Thank you so much for having me here to talk to you all today. I’m going to talk a little about how to master the information universe. There is A LOT of information out there and it is increasing literally by gigabytes every day- the task of finding one single bit of information in that mass can seem

a little overwhelming. So today I want to talk about some tips for dealing with all of this information and some ways that you can become a master of the information universe.

While I am going to spend some time talking a little later about library resources, we are not your mother’s library.

84% of searchers start their search for information with a search engine like Google, Yahoo or Bing. 1% start their search at a library website. And I know that. Librarians know that. But, if you are going to use a search engine,

For goodness sake, be a super searcher. I’m going to go over some tips to start which will help you to search more effectively. Now this first tip is something I added in at the last minute because I thought it was so important, I had to make sure everyone knew about it. So, the first secret to effective searching is-

CONTROL+F. The keyboard short cut control f or, alternatively, ‘edit -> find’ allows you to locate a word or phrase on a page. When you have a page with a lot of text, this can be a huge time saver. I can give the example of the Combined Charitable Contribution document that lists all of the possible organizations that you can donate to- when you are looking for a specific organization, hit CONTROL+F rather than looking through the whole document. Most people are familiar with this shortcut in a PDF but it works in all browsers and Microsoft word documents.

Next, I want to talk about the place where 84% of you start your searches. This is Google. And I’m using Google because it is still the most common search engine but most of these tips will work with both Bing and Yahoo. Google is very simple, very basic, everyone knows how to use it right?- Just type your words in and hit go. But there are ways to make it better from right within this little box.

We are going to start with my favorite. Entering your search terms and then ‘site:’ allows you to limit your search to a specific type of site- in this example, we are looking for the word ‘training’ on a website that ends in .gov. This is important because we know that .gov sites are, for the most part, going to be ‘good’ sites. You can also limit to any other kind of ending- .edu, .org, .net or a specific site- site:osu.edu, site:ohio.gov

The next way to limit your search is by file type. In this example, we are looking for the word training but we want to find a PowerPoint file. Again, this also works for .doc, .xls, .pdf and other file extensions. This is a great way to find something that you may have already found once and are looking for again.

In this next example, I am looking for the word ‘trainers’ but I don’t want to find physical trainers. So you can either place the minus sign or the word NOT before the words that you don’t want to appear in the results. This came in very handy one day- I was trying to answer the question ‘What causes rain’ and kept getting results about the causes of acid rain. By placing the minus sign before acid to remove that word from the results, I found a result that answered the question.

This example is showcasing two of my favorite tricks- ‘Quotations’ and a wonderful little three letter word- ‘AND’. AND is a very powerful word. In this case, AND is going to make sure that your result has both the exact phrase ‘training presentations’ and the exact phrase ‘research skills’. This is important because normally if you were to just search training presentations research skills, it would find those four words anywhere in any combination on your result. What I want are the exact phrase training presentations and the exact phrase research skills. Quotes will tell the search engine to look for those words in that exact order on the page. Quotes are VERY helpful when searching for people.

The tricks that we have looked at up to this point limit your search results- they help you to avoid an overwhelming number of results. The next couple of tips we are going to look at will allow you to expand your results. The first way to expand your results is to use the word OR. So in this case, I want results that have either the word ‘icebreakers’ or the words “team builders”. This is helpful when you are searching for something that people use different words to mean the same thing.

Similarly, you can use the tilde (~) to tell the search engine to look for synonyms. Now in this case, Google is looking for words that it defines as synonyms- if you want to define the synonyms, I would use the OR operator. However, the ~ is really useful if you are searching for information on a topic you don’t know a lot about or don’t know all of the synonyms someone could use. It is also helpful when there are several synonyms that someone could possibly use and you don’t want to type all of them in.

However, the + can be used for forcing a search on stop words (a, the, an, etc.) and for requiring Google to search for only that exact term without any possible plural/singular, synonyms, and grammatical variants.

The asterisk acts as a wild card- it tells Google to treat the star as a placeholder for any unknown term(s) and then find the best matches. Another use of this wildcard is for dates- in this example, you know something is dated September, 2011 but you can’t remember the day. One note is that the asterisk only represents full words- you can’t use it to substitute letters.

If you forget some of these tricks, I highly encourage you to use the ‘Advanced Search’ feature. This allows you to use many of the same shortcuts without remembering them. As you can see, you can search within a specific site or domain, find exact phrases, exclude words, and more.

If you forget or just want to know more about the way Google searches, I highly encourage you to check out the basic search help and the more search help pages. Just reading these entries can give you a better understanding of the way Google operates and allow you to find what you want faster.

And if you are a really big search dork, there are great blogs out there like this one called SearchReSearch which really goes into detail about learning to use Google effectively.

The other great feature to know about Google is called Google Scholar. And you will see as we go through this that Google Scholar is going to be the bridge between Google and the library. Google scholar allows you to search articles, patents, legal opinions and legal journals. You can search Google Scholar just like you search regular Google and there is even an ‘Advanced Scholar Search’ option. The other important thing I want to point out on this page is the ‘Scholar Preferences’ link which is located at the top right.

The important part of this page is Library Links page. Use the search box to add the State Library of Ohio and click ‘Find Library’. This means that when you search for an article or book, Google will check to see if we own it.

These are the results you see when you run a Google Scholar search. A couple of things to highlight first is that you can limit your search to a specific timeframe using the dropdown menu here and you can also create an email alert for a search. Clicking the ‘Library Search’ link takes to you a system called WorldCat which searches many libraries around the world including the state library of Ohio. You can request an item from here by selecting the ‘Request Item’ button or by emailing the book’s citation to the state library’s reference staff. Since we added the State Library of Ohio to our Library Links section in the preferences, we are going to see references to OLinks. Olinks is a service that the State Library of Ohio uses and if we click the link that says ‘Find it with OLinks’…

It will take us to the OLinks page- If you have any concerns or want to make sure you are on the right page, look down at the bottom. If the State Library of Ohio had physical copies of that journal or article, that information would be located here. To access the article, click the link that says ‘Full text of the article in the EJC’.

This is the Electronic Journal Center which is one of several journal and article resources that the State Library of Ohio subscribes to. One thing to note- I made that process look pretty seamless and if you are in the State Library or in most of the state agency buildings, it will work just like that. If you are at home or in some of the other state agency buildings, you will be asked to enter your library card number when you get to the previous screen.

Are there any of those searches that anyone wants to see live in Google or any question on using Google to find information more effectively? Great.

I do have one word of caution. Like I said, I like Google. I use Google all the time. But it is important to be aware of how Google works and the process it uses to deliver your search results. One of the great new books about this topic is Eli Pariser’s ‘The Filter Bubble’ which the state library has both in print and as an ebook. The “filter bubble” concept — you don’t choose what gets in your filter bubble and, more importantly, you don’t know what’s been edited out. It is a great book that really explores why and how Google does what it does. He has also given a TED talk on this subject which is available for viewing on the TED website if you don’t want to read the whole book.

So search engines are great. And I’m not going to try to change your mind. BUT when you are looking for information, I want you to be aware that there are other sources out there besides Google. Taking advantage of things like your personal network, iTunes U, and libraries and librarians can help you to find the information you are seeking.

Your network. This includes things like your coworkers or picking up the phone to call someone you met at a workshop but it also means reaching out to your contacts on LinkedIn, Facebook and even twitter.

However, if you want to go old school, there are several other methods for getting information including libraries and other individuals.

I want to start on the State Library of Ohio’s website and look at the state employee section. This page will give a brief description of who we are and what we do and on the left side of the page, it has links to all of our services. Some of the things I would like to highlight today are getting a library card, searching for books, our electronic resources and some of the other general services we offer.

First, what kind of librarian would I be, if I didn’t talk about the books- you can find books available through the state library from our website.

All you need is a library card- and library cards are available to all Ohio residents- there are just some additional levels of availability for state employees.

Once you have your library card, you need to be able to find books. On the library’s homepage you will see this very basic search box which will allow you to search two different catalogs- I would just leave this setting on the default ‘OhioLINK Central’. You can also search our website from this box, view your account information or get some search tips to help you find items. Under the ‘Search Tips’ page, you will also see a box which will provide you a way to search thousands of libraries around the world- if you can’t find what you are looking for, we can request items from other libraries for state employees when the item is for work purposes. The Advanced Search will allow to you make your OhioLINK search a little more specific.

In this example, we want to find ‘Management Across Cultures’ in the title. We can also limit by date, language, location or material type from this screen.

Once you have refined your results, you can click on a title you want to learn more about. There are a couple of things that I want to point out on the item’s page. First is of course the typical information you would expect to find- author, title, etc. Next, we have the “Get it in the Library” section. This section will tell you where it is located in our library, whether or not it is checked out and the call number should you wish to come to the library and find it yourself. However, you don’t have to. If you don’t want to come to the library or if the book is checked out, you can use the “request item” button to request the item and have the book delivered to your desk through inter-agency mail. Additionally, if you can’t find a title in our catalog, just let us know- we can look for it in another library.

This request button means that you have the combined wealth of the OSU, Kent State, Case, Toledo, John Carroll, Kenyon, Xavier, UC and Akron libraries at your disposal. These books can be delivered to your desk through interoffice mail and returned the same way.

You can also locate many of our great eBooks through our library catalog. When you click the ‘Connect to title online’ link, you will be taken out to the Ohio eBook Project’s website to either request or download the title. We are going to talk more about the Ohio eBook Project later but I wanted to point out that you may see links like this in our catalog of books.

Now, I’d like to talk to you about something that is- wait for it- better than Google. What’s that you say? Didn’t I just show you how to make Google super awesome? I did- but Google can only take you so far. Despite the massive amount of information available through Google, there is a significant amount of information that institutions like libraries subscribe to in order to make the information available to their users. The next couple of resources I want to talk about provide you access to accurate information from your desktop.

We are going to start by taking a look at EBSCO. EBSCO will provide you with access to full-text journal articles, images, reports, books and more. EBSCO is actually made up of several different collections, a couple of which are shown here. Some of these collections like Education Research Complete are very subject specific- in this case, dealing with education. Some are very general-for example, Academic Search Complete which provides access to more than 8,000 full text journals and periodicals.

You can choose to search some or all of these collections together by using the check boxes at the top of the page or next to the title of the collection, you can search just a single collection by clicking on the title of the collection or you can browse the list of journal titles contained within the collection. A brief description of the collection is provided but if you would like more information about what you can find there, click the more information link. Let’s pretend that we checked the select all box and hit continue.

Once we click continue, we are taken to the basic search screen. But, don’t let the “basic” fool you, there is a lot going on here. Starting at the top, we have a couple of important links on the right side of the page. The first is the sign-in link- once you have created an account, you can sign-in and all of your preferences will be saved and any articles you save in your folder will appear. Which brings us to the folder link. (CLICK HYPERLINK-SLIDE 44) And the other very important link at the top of the page is the “Help” link. In addition to this help link, you can also look for the “?” symbol anywhere in EBSCO to get assistance with this resource. Next we have the search box. This section shows you which collections you are searching and also gives you advanced search and search history options. But the words that you actually enter into the box are going to depend on the type of search you select in the next section- “Search Options”. The first category here, search modes, lets you select whether you want EBSCO to find all of your search terms (the default) or any of your search terms. You can also choose to use their natural language search call “SmartText” which will work like Google or Boolean searching where you use words like AND, OR and NOT to create your search. On the left side of the page here you can also limit your search to just articles where you can access the full text and just articles that have been peer reviewed. And on the right side of the page, you will see a few more options- here you can apply related words from the EBSCO thesaurus to your search, search within the full text of your article and limit your search by date. Once you have constructed your search, we can hit the search button to see our results.

This is your results page. And again, lots of things to point out here but we are going to break it down into smaller parts. Lets look at the center section first. This section represents your actual “results”. For each result, you will see the title of the article, bibliographic information for the article, icons to indicate whether it is available as a PDF or HTML, the collection (called database) it is from and its relevancy to your search. Right now the results are sorted by relevancy but you can change that by clicking “relevance sort”. You can also change the way your page is displayed by clicking the “page options” link. Unfortunately, you will not be able to access the full text of everything in EBSCO. We will get to how you limit things to only display results with full text in a minute but in cases like this first article (which is not available in full text) you can click the “find it” link to see if we have access to the print version of that journal. You also have the option on your results page to add an article to your folder for later viewing.

Next I want to take a closer look at the information on each of the sides of the results. On the left, you can narrow your search by date, full text availability, source, subject, and more. On the right side of the page, you can view images in EBSCO’s collection which relate to your search. You can minimize either or both of these panels using the small double arrows at the top of each box.

Once you click a title on your results list, you will arrive at a screen with even more information about the article including, in most cases, an abstract. There are also a couple of things I want to point out in this row of icons on the right side of the page. The print, email and save links are pretty obvious. The others will allow you to add the article to your folder, display citations of this article in different styles, allow you to export those citations into tools like RefWorks, create notes on the article which will be saved in your MyEBSCO folder, create a permanent link to the article and bookmark the article. And finally, there is the link to the full-text of the article. On the left side of the page, you will see links to the full text, the “Find It” link again and a link to find similar results in EBSCO’s collections. So clicking on the PDF full text link-

Brings up the article itself and as you can see- here is the article but there is also so much more. Again, you will see the citation, email and folder icons on the right side of the page. You can use the arrows framing the PDF to expand the viewing space of the article. Finally, along the left side you will see some additional important links. When you open the PDF initially, you will see links to the rest of the articles in the journal. Just below that, you can click the “Choose Another Issue” link to see other issues of that journal and the TOC for that new journal will be displayed in the Full Text Contents section. And since this is a normal PDF, you can also save and print this article.

Earlier I mentioned that you can browse the title list for a specific publication so let’s take a look at how to do that. First we will want to click on “Title List” link under the collection you want to browse.

On this screen, we will want to ignore the top search box and look at the lower search box. This search box searches for a publication title alphabetically, by the subject terms for that journal or by matching any word in either the title or subject. You can also jump to a letter of the alphabet using the links below the search box. For our example today, we are going to use the “match any word” selection and search “ adult education”. This will pull up any journal with the words adult and education in the title or subject description.

The results for this type of search will look like this. A couple of things to point out on this page. First, like the article result page, you will find icon indicating whether the text is available as a PDF or HTML. If you don’t see these icons, it means that the title is just an index and you will need to check somewhere else for the full text or just contact us. This section will also tell you how far back you can access both the index and the full text of the title. In this case, you can access both the index and the full text from 9/1/1996 to the present. Let’s click the title of the Adult Education Quarterly journal-

The journal page allows you to browse to a specific issue by selecting the date and then drilling down to the issue. You can also create a permanent link to this page and find out more information about the journal including the publisher information. Finally, you can create an alert for this publication either via email or RSS feed. If we click the ‘E-mail Alert’ link-

This window will pop up- this window allows you to do a couple of things. The first is that every time a new issue of this journal comes out, you can have the table of contents emailed to you (and/or anyone else you choose). The second thing is that if you use an RSS reader like Google Reader, you can use the RSS Feed link to read new articles from this journal like any other website RSS feed. You will see this symbol frequently throughout the EBSCO and the Electronic Journal Center Databases. Also, if you are not comfortable setting this up for yourself, there is a link on our website for state employees titled “Current Awareness Services” where you can sign-up to have our library staff develop these alerts for you.

Many of the collections available in EBSCO are only available to state employees. However, the State Library of Ohio does offer access to some EBSCO collections along with several other great collections through the Ohio Web Library. The Ohio Web Library is the result of a partnership between school and public libraries and the State Library of Ohio. To access EBSCO through the Ohio Web Library, go to www.ohioweblibraryl.org (I have business cards with that address up here) and select ‘Resources’.

On this screen, you can either select ‘All EBSCOhost Databases’ or select the individual collection you would like to search- for example ‘Academic Search Premier’.

There are a couple of other resources like EBSCO which are purchased for and restricted to state employees. There are also a couple of electronic resources that are available to anyone with a card from the State Library of Ohio. We are going to take a look at the electronic resources for state employees first and then look at the four that anyone can access.

How do you to access these resources? Since these are resources purchased by the library and are much higher quality than what you would find on Google, you need to have your library card. With your library card, just go to our website, select the resource you want to use and then enter your last name and the last nine digits of your library card number. Most of these resources can be accessed by logging into OhioLINK first, and then finding the resource you want to use. Some can be accessed directly from the State Library of Ohio Homepage. If you have any questions about accessing these resources, more information including detailed instructions and self-paced tutorials can be found on the library website. So let’s take a quick look at some of these resources.

First, I would like to talk about our general article resources. We have already talked about both EBSCO and the EJC but let’s see how to access them. From this page, we will want to select the D-E link under listed by name. As you can see there are lots of resources on this page, but EBSCO is up at the top and the Electronic Journal Center is way down here at the bottom- let’s click the EJC link.

The Electronic Journal Center which we talked about with Google Scholar is similar to EBSCO in that there are several different ways to find resources. First, you can search by article title, author name, key words or journal title by entering your search terms in the box and selecting your choice from the drop down menu. Second, you can find a journal by title and finally, you can find journals by subject. The collection of journals in the EJC isn’t quite as big as the collection in EBSCO but there are some titles that are only available in the EJC.

Then, state employees have access to some very subject specific resources. The first is HeinOnline which is a legal database allowing you to access a Law Journal Library, the Code of Federal Regulations, a Federal Register Library, Session Laws Library, Subject Compilation of State Laws, US Code, US Attorney General Opinions, US Federal Legislative History Library, US Presidential Library, US Statutes at Large, US Supreme Court Library and several other libraries. Basically, if you are looking for something pertaining to a federal legal matter, you want to look at Hein.

The State Library of Ohio also subscribes to ReferenceUSA. Reference USA is basically the phone book but much better. It contains, in module format, detailed information on more than 14 million US businesses, 205 million US residents, and 855,000 US health care providers. Companies are searchable by business name, executive title, business type, sales volume, employee size and year established. Individuals are searchable by name, phone number or address. A new feature of Reference USA is that you can draw custom maps denoting your results- so if you conducted a search for insurance companies within a 100 mile range of 43201 which had over 1 million dollars in sales last year you would get a list of your results but you could then take that list and develop a map of those results.

Ohio Capitol Connection is your source for all things related to Ohio’s Government. Here you will find access to current legislation, freshman biographies, budget information and documents from the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the Ohio Government.

The final resource limited to state employees is called the Ohio Newspaper Database or NewsBank. This will allow to you access articles from the Plain Dealer, Columbus Dispatch, The Blade. Canton Repository, Dayton Daily News, Youngstown Vindicator, and back issues of the Cincinnati Post until 2007. And, for a limited time only, you can access historical papers from Ohio including the entire run of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. [Plain Dealer (6/1/1991-current), Columbus Dispatch (7/16/1985-current), The Blade (1/1/1996-current). Canton Repository (10/1/1999-current), Dayton Daily News (1/1/1990-current), Youngstown Vindicator (12/13/2006-current), Cincinnati Post (4/1/1990-12/31/2007)]

All Ohio residents have access to the ProQuest Congressional Publications & ProQuest Statistical Insight resources. The Congressional Publications subscription allows you to simultaneously search U.S. Congressional Hearings, Committee Reports, and House and Senate documents dating to the early 1800’s. It also contains legislative histories 1969 to the present and maps 1789 to 1969. Additionally, back-files of The Hill, Roll Call, and the Washington Post are searchable from ProQuest. ProQuest Statistical Insight offers access to a wealth of statistics from state and federal government agencies, associations, non-profits and more.

Another way to keep up with your professional development is by utilizing the State Library of Ohio’s subscription to Learning Express library. is a collection of materials which has some content for school age kids BUT also has many valuable resources for adults including basic, intermediate and advanced computer classes, test preparation materials as well as workplace and career improvement resources.

Here are some examples of some of the computer classes offered through Learning Express Library including Adobe Flash and Photoshop and Microsoft SharePoint and Publisher.

And here are some of the skill building classes like public speaking and some of the professional certification classes- this is where you will find the Ohio Civil Service Exam prep materials.

A new resource which was just purchased in July 2011 is Mango Languages- Mango provides access to interactive language tutorials in a variety of languages including English as a Second Language courses.

I said that we were going to come back to the Ohio eBook Project and here we are. The Ohio eBook Project is a collaboration between the State Library of Ohio and several public libraries around the state which provides access to downloadable eBooks and eAudiobooks to anyone with a State Library of Ohio library card. The neat thing about the OEP- besides free ebooks is that since this is a collaboration with public libraries, there are lots of titles for state employees but there are also a wide variety of general fiction titles.

In addtion to all of these electronic resources, we also offer a couple of services for state employees. The first, is of course library training sessions like this one. These sessions consist of standardized workshops offered at the State Library and via webinar as well as sessions which can be customized to fit your agency’s information needs and conducted at your agency’s office. They are on a brief hiatus right now because this was one of my duties while I was on the library’s research services staff and until they fill my old position, we just don’t have the staff to continue them- but look for them to resume in the spring/summer next year!

The State Library of Ohio is also a partner of the Know It Now is a service. Know it Now is a program offered by Ohio libraries and allows you to chat with a librarian in Ohio 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can get answers to any of your questions here or just find the next book you want to read. Additionally, in February we began accepting questions via text message. To text us, simply text ‘statelib’ to 66746.

We produce two different newsletters. The first is the State Employee Newsletter- Published monthly, this newsletter contains interesting articles, new books at the State Library and other ways we can help you and your agencies. The second newsletter is our Government Document News. This newsletter is published quarterly and will keep you updated on the documents produced by the Federal and Ohio government agencies and how you can use them.

FINALLY- The State Library has several meeting rooms of various sizes and a training room provided free of charge for state employees on a first come first serve basis. And since the State Library is located just outside of downtown, we have free parking!

So- how can you master the information universe- by searching Google effectively, by using quality sources like Google Scholar, EBSCO and the Electronic Journal Center to find articles, and by using the library to find books and eBooks from libraries around the state, learn a new language, improve your computer skills or find authoritative legal information.

So remember, if you need some help,

don’t ask a magic 8 ball

ask a librarian- the email address on the screen now is the general address for our research services department- this will put you in contact with one of our fabulous reference librarians who are there to assist you if you can’t find what you are looking for- even though you are now all SUPERSEARCHERS!

I am also available if you have ANY questions at all about the things that I’ve talked about today.

I do have some image credits here- and

I’m happy to answer any questions you might have right now. And if you don’t have questions- we can play a fun game where someone suggests a topic and I’ll select a resource!
