The subject specific database that I chose was Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition. The database that I chose, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition was the database that provided me with the most relevant results. I was able to narrow down my results in the Academic Search Premier by typing in my search string and choosing Boolean/phrase, full text, and scholarly journals. Also I was able to narrow down my results in Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition by typing in my search string and choosing Boolean/phrase, full text, and cover story. My first search string ended up working for me with no problems. I found four relevant articles on the Academic Search Premier, and I found one relevant article on Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition. All of my relevant articles that I found were only found in full text. My research questions have not changed since working with the databases. My biggest challenge in composing my research question would be deciding if the question will have enough detail to answer it. I think I would be able to overcome that challenge if I kept researching and finding all of the right evidence.
Hi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post on your subject-specific database search. Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition is an EBSCO product, so the database features are similar.
In regard to your research question, do you mean to say that you are trying to craft the question so that it will have the right keywords to conduct a successful database search?
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
Yes, I feel as though finding the right keywords will be the hardest part to get the successful database search that I would like to find.
