Sources/CRAAP Test
FINDING INTERNET RESOURCES:CRITICALLY ANALYZING WEB SOURCES USING THE CRAAP TEST Currency
Timeliness of the information Relevance/Coverage
Depth and importance of the information Authority
Source of the information Accuracy
Reliability of the information Purpose/Objectivity
Possible bias present in the information
WEB RESEARCH VS. LIBRARY DATABASES
Internet Material from numerous
sources, individuals, government, etc.
Search engines must work with material prepared without regard for specific software
Quality of material varies Generally do not access
for-profit information Content often
anonymous and undated
Databases Usually created by a single
publisher Content pre-arranged for
easy searching Quality-controlled by
editorial staff Most are available only to
subscribers Sources are usually
identified and dated Databases often focus on
a specific subject or discipline, but some cover several areas
USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: OVERVIEW OF DATABASES
What is the basic definition of a library database? A library database is an electronic (online) catalog or index Library databases contain information about published items Library databases are searchable The library subscribes to many databases so the ONU
community has access to these resources. When you’re searching a database, you are not searching “the web.”
What types of items are indexed by library databases? Articles in Journals/Magazines/Newspapers Reference Information (i.e. entries from Encyclopedias,
Dictionaries, etc.) Books & other documents

Databases by Subject
USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: POPULAR VS. SCHOLARLY PERIODICALS
Popular = Magazine Scholarly = Journal
Magazines are periodicals that contain more popular content. They tend to have glossy pages, lots of pictures, and can be read and understood by the general public. They contain shorter articles written by a staff of journalists.
Journals are periodicals that contain scholarly and peer-reviewed articles, written by scholars and researchers, that are aimed at professionals in the field. The articles are longer and have extensive bibliographies at the ends of the articles.
USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: FULL TEXT ARTICLES
USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: FIND IT @ ONU
Find It @ ONU takes you from a database where you don’t have full text access to a database where you do have full text access
USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: SEARCH DISCOVERY LAYER
What it is: A discovery layer sits on top of the majority of the
library resources and allows users to access most of the information available on one topic with one search
Think of it as the roof on a house What it isn’t:
An index to ALL database content. While all EBSCO databases areincluded, ProQuest databases, among a few others, are not included in SEARCH.
A “Googlization” of library resources, although it may seem like it at first.
USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: SEARCH DISCOVERY LAYER
What it includes: POLAR Article-level searching for all EBSCO databases Article-level searching for a variety of other
databases: JSTOR, Hoover’s, AccessPharmacy, etc.
Title-level searching for most other databases: IEEE, CIAO, Proquest Nursing & Allied Health

USE DATABASES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES: FACETS: LIMIT YOUR RESULTS
EVALUATE WHAT YOU FIND:REVIEW YOU FINDINGS To make it easier to review the articles that you have found,
create a My EBSCOhost account to use across all EBSCO databases, including SEARCH.
1. Add to folder directly from the results list
2. Add to folder from an item’s detailed view screen
EVALUATE WHAT YOU FIND: ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
An annotated bibliography is a list of sources that includes a summary and/or evaluation of the source
What an annotated bibliography does: Allows you to see what is out there Helps you narrow your topic and discard any
irrelevant materials Aids in developing the thesis Makes you a better scholar
CITE WHAT YOU FIND:ONLINE AND PRINT ASSISTANCE
Refer to the “Writing & Research Guides” and “Citations” tabs for tips and resources.
