  • LOUIS Union Catalog and Web Searching


    LOUIS:
    You can find other athletic training and physical education resources in all academic libraries throughout the state by searching the LOUIS Union Catalog. Try the following search:
    athletic training and 2007

    Run this as a keyword search, exactly as typed. This will give you a list of all academic libraries in the state that have athletic training resources published in 2007. Likewise, you can simply change the year or change the phrase "athletic training" to "sports medicine" or "ligament injuries" to modify your search.


    GOOGLE:
    To search the web for athletic training resources, go to Google and type in the following search:

    "athletic training" site:.edu

    What you are telling the search engine here is that you wish to retrieve sites that have the phrase "athletic training" in them, and that you want all of these sites in the results list to have a domain name that ends in ".edu" (which is the domain name designation for educational institutions). By the same token, you could type "site:.org" to retrieve only sites that are from non-profit organizations and "site:.gov" to retrieve only United States government web sites. Additionally, you could run a search as follows:

    "sports medicine" site:.org

    You should always remember that the only thing a search engine can do is return hits based exactly on the terms you have typed, so vary your terms and be creative if you want to search under every rock.



    Databases


    To search Ellender Library's databases for articles pertaining to topics in athletic training, go to Library Databases, choose one of the databases suggested in the list below (or link directly to one of the databases by using the links provided in the list), and type in the following search:

    ligament injuries NOT  MCL, and click on the link for Full-Text

    What you are telling the database search engine here is that you wish to retrieve articles that have the phrase "ligament injuries" in them, but not the keyword "MCL," and that you want all of these results to be available in Full-Text (meaning you will be able to retrieve a scan of the article on your computer screen). By the same token, you could type as follows:
    ligament injuries  AND women
    to retrieve results that have both the phrase "ligament injuries" and the word "women" in them. Additionally, you could run a search as follows:

    ligament injuries  NOT MCL AND women

    You should always remember that the only thing a search interface can do is return hits based exactly on the terms you have typed, so vary your terms and be creative if you want to search under every rock.
