) "Harvard University" in white text on a black background, Veritas crest This week's study break: Sunday 8-9pm, Cabot Dining Hall Pad Thai will be served :) Study Space of the Week: ** The Widener Stacks Reading Room ------------------------------------------------------------ Students writing at desks in long room. Previously hidden away deep in the Widener stacks, the West Stacks Reading Room is now easily accessible through a door on the right side of the Rotunda by the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Room (up the stairs from the main entrance)! This large reading room is a great space for quiet study, and includes desks, outlets, comfortable chairs, and a good deal of natural light. Quick Tips: Evaluating Sources using Citations Is the source you have reliable? Does it exemplify good research? Does including it add to your argument or detract from it? One way to try to determine this is to look up how many times your source has been cited by other papers. You can do this through Google Scholar (
http://harvard.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…
) or Web of Science (
http://harvard.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…
) —each of these sites will tell you how many times a source has been cited by another work since its first publication. If something was published in 2014 and has 100 citations at this point, it’s probably pretty significant. If it was published in the 1980s, however, and only has a handful of citations, you might want to look again at the quality of the argument and the research process presented. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... you can often find good sources by looking through course syllabi in your field? If a resource appears in a syllabus, there's a good chance that it's important. Professors have hand-selected various documents, books, films, etc. to teach their classes and these sources are likely to be significant and good exemplars of the viewpoints they espouse. Just make sure to look at when the syllabus was made, and try to rely on recent syllabi when possible.

Come enjoy warm cookies :) Study Space of the Week: ** The Gutman Patio at Harvard Graduate School of Education ------------------------------------------------------------ Students sitting on a wooden patio Located on the fourth floor of the HGSE Library, the patio is furnished with comfy wooden chairs, a picnic bench, and shade umbrella, and looks out over the city of Cambridge. Quick Tips: Using Newspaper Sources When consulting newspapers as sources, especially historical sources, it can be hard to know what types of newspapers to look at and what vocabulary to use as search terms. Here are some things to consider: * Sometimes newspapers will be in online databases, other times on microform. * Think about in what type of newspaper you’d find the articles you need. Consider consulting newspapers aimed at different racial, ethnic, or religious groups, as well as city, state, and international newspapers. * Remember that terms often change over time. Use keywords that would have actually been used in the time period you’re interested in. For example, World War I would have been known as “The Great War” during its time, not as “World War Two.” Do You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... the difference between microfilm and microfiche? Microfilm is a copied version of an original source on a spool of film, similar to a camera film. You can view microfilm at various viewing stations throughout the libraries (including in the basement of Lamont Library). If you're curious about microfilm, check out this online exhibition! (

) Microfiche, like microfilm, is a copied version of an original source, but instead of being rolled on a spool, it's on a flat, film-like card. You may also view microfiche on the viewing stations in Lamont and other libraries.

) "Harvard University" in white text on a black background, Veritas crest This week's study break: Thursday 8-9pm, Adams Dining Hall Study Space of the Week: ** The Baker Library at Harvard Business School ------------------------------------------------------------ Well-light room with desks and blue chairs If you have time, consider going across the river to the plush Business School campus. Here, the Baker Library offers an elegant mix of historic architecture and modern amenities, including large skylights, comfortable couches, and seminar rooms for group work. Quick Tips: Finding Diverse Viewpoints and Sources Sometimes it might seem hard to incorporate diverse viewpoints in your research, especially if many of the writers you are exposed to in the classroom come from historically privileged and overrepresented groups. Luckily, many professional organizations are trying to counteract that, and have created diverse syllabi for students and teachers. For example, the American Philosophical Association has dozens of syllabi (
http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…
) corresponding to traditionally underrepresented voices and fields. Consider searching "diversity syllabus" alongside the professional organization of your field, in order to find syllabi that include a fuller array of voices. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that the sources you use for a given project don’t have to be limited to books and articles? The library has a whole host of unique source types that you can incorporate into your work. Examples of these diverse source formats include things like diaries found in our special collections, plant specimens found in our Botany Libraries (
http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…
) , 3-D slides in the Fine Arts Library (
http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…
) , old maps at the Harvard Map Collection (
http://harvard.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…
) , and much, much more. Try searching for different “formats” in an advanced search in HOLLIS+, checking out the special collection libraries, or talking with a research librarian to find these hidden gems. Opportunities: Apply for S. T. Lee Innovation Grants (

Book cover with photograph of bustling food court In this sociology book geared towards a wider audience, Elijah Anderson puts forward the concept of a "cosmopolitan canopy," where diverse groups of people, from across racial and generational lines, gather and mingle in an urban setting. In his detailed descriptions of Philadelphia, Anderson shows how these spaces can both subvert and reinforce existing boundaries in society. Have a work you would like to recommend to your peers?

The library's reading room is a bright, open space with chairs and large tables on the first floor immediately as you walk into the library. Quick Tips: Using the “Related Articles” Feature in Databases Need to find relevant articles for your project with little time to really search everywhere? Check out the “related articles” function found both in HOLLIS+ and some other databases. In HOLLIS+, if you are looking at the citation information for an article, there is a tab immediately next to “Details” that says, “Related Articles.” Clicking on it will show you a list of articles related to the one you’re currently looking at. Additionally, some journals and databases will offer related or similar article lists as you are searching through their own sources. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that you can use full-text vs. index searching to your advantage? Full-text searches search the entire text for the terms you enter into the search bar. Google Scholar, Google Books, and JSTOR are examples of full-text search databases. Index searching, on the other hand, searches through citation information—for example, a work's author, subject or title. HOLLIS+ and most other databases search in this manner. Full text searches are great for searching specific phrases, people, or events that you want to appear in a document. Index searches will get you a variety of sources on a given subject and can help narrow sources down by year of publication or author. Opportunities: Apply for S. T. Lee Innovation Grants (

) "Harvard University" in white text on a black background, Veritas crest This week's study break: Thursday 8-9pm, Lowell Dining Hall Study Space of the Week: ** The Tozzer Reading Room ------------------------------------------------------------ Well-light room with desks and couches The Tozzer Anthropology Library is located on Divinity Avenue, among many of the science buildings and labs. The library's reading room is a bright, open space with chairs and large tables on the first floor immediately as you walk into the library. Quick Tips: Using the “Related Articles” Feature in Databases Need to find relevant articles for your project with little time to really search everywhere? Check out the “related articles” function found both in HOLLIS+ and some other databases. In HOLLIS+, if you are looking at the citation information for an article, there is a tab immediately next to “Details” that says, “Related Articles.” Clicking on it will show you a list of articles related to the one you’re currently looking at. Additionally, some journals and databases will offer related or similar article lists as you are searching through their own sources. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that you can use full-text vs. index searching to your advantage? Full-text searches search the entire text for the terms you enter into the search bar. Google Scholar, Google Books, and JSTOR are examples of full-text search databases. Index searching, on the other hand, searches through citation information—for example, a work's author, subject or title. HOLLIS+ and most other databases search in this manner. Full text searches are great for searching specific phrases, people, or events that you want to appear in a document. Index searches will get you a variety of sources on a given subject, can help narrow sources down by year of publication or author. Opportunities: Apply for S. T. Lee Innovation Grants (
