 --> 00:04:55.895 I see here C Whitchurch, 00:04:55.895 --> 00:04:59.365 C Whitchurch, C Whitchurch. 00:04:59.365 --> 00:05:00.985 She's occurring quite a bit. 00:05:00.985 --> 00:05:02.740 This is Celia, actually, 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:04.750 it's Whitchurch and she is from 00:05:04.750 --> 00:05:07.920 the UK and she's one of the primary authors on this topic. 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:12.050 I would expect to see a lot of her work here in Google scholar. 00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:14.135 She's also from the UK. 00:05:14.135 --> 00:05:16.400 You'll see this one, 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:20.450 optimizing the potential of Third Space Professionals is 00:05:20.450 --> 00:05:25.130 a document that's posted on a university website in the UK. 00:05:25.130 --> 00:05:27.380 We do not have a copy of this in the library, 00:05:27.380 --> 00:05:30.755 but I can click here and download this from the UK. 00:05:30.755 --> 00:05:34.505 This one up here is available on the author's site, 00:05:34.505 --> 00:05:36.755 but also available through the UU. 00:05:36.755 --> 00:05:39.815 If I click on "Get It @UU", 00:05:39.815 --> 00:05:43.730 it'll take me into the library space. 00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:45.530 You see U Libraries, 00:05:45.530 --> 00:05:51.125 and then you see all of the databases that contain this article. 00:05:51.125 --> 00:05:53.525 I'm just going to click on the first one. 00:05:53.525 --> 00:05:56.075 When I get to the abstract page, 00:05:56.075 --> 00:05:57.455 I'm going to look at the abstract. 00:05:57.455 --> 00:05:59.510 Is this really an article that I want to download? 00:05:59.510 --> 00:06:02.210 I don't want to waste time downloading a ton 00:06:02.210 --> 00:06:05.420 of articles if I'm not going to be able to use them or read them. 00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:08.675 I want to look at the abstract and see if this is a good article. 00:06:08.675 --> 00:06:10.850 I can pick up new words there as well. 00:06:10.850 --> 00:06:12.200 Look at these keywords, 00:06:12.200 --> 00:06:15.545 professional learning, professional identity. 00:06:15.545 --> 00:06:18.530 These could also be new keywords. 00:06:18.530 --> 00:06:21.650 I keep a little journal of my keywords when I'm doing 00:06:21.650 --> 00:06:25.760 this exploring of the literature space, 00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:31.520 so that I can mix and match those keywords and try to find the best articles. 00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:35.195 I'm going to download this one because this looks like a good one to me. 00:06:35.195 --> 00:06:37.280 Then I'm going to go back to 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:41.105 this U Library window and go back to Google Scholar. 00:06:41.105 --> 00:06:45.395 Another thing that Google Scholar has is the cited bys. 00:06:45.395 --> 00:06:49.610 This book by Celia was cited 270 times. 00:06:49.610 --> 00:06:50.765 If I click on that, 00:06:50.765 --> 00:06:55.490 I see all 270 people that cited that book. 00:06:55.490 --> 00:06:57.560 Sometimes this is really helpful when 00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.765 you're looking for more recent literature. 00:06:59.765 --> 00:07:03.545 Like this book was written in 2012, which is pretty new. 00:07:03.545 --> 00:07:06.290 Let's say it was written like in 2000, 00:07:06.290 --> 00:07:08.720 you could click the cited bys and see 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.730 more recent literature that's been cited since that book was published. 00:07:13.730 --> 00:07:16.100 >> Also have quotation marks here, 00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:20.345 which will show you the citation in MLA, 00:07:20.345 --> 00:07:22.925 or APA , or Chicago, or Harvard, 00:07:22.925 --> 00:07:27.155 or Vancouver and this will give you a good start on your citation. 00:07:27.155 --> 00:07:30.150 But a disclaimer, they are not always correct. 00:07:30.150 --> 00:07:32.830 When you click these little shortcuts to get 00:07:32.830 --> 00:07:36.865 citations from databases or in Google Scholar, 00:07:36.865 --> 00:07:39.775 but it is a great start to your citation. 00:07:39.775 --> 00:07:43.550 The pieces will be there, you might just have to do some editing. 00:07:43.870 --> 00:07:48.650 So this is a great way to start and 00:07:48.650 --> 00:07:51.140 then maybe I want to play around with 00:07:51.140 --> 00:07:53.990 keywords some more because I only have 68 here. 00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:57.890 So I'm going to do Third Space separately because I see 00:07:57.890 --> 00:08:02.480 like Third Space Professionals, Third Space Practice. 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.485 I see some other ways that I might be able to do this. 00:08:06.485 --> 00:08:08.405 I'm going to Add And, 00:08:08.405 --> 00:08:13.715 and I'm going to say Professional Identity. 00:08:13.715 --> 00:08:16.310 I'm going to put Third space and 00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:19.925 Professional Identity in quotation marks because they're phrases, 00:08:19.925 --> 00:08:22.025 and I'm up to 1,500. 00:08:22.025 --> 00:08:24.560 This is much closer to what I'm interested in 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.770 researching because I'm looking at the identity 00:08:27.770 --> 00:08:31.580 of Third Space Professionals and also in how they 00:08:31.580 --> 00:08:36.710 function in the boundaries between the disciplines as well as the fringes. 00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:40.925 So this looks like a much closer search to what I'm looking for. 00:08:40.925 --> 00:08:44.720 You can click up in here in Google Scholar and I could copy 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:49.730 this Search and I can put it into a Word File or a Box Folder. 00:08:49.730 --> 00:08:52.310 We'll get to that later in another strategy, 00:08:52.310 --> 00:08:55.610 and then I can come back to this Search. 00:08:55.610 --> 00:08:58.880 It will save not only these 1,500 00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:02.225 results but it will save these keywords for me. 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, 00:09:06.515 --> 00:09:10.895 and I'm going to put that in here and see what I find. 00:09:10.895 --> 00:09:14.720 You're not going to find as many as that on Google Scholar, 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.585 which is an international wide database. 00:09:17.585 --> 00:09:21.125 These are resources that the library owns. 00:09:21.125 --> 00:09:25.250 We own a lot, we own a few million books and we do own 00:09:25.250 --> 00:09:29.435 a lot of databases that you can get full text articles from. 00:09:29.435 --> 00:09:31.280 But it's not as broad as 00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:35.015 Google Scholar that's why I like to use the both of them together. 00:09:35.015 --> 00:09:37.490 So we have some articles, 00:09:37.490 --> 00:09:38.900 we have a dissertation, 00:09:38.900 --> 00:09:41.450 we'll get to that in another one of the strategies. 00:09:41.450 --> 00:09:45.650 Because dissertations are not scholarly resources that you can site. 00:09:45.650 --> 00:09:48.650 But they are great. They're great resources that 00:09:48.650 --> 00:09:52.440 you can mine and that's strategy number three. 00:09:52.930 --> 00:09:57.275 If this is not exactly what you're looking for, 00:09:57.275 --> 00:10:01.115 then you could get rid of your quotation marks. 00:10:01.115 --> 00:10:04.890 Maybe broaden it up a little bit then, 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.390 and see how that would change your search. 00:10:11.390 --> 00:10:16.400 So this first strategy is about exploring. 00:10:16.400 --> 00:10:21.065 You see, we went to a lot more resources. 00:10:21.065 --> 00:10:24.990 Now we have 1,500 books as well. 00:10:25.390 --> 00:10:30.949 You need to play around with your keywords to see what you're finding, 00:10:30.949 --> 00:10:36.270 and now we are ready to go on to strategy number two.
