Getting started
0Who has a library barcode?
0 If you don’t have a barcode (or you don’t have it with you) place your Pace ID in the basket as it goes around

Tips for using Search Plus (Encore) to search the catalog
0 Use the tags on the right to narrow your search
0 When you find a book that looks helpful, look at the Subjects for similar books
0 If you need books that are immediately available to you, click on “Birnbaum Stacks” on the left0 Note E-book options as well
0 Use Request It button to have books sent to NYC from other Pace campuses
0 While you’re browsing, you can click on the “Add to List” link to keep track of items you were interested in 0 Use the “My List” button at the top right to access your list. You can e-mail the list to yourself.
0 Use the ConnectNY button to find resources from other universities 0 Note: you need your library barcode to request books from ConnectNY
0 Note: Encore will also give you results from a few databases, but it’s hard to narrow them down using this interface

Understanding Subject Headings
0 Subject headings are:0 Controlled vocabulary: carefully selected list of words and
phrases, which are used to tag units of information (document or work) so that they may be more easily retrieved by a search (Wikipedia)
0 Assigned by a human indexer
0 Can be broad or narrow
0 Entry terms lead to the exact subject heading
0There are many kinds of subject headings:0 Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/
0 Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/
0 Database specific subject headings

Crafting your search strategy 0 Step 1: Write your basic topic question
0 Step 2: Pull out the main ideas from your topic
0 Eg: Topic:
Human trafficking in relation to the global economy and the financial crisis
Main ideas:
Human Trafficking Economy Financial crisis
![Page 11: Eng 201 richie 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55938bc41a28ab066b8b475a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Crafting your search strategy0 Step 3: Brainstorm synonyms for your main ideas
0Note: your search is not static. Try different search terms and different combinations of search terms and compare the results
Concept A Concept B Concept C
“Human trafficking” Economy “Financial crisis”
“Forced labor” Business “Economic crisis”
Slavery “Economic aspects” Recession
![Page 12: Eng 201 richie 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55938bc41a28ab066b8b475a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Crafting your search strategy
0 Step 4: Combine your search terms with Boolean operators
Eg:
(“human trafficking” OR “forced labor” OR slavery) AND(econom* OR business) AND (“financial crisis” OR“economic crisis” OR recession)
• *: retrieves all alternate endings, eg. economy,
economic
• Place phrases in quotation marks
• Use parentheses to separate OR terms
