Master

In this course we will practice scholarly search in some of the most common databases for human geography-related research.

This course is intended to help Master's students to practice complex search tasks with the use of multiple databases and catalogues in combination with the internet.

In this course we will practices "deep drilling" with using "related search" functionality and citation searches. This is very useful if you have found some interesting and want to find more of the same. We will also use some techniques for "wide radar scanning" to try to discover if someone else have written about the same as you before.

On this workshop we will perform the most common search task that Master's students face during their writing process. We will learn how to discover former research on the topic, other disciplines take on the problem, quality assessment of articles etc.

You will learn about the library services for master students. How to find your way through the jungle of information, in time for the exam.
