This guide is designed as an introduction to print and online resources critical for accessing materials in the UCI Libraries and beyond related to the topic of food, identity and society.  It is extremely selective, both in terms of the sources cited and the strategies recommended.  All reference and "finding" sources listed are available at UCI; however, a number of these point to materials located at libraries, both real and virtual, beyond the borders of UCI.

The guide covers the following areas:

1. Sources for Historical Research
2. Good Research Skills
3. Sources for Topic Analysis
• Guides to the Literature, Encyclopedias and Other Reference Works
• Library of Congress Subject Headings
4. Monographs and Other Materials: Library Catalogs
• ANTPAC (Anteaters Public Access Catalog)
• CDL MELVYL: UC Systemwide Catalog
• WorldCat
5. Articles: Periodical Indexing/Abstracting Services
• Web-based Indexes
• Print Indexes
6. Back to the Future: CDL Searchlight, a Multi-database Search Tool
7. Full-Text Journals on the Web
8. Specialized Internet Resources
9. Government Publications and Information
10. Selected Primary Sources and Special Collections and Archives
11. Creating and Managing Bibliographies: EndNote
12. Further Information and Assistance

Tertiary sources include bibliographies, indexes, abstracts, encyclopedias, and other reference resources.

Secondary sources are those that analyze, assess, or interpret a topic under investigation, typically utilizing primary sources to do so.

Primary sources (adapted from a definition on the Yale University Library Web site) are firsthand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under investigation.  The nature and value of a source cannot be determined without reference to the topic and questions it is meant to answer.  The same document, or other piece of evidence, may be a primary source in one investigation and secondary in another.  The search for primary sources does not, therefore, automatically include or exclude any format of research materials or type of records, documents, or publications. Primary sources typically can include archives and manuscript material, photographs, letters and diaries, scrapbooks, newspapers and clippings, government publications, oral histories, magazines, published books, printed ephemera, and video and audio recordings.

IMPORTANT:  Note that these categories are not mutually exclusive.

Start with topical analysis

• What is your topic?
• Diagram your topic (who, what, why, when, where, and how).
• Keywords, synonyms, contemporary ways of referring to your topic that are no longer current.

• Research is an iterative process and the best researchers learn as they go.
• What resources and research tools have you used?
• What terms have/have not worked?
• What new names/terms have you encountered in your searches?

• Start with a basic familiarity with the research tool you are using (online catalog, print index, internet)
• What is its topical and chronological coverage?
• How trustworthy is the information to which it provides access?
• Known item searches: titles and authors.
• Subject searches: terms generally from a standardized list like LCSH.
• Following subjects from a known item that you know is on target for your research is a good way of finding more of the same!
• Keyword searches: words that appear anywhere in descriptions of resources or resources themselves.
• Truncation:  Use trucation symbols (usually * and/or #) building on the root of a word to expand your retrieval

    Examples:
        histor*    =    history, historian, historical, historicism, etc.
        cook#    =     cook, cooking, cookery, etc.
        gender*    =    gender, genders, gendered, etc.
        rac*            =    race, racism, racist BUT also raccoon, racketeer, etc.
• Date searches: limiting result sets by dates can be a good approach when you are focusing on primary sources for a narrow time period.
• Combining search terms:

    AND between terms will give you a smaller set of retrievals
    OR will get you more retrievals.

Guides (or guides to the literature as they're sometimes called) provide the researcher with a basic introduction to the literature of a topic. Guides list important bibliographies, dictionaries, directories, encyclopedias, periodical indexes, manuscript and statistical finding aids, etc. They may be  a useful first step in beginning research, helpful both in acquainting the researcher with critical sources in the field and assisting in organization and evaluation of research strategies. In other words, guides offer a structured overview of an academic discipline.

Although there are many sources for beginning to think about your topic and the various terms that might be used to represent it in indexes, bibliographies, databases, and catalogs, the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) is a good place to start in tracking terms that are useful in your research.  LCSH is the basis for subject indexing of resources available in the ANTPAC (UCI) and MELVYL (UC-wide) library catalogs. Subject indexing terms can be a powerful search tool in many online catalogs and indexing databases, and  these same subject headings found in records for known items can lead serendipitously to other interesting resources.

A subject heading is a word or term that describes, often quite broadly, the contents of an information resource.  "Authorized" headings for U.S. libraries are generally those found in LCSH, a five-volume set with a bright red cover located in the Main Library's Reference Area (1st floor).  In addition to usage in catalog records for books, videotapes, and other library resources, many abstracting and indexing databases of articles use LCSH as the basis for their subject indexing.

Reminder: Subject headings, like all language and most everything in life (!), are socially and historically constructed; consider terminology for your topic broadly and deeply, e.g., African-Americans, Blacks, Negroes.

The following is a highly selective list of subject headings that might prove useful in looking for information resources related to food and society.

Tip: Finding the subheading terms "Sources" or "Archival resources" appended to any of the subject headings below on a record in an online catalog is an indication that the item you've found is substantially composed of primary source material.

ANTPAC: UCI LIBRARIES CATALOG

ANTPAC provides quick and efficient access to the holdings of the UCI Libraries.  ANTPAC should be your first stop for accessing books, periodicals, media, and other research materials.

ANTPAC is available via a Web interface in the UCI Libraries as well as from home or office.  You can access ANTPAC via the UCI Libraries website (http://www.lib.uci.edu/) or directly (http://antpac.lib.uci.edu/).

 ANTPAC offers the following unique features:

• Circulation status of material -- ANTPAC tells you whether a book is available (on the shelf), checked out (and date it's due back), or missing;
• Acquisitions status -- ANTPAC lets you know whether a book is under consideration for purchase, on order or in process.
• Serials information -- serials (journals, newspapers, magazines, etc.) are integrated into a single file with other types of material.
• Personal circulation data -- ANTPAC's allows you to keep track online of materials you have checked out of the Library. You will need to get a "PIN number" at the Loan Desk.
• Interlibrary Loan -- ANTPAC has a special feature that allows you to place a request electronically for materials not held at UCI.

• Information about holdings at other campuses;
• Indexes to periodical literature and periodical articles;
• "Gateway" to the internet.

If your ANTPAC search does not produce the desired results or you want to expand your retrieval of materials, you will want to search the holdings of other libraries, particularly other UC libraries. The California Digital Library (CDL) MELVYL® Catalog opens doors to worlds beyond UCI .

To research a topic, select Subject or Power search.  Subject searches require word(s) from authorized LC subject headings.  Power searches allow you to combine search types (including title words, subject, or exact subject) and, if desired, to limit your retrieval by library location, date, language, form, and/or date added to the database.

Save: Use the Save feature to create your own topic bibliography within a single database or across several databases.  Once you have saved the items for your bibliography, click on Saved Lists to view, print, mail or download.  Make sure you give your list a relevant subject, indicating topic and date.  You may also want to add an annotation for your list indicating which databases you covered.

Output options: You may mail, print, or download your search results.

Request: You may also request  materials identified in a MELVYL® search through via the Request option (as long as they are not currently available at UCI). Keep in mind, however, that Document Access and Delivery /Inter-Library Loan (DA&D) can occasionally be a slow process, best undertaken at the beginning of your research. The ten-week quarter makes few allowances for DA&D, although the increased use of FAX and other electronic delivery systems does at least make acquiring journal articles from afar faster and easier (though often for a fee).
 
 

WORLDCAT (WCAT)

Records from the worldwide OCLC Online Union Catalog for books, computer files, audiovisual materials, periodicals, maps, manuscripts, musical scores, etc., in a variety of languages.  (Also provides links to other databases of possible interest, e.g., ArticlesFirst, etc.)

*Note: One distinct advantage to this database is that it provides access at the chapter level to many collections.  Search with relevant keywords in the Notes field.

General access to periodical indexes and abstracts is provided through the UCI Libraries Website: Article Databases.  Here you will find an alphabetical listing of all indexes and abstracts available through CDL or licensed directly by the UCI Libraries.  In addition, you can check the CDL list of databases available for History.

The following is a selective listing of indexes most useful for food history topics.

Note: Pay attention to the type and chronological scope of the database you are using as you select your search terms.

PRINT INDEXES

Unfortunately, much of American history falls within time periods prior to the chronological coverage of most online newspaper and magazine indexing services, so you may need to use print indexes to assist in your search for resources on your topic for this course.

Print Indexes to Primary Sources

Especially as historians, you can never forget those indexes still available only in print form.  Especially for contemporary publications, the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature and the newspaper indexes cited can serve as great topical indexes to what was being written about the events and subjects you are researching at the time they were actually happening.

Magazines and Journals:

Alternative Press Index 1969-  Ref. AI3 .A4

International Index to Periodicals.  1907-1965/65 Ref. AI3 I58

Although the Internet provides access to information resources that are often of dubious quality or authority, for historians there are a growing number of sites worth visiting.  Among the most useful are collections of primary documents, visual resources, and listservs where you can chat with colleagues around the world.

Google (http://www.google.com/), if you haven't used it, is an excellent internet search engine for finding resources.

Try the URLs listed below for a sampling of interesting and perhaps informative Web sites relevant to food, identity, and society.

Definitely try these:

Food History
A directory listing of websites related to food history.

Resources for the Anthropological Study of Food Habits
A goldmine for bibliographical references related to food habits, ethnic food, etc.; well-maintained and current site.

And consider these:

Ethnic Dishes
Carnegie Mellon University Recipe Archive

Food and Eating: An Anthropological Perspective - By Robin Fox
Social Issues Research Centre, Oxford, UK

History Online: The History of Private Life: Food in America
Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History

Internet Links About American Ethnic Cooking
Mark H. Zanger, author of The American Ethnic Cookbook for Students

Tufts Nutrition Navigator
Tufts School of Nutrition Science and Policy

The U.S. Government produces a mind-boggling amount of information including FDA publications and others related to food, nutrition and culture. The following are just a few tertiary resources that might be of use.

If you want to use government information in your research, it would be a good idea, near the beginning of the quarter, to e-mail Kay Collins (kcollins@uci.edu), U.S. Government Information Librarian, regarding available information resources. You can also limit your search retrieval sets in ANTPAC to items located in "MAIN-Govt Pubs" by using the "Limit/Sort" button.

• Catalog of United States Government Publications.

• Anatomy of a Springroll. created by Paul Kwan, Arnold Iger, Paul Lundahl ; written and directed by Paul Kwan and Arnold Iger.  New York, N.Y. : Filmakers Library, [1992] MRC F869.S39 V53 1992

Paul Kwan, a Vietnamese immigrant, tells his story of finding a new life in San Francisco while maintaining his cultural connection through cooking, eating and sharing the rich and varied food of his native land. But an undercurrent of longing for the motherland culminates in a visit to Saigon where memory and reality are finally reconciled, and he is ready to return to his adoptive country.
• Animal Appetites. Directed by Michael Cho.  San Francisco, CA : CrossCurrent Media : Distributed by NAATA, c1991. MRC  E184.K45 A556 1991.

Animal appetites is a wry look at the 1989 Long Beach trial of two Cambodian immigrants charged with killing a dog for food. With over 99 million cattle and 5.7 billion chickens consumed per year in the US, this humorous video poses the question, "Why all the fuss over one dog?" The story follows their trial on animal cruelty charges and examines the law prohibiting consumption of pets, passed as a result of the case.
• Autumn moon. Directed by Clara Law ; screenplay and editing by Fong Ling Ching ; produced by Clara Law & Fong Ling Ching. New York : First Run Features, 1992.  MRC PN1997 .A988 1992.

Clara Law's Autumn Moon is set in contemporary Hong Kong, where a young Japanese tourist is bargain-shopping and looking for food, sex, or preferably both. He meets a fifteen-year-old waif and the friendship that develops allows the young man's passion for food to be assuaged by the girl's grandmother, the wielder of a magic wok. But sex is a different matter than friendship-- which is what this film is really about.
• Eating. Written and directed by Henry Jaglom ; produced by Judith Wolinsky.  Hollywood, Calif. : Paramount, c1992. MRC PN1995.9 C55 .E223 1992.

As women at a trendy Southern California birthday party talk about food, what they say reveals what they think about life, love, men and each other.

The story of kimchi, a Korean dish.
• Pins and Noodles. Written, produced & directed by Arnold Iger & Paul Kwan. New York, NY : Filmakers Library, c1998.  MRC R601 .P567 1998.

Follows filmmaker Paul Kwan's quest to recover from a painful skin rash and later, a debilitating stroke, using both Western and traditional Chinese medicine; the latter includes acupuncture and foods and herbs used in Chinese culture for healing. The program is a lens through which to observe the healing power of food while affirming the importance of knowing the benefits of one's culture and perpetuating it.

EndNote is a bibliographic management software program used to develop, organize and manipulate bibliographic citations and facilitate the production of bibliographies and the publication process.  EndNote allows the user to create a "library" to store, manage and annotate citations, similar to a set of index cards but with much more organizational power and flexibility.

Additionally, EndNote allows the user to export citations from many (but not yet all) catalogs and databases (including ANTPAC; MELVYL; America: History and Life, etc.) directly into your "library" bibliography and from your "library" into a word processor.  You can thus produce a bibliography or manuscript automatically incorporating citations in a variety of publication styles (e.g., Chicago, APA, or journal-specific).

EndNote has recently been installed in open-access library computer labs including Science Library Interactive Learning Center (ILC) Room 164 and Main Library TEC, Room 228 (open in the evenings).  It is also available for purchase at the UCI Computer Store: approx. $109.95 for students (with ID).  In addition, you can download a FREE full-featured 30-day trial version from the ISI/EndNote website: http://www.endnote.com/endemo.asp

Workshop Options:   You may attend one of the upcoming general Library EndNote Workshops:
        November 5::     10:00-12:00, Science Library ILC 164
        December 3:       12:00-2:00, Science Library ILC 164

"Participants in this course will learn the basics of Endnote by building a bibliographic database, by entering references manually, and by capturing citations from several databases. More advanced features such as producing bibliographies and creating manuscripts with properly formatted references also will be covered."
