Now we talk about Documenting Online Journals ,  in documenting online journals they have Model, simple & print and online. exampleThere are two types of online journals: those that are found exclusively on the web, and those that are available in both print and electronic form.  You are more likely to encounter the first situation.Look at this model.  Everything up to the volume number occurs exactly the same as if you were citing a journal article.  However, since the article is online, a “retrieval statement” is required.  Retrieval statements always begin with the word retrieved, offer the full name of the month, date, and year, with commas after the date and after the year, followed by “from” and the url.  Notice how the url is neither underlined nor blue.  In APA documentation and in text citation, underlines are not used.  To get rid of a hyperlink in MS Word, place your cursor after the last word in the url and hit the backspace key.  This should remove the hyperlink without deleting words.  If a url is long and needs to be divided between two lines, you can break it after a slash or before a period.  Finally, notice that no period appears at the end of an online entry that concludes with a url.  This is so that the wrong address is not accidentally entered into the web browser.Take a look at this example. Now, a quick look at the form for journals online and in print.  In these situations, you would treat the article as you would for a journal article, except  you would include the words “electronic version” in brackets, to indicate that you read and used the electronic form instead of the hardcopy. 
In addition, The Source Integration now we’ll begin looking at how sources are integrated into the body of your text.  There are three ways in which we use sources to provide evidence for our arguments.  They are quotations, paraphrases, and summaries. Quotations, paraphrases and summaries are
•provide support for claims or add credibility to yourwriting.•refer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing.•give examples of several points of view on a subject.
•call attention to a position that you wish to agree or disagree with.
•highlight a particularly striking phrase, sentence, or passage by quoting the original.
•distance yourself from the original by quoting it in order to cue readers that the words are not your own.
•expand the breadth or depth of your writing.

 After this ,we must know about Choosing Text to Integrate....choosing text to integrate is

1.Read the entire text, noting the key points and main ideas.
2.Summarize in your own words what the single main idea of the essay is.
3.Paraphrase important supporting points that come up in the essay.
4.Consider any words, phrases, or brief passages that you believe should be quoted directly.  
There is an easy 4-step process you can use to learn to summarize, paraphrase, and quote.First, get familiar with the text.  As you read it, mark the thesis of the chapter, and identify any main points. Main points are usually found in topic or summarizing sentences (generally one in each paragraph), or in sentences that answer questions posed by any headings in the text. After you have read to get an understanding of the text, close the book or set the article aside.  Now, in your own words, write a single sentence that summarizes the argument or purpose of the piece.  Once you have this main idea, write a sentence to summarize each of the major ideas of the piece.  Once you have done this,review the article to see that what you wrote is really the author’s point. Now find any important points – sentences or single paragraphs in particular – that are important to your argument in your own research.  After you read the passage and understand what you read, set the text aside and write what the major points were in your own words.  Once you have done this, review to see that you captured the spirit of the author’s idea without using his or her words. Finally, if you find something so important that the exact wording has to be discussed or examined in the paper, or when you find something that is so well written that you couldn’t say it any better, go ahead and mark these as passages to quote.  For example, any discussion of the ideas espoused in the Declaration of Independence nearlyalways requires the quote “all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights – and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”


for Summarizing....  we should put the main idea(s) into our own words, including only themain point(s) than the summarized ideas must be attributed to the original source.It also Summaries are significantly shorter than the original. After this the summaries also take a broad overview of source material. example this like what you do when you summarize,Now here are some summary characteristics Note that when you attribute to an original source, you must refer to at least the author and year in the signal phrase, which we will discuss shortly. In a summary, you are condensing multiple paragraphs or pages down to just a few sentences, or maybe a single paragraph. 

 Paraphrasing 
is involves putting a passage from source material into your own words.
•Attribute paraphrases to their original sources. 
•Paraphrases are usually shorter than, but may be the same length as the original passage
•Paraphrases take a more focused segment of the source and condense it slightly.

This is what you do when you paraphrase:Now here are some paraphrase characteristicsIn the summary, you took much larger segments of text that explained main concepts and core ideasand reduced them to a few sentences or a paragraph.  In a paraphrase, you take any segment of thetext, usually a single, more focused idea, and put it entirely into your own words.  It is notuncommon for a paraphrase to remain about the same length as the original idea, although again,the expression of the idea must be entirely in your own words. Remember, if you shrink aparaphrase too much, and you’ll be summarizing.If you use the author’s words, you’ll actually bequoting. Quoting is

•Quotations use a narrow segment of the source. •They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. •Use quotes when the actual words are so integral to the discussion that they cannot bereplaced. •Use quotes when the author’s words are so precisely and accurately stated that they cannot be paraphrased.

Signal Phrases and In-Text Citation

•Signal phrases introduce someone else’s work – they signal that the words and ideas thatare about to be offered belong to someone other than the author of the paper. 
•In-text citations are the parenthetical pieces of information that appear usually at the endof a quote, paraphrase, or summary (though they sometimes appear before).


Signal Phrases and In-Text Citation

example this likewe’ll take a look at the role signal phrases and in-text citation play in APA style.Remember, it’s your responsibility to cue the reader as to what is your knowledge and what are yourideas as opposed to someone else’s. Here’s a simple rule to follow,now let’s see how this works.
 
Signal Phrases and In-Text Citation (continued) 

*Limited signal, everything in citation. . . end of paraphrased sentence, in which you convey theauthor's ideas in your own words (Krepp, 1985, p. 103). " . . . end of quoted sentence" (Krepp, 1985, p. 103).
 *Author and year in signal, page in citation
 In 1985, Krepp reported that . . . (p. 103). Krepp (1985) tells us that . . . (p. 103).According to Krepp
(1985), ". . ." (p. 103).
 *Multiple Authors signaled (Alphabetical) studies (Jones, 1966; Krepp, 1985; Smith, 1973)have shown that . 
*No Author  ("Stocks Lose Again," 1991, p. B16). According to the news article “Stocks LoseAgain” (1991) … end paraphrase or “quote” (p. B16).
* No Page Number Provide other information in signal phrase


In this example, author, year, and page appear in the in-text, or parenthetical citation that comes
after the paraphrase or quote.  Notice that in parenthetical citations, each item is separated by acomma, and p. is used to indicate page.  Notice also that when using parenthetical citations with aquote, the quotation mark closes the quote before the parentheses, since the in-text citation is notpart of the actual words.  The period, however, goes at the end of everything, since it completes thethought: what was written, who wrote it, when was it written, and where is it written?In this example, author and year are provided in the signal phrase, while the page number isprovided in the in-text citation.  Remember that when the year is not part of the naturalgrammatical sentence structure, it must be put in parentheses.  Also, remember that the quote endsbefore the in-text citation, but the sentence always gets end punctuation after the in-text citation. 

 example for quote a text is You are not allowed to change anything in the quote without some identifying mark, usuallybrackets.  Changing even a few letters is considered a form of plagiarism by many people.Remember that you do not simply add in a quote (or a paraphrase or summary, for that matter)without creating a transition for your reader.  You need to use a signal phrase to show readers thatyou are moving from your own ideas into someone else’s.  Signal phrases also give you theopportunity to discuss how your argument is connected to the source you are integrating.  Sincesignal phrases are so important, let’s turn to them next.

Now this lesson about Truncation. Truncation is —using a wildcard at the end of a root word to search multiple variations of that root word. Check a database's help section to identify what symbol is used for a wildcard.The example: protect* OR conserv* OR regulat* would retrieve multiple spellings of these synonyms. Some databases may allow you to use truncation at the beginning of words or within words (this is called internal truncation). Consult the help files in the database to determine the availability of this feature.

Example of Truncation is expands the search to locate all words beginning with the same root. Example: teen* will return teen, teens, teenage, teenager, etc.)
  —wom?n will return woman, women, and womyn.
It will be happen when we used in the middle of a word to match usually known variants of a term.
In addition, Phrase Searching is —when you use a string of words (instead of a single word) to search with. Usually phrase searching will be happen —by using phrase searching  and you will be retrieve fewer results. For the database to understand your search, you should put your phrase between brackets ( ) or inverted commas ".Than you try type your search as follows:

Now I will tell you about Brainstorming for search terms 

• Library Subject Headings:

• Science Subject Headings:

• Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms:

This —boolean we can  research by allowing in you to group words together in an electronic database or environment such as the World Wide Web to receive a number of different types of results. Depending how you group these word, you will receive different results.Boolean operators also are words that connect a search that may add or subtract a concept to your search. Boolean search is the most common and basic search strategy.It allows you to expand (return more information or matches) a search by using OR or limit (return less information) a search by using the word AND. Most of the search engines on the World Wide Web allow you to use some form of boolean searching. Example: AND, OR and NOT

—  *By placing an OR between words it expands the search.  *When you use OR you receive more information because the search engine is looking for two words rather than just one word.


The example of OR,AND and NOT:





This fourth week, i have done learnt about online databases.

This week we learn library catalogues

—This lesson provides information and directions on how to use the online catalog of AIU Library. You can find out what books, audiovisuals, and periodicals can be found at a AIU Library by going to the online catalog.—AIU System Libraries use a Web-based called OPAC (online public access catalog). —It serves as the focal search point for the AIU Library contents.  Based on search criteria of author, subject or title, the retrieval or hit list screen will display attributes such as publisher, date of publication, call number and availability. for research OPAC in AIU, you just click the web-side http://www.italic.aiu.edu.my
