Updates the premier textbook for students and librarians needing to
know the landscape of current databases and how to search them.
Librarians need to know of existing databases, and they must be
able to teach search capabilities and strategies to library users.
This practical guide introduces librarians to a broad spectrum of
fee-based and freely available databases and explains how to teach
them. The updated 6th edition of this well-regarded text covers new
databases on the market as well as updates to older databases. It
also explains underlying information structures and demonstrates
how to search most effectively. It introduces readers to several
recent changes, such as the move away from metadata-based indexing
to full text indexing by vendors covering newspaper content.
Business databases receive greater emphasis. As in the previous
edition, this book takes a real-world approach, covering topics
from basic and advanced search tools to online subject databases.
Each chapter includes a thorough discussion, a recap, concrete
examples, exercises, and points to consider, making it an ideal
text for courses in database searching as well as a trustworthy
professional resource. Helps librarians and students understand the
latest developments in library databases Looks not only at textual
databases but also numerical, image, video, and social media
resources Includes changes and trends in database functionality
since the 5th edition
