0:08So, in this video tutorial, I'm going to

0:10show you how to use Google Scholar as

0:12well as how to navigate the UNC Pemroke

0:15Library site. First, let's look at

0:18Google [clears throat] Scholar.

0:20If I type in Google Scholar

0:25and I click on this link

0:29and I come over here to this menu bar, I

0:31want to go to advanced search.

0:35Google Scholar essentially provides

0:37peer-reviewed research. So, I can type

0:39in the words mushrooms

0:44and treat

0:48and then I might use just depression

0:52here. But you can also type in a phrase

0:55and then I can click on

0:58the search bar and these articles come

1:02up on

1:04you know using mushrooms to treat

1:06depression. So if I click if I was to

1:08click on this link, I would get the full

1:11HTML document.

1:14Sometimes you'll have PDF files like

1:16here, right? Right. So here it is.

1:19Here's the article and I've downloaded

1:22it. This is a scholarly peer-reviewed

1:24article. So that's how you would use

1:27Google Scholar. It's very simple. You

1:29can get to the library homepage simply

1:31by typing UNCCTP library.

1:35I will click on Mary Livermore Library

1:38and then that brings me to the UNCCTP

1:40library homepage.

1:43So one thing you can do is you can use

1:46Primo which is basically will search

1:49everything that the UNCCTP library has

1:51access to books articles online sources

1:56etc databases. So again I'm going to use

1:59my my key terms and my boolean

2:00operators. I might use something like

2:02the term mushroom.

2:07Use my boolean operator and I'm going to

2:10write treat. And when I put this

2:13asterisk by treat, basically that's

2:16telling the

2:18search engine that I want any ending

2:21with the word treat in it. So treated,

2:24treatment, etc. And then I'm going to

2:26type in and depression.

2:31And then I'm going to click on search.

2:32You'll see that I'm finding an article

2:35here that says um can mushrooms treat

2:38depression? It seems so. You'll notice

2:40that this is the Indianapolis uh

2:42journal. It's not peer-reviewed. If it

2:44was peer-reviewed, it would say so. And

2:46we can read that online, right? So, if I

2:48click on

2:51read online, it pulls up this article.

2:54It tells you here that this is a trade

2:55journal. Trade journals are not

2:57typically peer-reviewed,

3:00but it still is an appropriate

3:02acceptable resource for you to use. So,

3:04here we have the article.

3:07You just don't want all trade journals.

3:10There's also a book here that's uh

3:13available online for you. So, if we were

3:15to click on this book,

3:18we were to click on this e central, it

3:21takes us to the book and then we can

3:23look at the table of contents here.

3:26title page, notes on contributors, modes

3:29of brain disorders and so forth.

3:33And I could click on, you know, whatever

3:37I wanted here, okay? Whatever chapter I

3:39wanted to read. I could also download

3:41the article if I wanted

3:44and I could read it online. You can also

3:46print out certain certain number of

3:48pages.

3:51Here's another book. You can also see

3:52that it's there's no online access, but

3:55again, you could look at it. It'll show

3:58you the chapters of the book so that you

4:00can kind of see what the chapters are.

4:05But what I also really love about

4:07UNCCTP's library is that if you scroll

4:09down on a book like this to the very

4:11bottom, you can see other books that are

4:14right beside this one on the shelf.

4:18Okay, so this would be one way. Another

4:22[clears throat] way that you could

4:25find information here would be to go to

4:27this research tab and to click on

4:30research guides.

4:34What UNCCTP has done is they have taken

4:37certain databases and group them under

4:40certain disciplines. So if I'm

4:43interested in psychology for instance

4:45and I'm looking at mushrooms and

4:47treatment of depression, I might click

4:48on psychology and counseling

4:51and then I might go over here to

4:52databases

4:55and already some of the databases come

4:57up like APA site collection. So I might

5:00click on that

5:03and then I would again type in my key

5:05terms like mushrooms

5:08and then I would type in treat

5:12and then I would type in depression

5:17and then I would click on search and so

5:19what comes up are again a list of

5:22resources that we could use here. Again

5:24you can see that this one is peer-

5:26reviewviewed. So if we were to click on

5:28this one for instance,

5:31we can see that we can get the full

5:33texts here at UNCCTP. We need to click

5:36on ProQuest Central.

5:38And then here we have this article. So

5:41what you'd want to do is you'd want to

5:42sort of preview the article to see if

5:44actually it is useful for you. These

5:47would be just a few of the ways in which

5:49you could find articles that would be

5:51useful for your research. Again, do

5:54remember to download an article. Do not

5:56click on the link and save it because it

5:59will not take you back to this page. It

6:02will take you back to the ProQuest

6:04homepage which is not what you want. If

6:07you have questions, please do feel free

6:09to contact me. I'm always happy to help

6:11you.
