3 Advanced Search Techniques for Writing In-Depth Articles
For business people and professionals, writing an in-depth article is a great way to be seen as an authority on your subject. But how do you go about finding new and important information?
Instead of the same top ten search results, there is a better way to get more relevant data. When I was a kid and had to do a report for class, I was always amazed how so many of the students came up with the same basic information. Years later, I realized it was because our parents had all bought us the same encyclopedias. The same goes today. Most people will just do a basic Google search and look for links on the first page. Unfortuna...

What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - a first thought
I have been promoting NICE Evidence Search much more systematically this year to " my " first year undergraduates in their first library session. It is also on the resource lists I ' ve made for each of their courses. I like the idea that there is one source, where all the results have been evaluated by health information professionals, and I ' ve suggested it ' s a good first place to search for any health topic. But NICE Evidence Search is closing at the end of March 2022. So what to use instead?NICE Evidence Search has two lists of sources, one of sites where some of the content is...

Almost in the Wild: Student Search Behaviors When Librarians Aren't Looking
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on student information-seeking behaviors by comparing how upper-level students majoring in Social and Behavioral Sciences use these two categories of search tools. Student search behavior and the use of search features, facets in particular, are quantified for each tool. The authors explore with statistical analyses whether these practices aid or hinder students in their search for high quality information. Qualitative data from student interviews is selectively employed to aid in explaining the results. Key findings include the differential use of search features in ...

A comparison of patient, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) to a new, alternative clinical question framework for search skills, search results, and self-efficacy: a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion: When taught in an information literacy session, the new, alternative framework is as effective as PICO when assessing OT and PT students' searching skills. Librarian-led workshops using either question formulation framework led to an increase in information literacy self-efficacy post-instruction.

Theory matters: An example of deriving process indicators from log data to assess decision-making processes in web search tasks.
European Journal of Psychological Assessment, Vol 39(4), 2023, 271-279; doi:10.1027/1015-5759/a000776Following an extended perspective of evidence-centered design, this study provides a methodological exemplar of the theory-based construction of process indicators from log data. We investigated decision-making processes in web search as the target construct, assuming that individuals follow a heuristic search (focusing on search results vs. websites as a primary information source) and stopping rule (following a satisficing vs. sampling strategy). Drawing on these assumptions, we describe our reasoning for identifying the ...

The Influence of College Students' Core Self-evaluation on Job Search Outcomes: Chain Mediating Effect of Career Exploration and Career Adaptability
Curr Psychol. 2022 Feb 23:1-12. doi: 10.1007/s12144-022-02923-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study of college students' job search and influencing factors has been an important topic in college students' career development. The degree of satisfaction with the results of a college student's perceived job search directly affects the sustainability of his or her future career. Although the importance of core self-evaluation in the job search process has been confirmed by a large body of literature, very little literature has focused on the mechanism of action between core self-evaluation and job search outcomes.
