Online Searching puts aspiring librarians on the fast track to
becoming expert searchers who unite users with trusted sources of
information that satisfy their information needs. To unite users
with such sources, master this seven-step online searching process:
1. Determining what the user really wants in the reference
interview 2. Identifying sources that are likely to produce
relevant information for the user's query 3. Determining whether
the user seeks a known item or subject 4. Dividing the query into
big ideas and combining them logically 5. Representing the query as
input to the search system 6. Conducting the search and responding
strategically 7. Displaying retrievals, assessing them, and
responding tactically This second edition addresses the
implications of new technical advances that affect expert
intermediary searchers such as the library's "everything" search,
the choice between classic and discovery OPACs, and the role of
digital object identifiers (DOIs) and Open Researcher and
Contributor IDs (ORCIDs) in known-item searching. It also advises
expert searchers about how today's hot-button issues such as social
media, fake news, and truth in the post-truth area figure into the
searches they conduct for others and what they teach library users
about online searching. Online Searching contains numerous figures
and sample searches to illustrate complex concepts, questions and
answers to reinforce key ideas, a sample database to show how
online searching works, a technical reading to familiarize yourself
with new search systems and databases, and a glossary to facilitate
quick look-ups. The e-book features enhanced video content. Online
Searching is your go-to guidebook for becoming an expert searcher.
