- Click on the name of the database you want to search.
- Enter your topic in either the Basic or Advanced Search boxes.

How to tackle a research problem
- Clarify your research question.
- What are you trying to find?
- What is the purpose of your research?
- Outline your information seeking strategies.
- Where will you begin?
- What type of information resource will best suit your research needs?
- Locate your research materials from the web or Library resources.
Where does the SSC Library fit within your research universe?
Salem State College Library greatly expands our students’ access to information and efficient use of information by:
- Providing access to thousands of scholarly books and journals on a wide range of subjects.
- Providing unlimited access to sophisticated, fee-based databases for journal articles and specialized types of information.
- Facilitating access to online resources to students researching from off-campus.
- Enabling students to borrow materials from hundreds of thousands of academic and public libraries through the Interlibrary Loan service and reciprocal borrowing agreements.
- Providing trained Library professionals and subject specialists to assist you with navigating both the web and Library resources.
- Teaching students information literacy skills in special course-related instruction sessions.
- Providing a special place for research, writing, and reflection in our new Library at Central Campus and satellite study areas in the Ellison Campus Center at North Campus and the Student Lounge of the Academic Building on South Campus.
Where is the SSC Library?
- The Physical Library, with books, seats, computers, and staff, is located off the Mezzanine above the cafeteria at Central Campus. The building has two floors.
- The Virtual Library, which consists of all of our electronic databases and e-books, exists anywhere that is accessible with a computer.
How do students find out what materials and services the SSC Library offers?
- The Library web page (http://www.salemstate.edu/library) is the basic navigating point for Library resources.
- The page has four components: “Research, ” “Services,” “Help,” and “Library.” Where does one begin?
- To find books, click on the “SSC Library Catalogs” link. Next, select “NOBLE Library Catalog.” This lets you search for books among the holdings of Salem State and some 40 public and academic libraries that belong to the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE).
- Search by author, title, or key word. Limit your search to holdings of Salem State College or any other desired library.
- Try the “Request” and “Save to My List” buttons to see what else you can do with the Catalog!
- To find articles from magazines, newspapers, and journals, click on the “Databases” link.
- This brings up five options: “Off-Campus Databases/Periodicals;” “Periodicals and E-books Directory;” “Database Quick Links;” “Databases by Name;” and “Databases by Subject.”
- “Off-Campus Databases/Periodicals” describes how to get into databases from off-campus. Basically, you simply select a database, and you will be prompted for your SSC email user name and email password.
- “Periodicals and E-books Directory” is essentially a telephone directory of all periodicals and e-books contained in all of the databases. Begin here when you know the title of a periodical or e-book and want to see a) if the Library owns it; and b) which system(s) contain it. Direct links to the journal within various systems are provided.
- “Database Quick Links” provides short-cuts to oft-used databases.
- “Databases by Name” is an alphabetical listing of all databases. Note: this is different from the “Periodicals Directory,” which lists specific periodicals and e-books contained within databases.
- “Databases by Subject” is a list of databases by broad topic areas. It also includes free databases from the Internet.
How do SSC Library resources differ from those in Google?
- Library resources come from traditional publishing channels. While this may include news and popular sources, it also includes very high level scholarly sources.
- While many scholarly sources are beginning to appear on the web, for instance, through Open Source collections, most are still accessible through subscription databases the Library provides. This means that students should supplement web searches with library resources.
- The Library provides access to very costly databases and periodical titles typically found in business or scientific environments.
- For instance, while users may find resources like Hoovers and ValueLine on the web, they would be required to pay substantial amounts of money to use them.
- Since databases found in library resources are built with different coding from Google, they require different search approaches.
- For instance, most databases require the use of connecting terms like “and” between concepts.
- Google is easier to search than most Library databases, and offers a superior search interface.
- Google enhances Library resources and expands research quests.
- Google Scholar, for instance, can be used to identify scholarly articles from JSTOR. Since our Library subscribes to JSTOR, students can automatically link to articles while on campus.
- Librarians use Google to get correct terminology about topics and ideas on where to go for information.
- Not all information students need is answered by finding a book or periodical article. There is incredibly valuable information on government, business, scientific, and education web sites.
What are best ways to search Google?
- Google’s Advanced Search features and shortcuts enable users to make searches more efficient.
What about other search engines?
How does one evaluate web pages?
- Key points to consider when deciding the reliability of a web page are:
- Can you replicate claims of the web site on other sites?
- If you don’t know a lot about the subject you’re investigating and have questions about the accuracy of a site, can you find a professor who might be able to help you?
- Is the language neutral, and not slanted? Can you determine who authored or sponsored the web page?
- Can you determine if the site was sponsored by an educational agency or organization? (urls would end in .edu or .org)
- Is the web site up-to-date?
- Is the web site well-maintained - do all links work?
- What other sites link to this site? (Use the Google “link” command to determine this).
- Is the information documented and footnoted?
- For more information, go to the UC Berkeley’s “Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply and The Questions to Ask.” http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html
What is plagiarism?
- Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words or ideas as your own, without giving credit with a footnote, endnote, etc.
- Avoid plagiarism by using footnotes, in-text citations, and endnotes to sources that provided you with the information.
- Even if you paraphrase (put something in your own words), you must give credit to ideas of others.
- If something is generally known, for example, 9/11 was a terrorist attack on the U.S. - you don’t need to footnote it. However, if you mention that some feel that the attacks were actually carried out by the U.S. and Israel, you would definitely need a footnote reference.
- Plagiarism.org provides more details. http://www.plagiarism.org/
What are Style Guides and why should I care?
- Style Guides are books and web sites that show you how to cite ideas and also how to put together a bibliography or list of works cited.
- There are many guides, but the most common are: APA (American Psychological Association); MLA (Modern Language Association); and Chicago Manual of Style.
- These guides are published in book form. The OWL site at Purdue University also prints excerpts from them. Many Composition textbooks also print excerpts.
- The EBSCO system can format citations for you at the “Print” level. This system includes Business Source Premier!!
Some web sites that automatically* creates a “Works Cited” list are:
* Note: some “clean up” of records is often necessary with these utilities.
