Using EBSCOhost as a database for
research
![Page 2: Ebsc Ohost Power Point](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a648bd8b42ad62d8b4671/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
EBSCOhost is a series of 22 databases for magazines, journals, and other current
research. It provides information on topics such as education, health and
business.

Find it on our library home page under BadgerLink.

When you open BadgerLink, you will find six different databases, each offering something different for your research, plus nine general
sources.

When you open EBSCOhost, these are just a few of your choices. Choose the
web version!
![Page 7: Ebsc Ohost Power Point](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a648bd8b42ad62d8b4671/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Click the databases you want to search. You can search as many or as few at a time as you want. Choosing many databases sometimes slows down the search.

Choose advanced search.

The advanced search feature is shown here combining a search for water quality and manufacturing.

In the next screen you will see how you can change the pull-down menus to direct what EXACTLY you want to search.
This is the advanced search method. It lets YOU control exactly what you
want to search.

Pull-down menus for all searching.

The first red arrow shows how many hits we got when we searched for this term. The second one shows that we marked “full text” so that we don’t get just the name (citation) of an article or the summary (abstract) of the article. We want the whole thing.
![Page 13: Ebsc Ohost Power Point](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a648bd8b42ad62d8b4671/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A full-text file identified.

Opening the article gives you the title, author, the source (name of the magazine) and the length of the article. It will also give you other ideas for search terms under the Subject terms. The abstract is a summary of the article.
![Page 15: Ebsc Ohost Power Point](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558a648bd8b42ad62d8b4671/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EBSCOhost lets you print the article. But you can also
email it to yourself, email it to a friend,
cite the article, export it to a bibliographic
manager, and add it to a folder.

You can decide which format you want to use. Do you need APA, AMA, or MLA? Find out from your instructor
what format they require ahead of
time.

This is what that article might look like in APA style. Note the persistent link to get back to the article for further information.

Using the links provided by EBSCOhost brings you to a cite where you can find out how to cite
your source, whether it is a picture, a sound bite, an interview or a government document.

Know the difference between an abstract and the full text of the article. In some journals,
the abstract can be 2-3 pages long.
