Whenever I teach a research methods course, I invite a librarian to conduct
a workshop to introduce students to literature searches using PsycINFO and
other data bases. Aside from the usual advice about Boolean combinations,
what suggestions do you offer to students who are trying to learn to
identify useful search terms and create effective searches in these data
bases?
I recently convinced my department to make a visit by a librarian (to introduce to use of these sorts of research resources) a compulsory part of *every* section of our methods course, which is required of all students. This resolves a long-standing problem we've had with teachers inviting such presentations on an ad hoc basis: some students never see it during their university career, and others see it two or three times in various courses. Now they will all see it once and only once.
