Bibliographic databases
At some stage you will want to find out what has been published on a
particular topic. Library catalogue and e-journal pages tell you what journals
we have, eg Aging and Mental Health
But, not who has published what in those journals, eg Ho’s article ‘A peer
counselling program for the elderly with depression living in the community in
2007.
Bibliographic (or abstracting and indexing (A&I)) databases are designed to
do this. They:
•
•
Contain information about the contents of a range of publications
(abstracts, journal articles, book chapters, reports and standards).
Often subject specific.
Perform sophisticated searches with strong search functions
N.B.
Bibliographic databases provide references/citations for material and
often abstracts or summaries as well but only link out to full-text
Databases for Reviewing the Literature
AMED, ASSIA, Sociological Abstracts, Social Services Abstracts
CINAHL Plus
– Information on articles from thousands of nursing journals.
PsycINFO
– references to articles from thousands of psychology and related
journals, conference proceedings, etc.
MEDLINE
– National Library of Medicine’s database of articles from thousands
of medicine and related journals and other academic literature.
Where to find (out about) databases
A-Z list and lists by subject
http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/databases-subjects
Searcher – the default tab
Library catalogue plus databases etc.
Good for finding academic literature for essays and reports.
Default limit set to what you can read now.
Reading the Full-text
• Try any links which seem as if they will give you full-text.
• Treat like a normal reference and use the library catalogue
Because we may have what you want:
• online from a different site
• In print
Inter-Library Loan (ILL) for material we don’t have at all
What information do you need?
Think what you need to read about and identify the major subjects areas.
• Think of words and phrases associated with these major subjects.
Including:
• acronyms, synonyms and alternative spellings.
• formal and informal terms (myocardial infarction and heart attack)
• broader and also more specific terms
