    Study Notes

    Role of the Catalogue

    • The catalogue helps identify and locate specific books, periodicals, and theses identified during bibliographic research.
    • The catalogue facilitates finding additional bibliographic leads.
      • This can be achieved through searching using natural language or free language.
      • Keyword searches using terms established by the library (documentary language) can also be utilized.

    Finding Further References

    • Several sources of information can be used to find further references.
    • It is important to note the debates mentioned and the authors cited within the body of the text.

    Types of Documents

    • Primary documents: Original research or creative works by the author (e.g., books, articles, theses).
    • Secondary documents: Descriptive or analytical resources used to locate and understand primary documents (e.g., library catalogs, bibliographies, databases).
    • Tertiary documents: Compilations summarizing knowledge or providing concise explanations of terms, authors, or topics (e.g., encyclopedias, dictionaries, directories).

    Reference Tools

    • Dictionaries: Used to clarify meaning, compare and contrast words; general dictionaries cover language, synonyms, antonyms, and etymology; specialized dictionaries focus on a specific subject or information type.
    • Encyclopedias: Reliable starting points for research on a subject; provide context, broaden or narrow a topic, and identify relevant keywords; often alphabetical with cross-referencing and bibliographies.
    • Bibliographies and Databases: General or specialized lists of publications allowing searches by keywords and data analysis.
    • Library Catalogues: Descriptive lists of library resources, including books, periodicals, theses, reports, etc.; most are computerized and accessible online. The call number is used to locate documents within the library
