CO-OP Demo Plan
Nabil Hussain - library CO - OP
Time of Demo:
1) How to look up and take out books In the Library
2) How to Access/Use Online Data Base
Rationale
2) I have chosen how to access/use the online data base because this is something Liberians have to demonstrate to classes. Teachers want Librarians to show there class how to use the online data Base because there are so many online sources that may not be credible, and using these data bases is a good place for students to find credible information to use in their assignments. Online data bases are also good because it gives a variety of information on their topic they search.
Steps on How to look up on the Online catalogue.
2) Go to Byod Peel login - Cick Resources Tab
3) On the right hand Side there is a big red buton that says Library Catalogue

Basic Search Techniques:
1) Use Key Words Related To Your Topic
2 Use synonyms (Alternative words that mean the same thing)
-3) “Phrases in Quotation marks”
- Requires words to be searched as a phrase, in the
exact order you type them.
4) Boolean Search Term
- OR: (BROADENS the search)
- Ie: Ear OR nose OR throat
- The more words connected by OR, the more documents
you get.
5 ) AND: (NARROWS your search)
- The more words you enter connected by AND, the
fewer documents you get
- “global warming” AND “sea level rise” AND
California
6) NOT (Narrows your search by excluding material)
- This is useful when you want to find results related to only one of two commonly related terms.
7) Search Techniques: Truncation Symbols
-Use truncation symbols to retrieve all variants of
a word stem.
- For example: a search for educat* will retrieve:
educate, educating, education, educational,
educator, educators, etc.
- This will broden your search
