Session: Wednesday 9th July PM (14.15 - 15.30)

Title: Using Specialist Bibliographies, Abstracting and Indexing Databases

Convenor:

Mr Rob Newman (ProQuest)

Abstract Details

Using examples from ProQuest’s abstracting and indexing databases in the social sciences such as Sociological Abstracts and IBSS, this session will provide guidance on how such bibliographic tools can be useful and help save time in your research, whether you are doing simple keyword searches or want to construct more complex search strategies. The session will show how specialist A&I databases differ from and add value compared to discovery services and Google Scholar; when you would use them in your research; how they work and how to get the best out of them.
