Each is assigned a unique <strong><span>call number</span> </strong> based on its subject matter and other characteristics. Items on the same subject will often be grouped together.</p> <p>Each call number consists of several elements. For example, consider:</p> <blockquote><strong>TK <br /> 7881.6 <br /> M29 <br /> 1993</strong></blockquote> <p>The FIRST line, <strong>TK</strong>, is based on the broad subject of the book. Within Class T for technology,<strong> </strong>TK represents electrical engineering.</p> <p>The SECOND line, <strong>7881.6</strong>, defines the subject matter more finely. <em>When looking for the book, read this as a whole number with a decimal component</em>. In this example, TK7881.6 represents magnetic recording (a subdivision of TK&mdash; electrical engineering).</p> <p>The THIRD line, <strong>M29</strong>, usually indicates author, but may also represent a further subject subdivision, geographic area, etc. There may also be a fourth line, formatted the same way. <em>When looking for the book, read the numeric component as if it were preceded by a decimal point.</em> In the example above, the numeric part of M29 should be read as ".29" (and the call number TK7881.6 <strong>M29</strong> comes before TK7881.6 <strong>M4</strong>).</p> <p>The YEAR of publication, such as <strong>1993</strong>, may also be present. These file in chronological order and often indicate successive editions of a book. The call number may also have additional elements, such as volume numbers.</p> <p><em>In using a call number to locate a book on the shelf, consider each element in turn before moving on to the next segment.</em></p> <p>These call numbers are arranged as they should appear on the shelves. In each case, the element shown in <strong>boldface</strong> distinguishes the number from the preceding one:</p> <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td width="80" align="left">Q <br /> 76<br /> K26</td> <td width="80" align="left"><strong>QA</strong> <br /> 17 <br /> F75</td> <td width="80" align="left">QA <br /> <strong>17.1</strong> <br /> C98</td> <td width="80" align="left"><strong>TK</strong> <br /> 3 <br /> Z37</td> <td width="80" align="left">TK <br /> <strong>29</strong> <br /> M49</td> <td width="80" align="left">TK <br /> 29 <br /> <strong>M5</strong> <br /> 1997</td> <td width="80" align="left">TK <br /> 29 <br /> M5 <br /> <strong>2007</strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> jdorner@library.berkeley.edu (Jennifer Dorner) Sun, 22 Jul 2012 11:55:57 -0700 http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B-279 OskiCat Searching Tips <ul> <li style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;">Search for author's name using the author search: <em>Auster, Paul</em></li> <li>Search for topics using a keyword search: <em>labyrinth and borges</em></li> <li style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Use an asterisk as a wildcard:&nbsp;<em style="outline: 0px; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">author*</em><span style="outline: 0px; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">&nbsp;finds authority, authorship, etc.</span></span></li> <li style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;">Limit results by language (<strong>Modify search</strong>)</li> <li style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;">You can browse topics using the <strong>Subject</strong> links.&nbsp;<span style="color: #4d4d4d;">To find secondary literature on a particular author, look for "criticism and interpretation" subject links such as these:</span> <ul> <li style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;"><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;"><a href="http://oskicat.berkeley.edu/search%7ES1?/dauster+paul+1947+criticism+and+interpretation%7C" target="_blank">Auster, Paul, 1947- -- Criticism and interpretation.</a></strong></li> <li style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;"><strong style="outline: 0px; color: #202020; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;"><strong style="outline: 0px; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><strong style="color: #202020; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;"><a href="http://oskicat.berkeley.edu/search%7ES1?/dborges+jorge+luis+1899+1986+criticism+and+interpretation%7C" target="_blank">Borges, Jorge Luis, 1899-1986 -- Criticism and interpretation.</a></strong></strong></strong></li> </ul> </li> </ul> jdorner@library.berkeley.edu (Jennifer Dorner) Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:33:12 -0700 http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B-4739 What is Peer Review? <p>Your instructor may want you to use "peer reviewed" articles as sources for your paper. Or you may be asked to find <img style="float: right; margin: 2px;" src="../../photos/photos/original/student_thinking_yellow.jpg?1301262466student_thinking_yellow.jpg" alt="picture of thinking student" width="124" height="150" />"academic," "scholarly," or "refereed" articles. What do these terms mean?</p> <p>Let's start with the terms <em>academic</em> and <em>s</em><em>cholarly</em>, which are synonyms. An academic or scholarly<strong> journal</strong> is one intended for a specialized or expert audience. Journals like this exist in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Examples include <em>Nature</em>,<em> Journal of Sociology</em>, and <em>Journal of American Studies</em>. Scholarly/academic journals exist to help scholars communicate their latest research and ideas to each other; they are written "by experts for experts."</p> <p>Most scholarly/academic journals are <strong>peer reviewed</strong>; another synonym for peer reviewed is <strong>refereed</strong>. Before an article is published in a peer-reviewed journal, it's evaluated for quality and significance by several specialists in the same field, who are "peers" of the author. The article may go through several revisions before it finally reaches publication.</p> <p>Magazines like <em>Time</em> or <em>Scientific American</em>, newspapers, (most) books, government documents, and websites are <strong>not</strong> peer-reviewed, though they may be thoroughly edited and fact-checked. Articles in scholarly journals (in printed format or online) usually <strong>ARE</strong> peer-reviewed.</p> <p>How can you tell if an article is both scholarly and peer-reviewed?</p> jdorner@library.berkeley.edu (Jennifer Dorner) Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:50:05 -0700 http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B-2513 Be critical <div> <p>Doing good <strong>research</strong> requires different skills than <strong>searching</strong>.&nbsp;Searching online encourages ways of thinking that can create false expectations and poor research results.

The campus issues a guide to understanding plagiarism, which states:</p> <blockquote>"Plagiarism means using another's work without giving credit. You must put others' words in quotation marks and cite your source(s). Citation must also be given when using others' ideas, even when those ideas are paraphrased into your own words."</blockquote> <p>Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic and student conduct rules and is punishable with a failing grade and possibly more severe action.</p> <p><strong>In order to avoid plagiarism, you must give credit when</strong></p> <ul> <li>You use another person's ideas, opinions, or theories. </li> <li>You use facts, statistics, graphics, drawings, music, etc., or any other type of information that does not comprise common knowledge.</li> <li>You use quotations from another person's spoken or written word. </li> <li>You paraphrase another person's spoken or written word.</li> </ul> <p align="center"><img src="https://www.indiana.edu/%7Eistd/graph1.gif" alt="Citation workflow diagram" /></p> <p>This content is part of the <a href="https://www.indiana.edu/~tedfrick/plagiarism/" target="_blank">Understanding Plagiarism tutorial</a> created by the Indiana University School of Education.</p> jdorner@library.berkeley.edu (Jennifer Dorner) Sat, 25 Jan 2014 17:05:38 -0800 http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guide/706-ENGLISHR1B-4742
