wspapers.  These databases are available on CD-ROM in the Library or online through the Library’s web pages.  The Library staff will show you how to search the databases if you are not familiar with them.  The full text of many of the journal articles or newspaper reports is also available online, and is linked directly to the indexing database, so that you can access them quickly to assess their relevance to your report or essay.  

A search through ‘Google’ or one of the other Web search engines will simply throw up a lot of information that may take you a long time to sort and, unless it is from an ‘official’ web site, the accuracy of much of the information available on the World Wide Web cannot be verified.  You should, therefore, search the Web only as a last resort.  The exception is ‘Google Scholar’, which reports only papers published in recognised journals.  

Sources of evidence may also include primary research such as the findings from interviews with key organisational personnel, surveys or information from records.  This will only be necessary if it is specified in the instructions for the assignment, or if it is identified as the appropriate methodology for gathering evidence for your dissertation.  


Systematic record-keeping: a working bibliography


It is vital that you keep a record of the material gathered through your preliminary research.  Do not wait until the writing-up stage or you may spend additional hours searching for these sources of英语论文网 【http://www.51lunwen.org】 information so that you can ensure that you have cited them accurately.  

The record that you keep should include a full citation for the source.  The correct approach to citations for different kinds of sources of information is provided in the University Library’s guide.  

It is useful to have a working bibliography kept on computer file or in a card index so that it can be added to or re-arranged easily.  The Library staff will show you how to use ‘Refworks’, an online tool in which you can keep your own personal lists of sources.

Record the following information:
· your own reference code;
· library reference number (if it is a book);
· publication details.

As a guide, the publication details should include:

Author’s name together with the initials
e.g. Jones, T. and Christie, M.

Date
e.g. 1996

Title of work
The title of a book is italicised when the entry is made in the references or bibliography in your coursework.  If the work is in a journal article, the title of the article is in normal text, and the title of the journal is italicised, e.g. Computers and Security.

If there is an edition number, it follows the title, e.g. The business student’s handbook. 3rd.

Place of publication
e.g. London

Name of publishers
e.g. W. Green / Sweet and Maxwell

When keeping records of Websites used in your research, in addition to the above information, also record the full URL (Web address) of the specific part of the site visited e.g. 本文来自:英语论文网 【http://www.51lunwen.org】
