Primary sources: 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.

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

Tertiary sources: Sources that  identify and locate primary and secondary sources; these include bibliographies, indexes, abstracts, encyclopedias, and other reference resources; available in multiple formats, ie. some are online, others only in print.

IMPORTANT:  Note that these categories are not mutually exclusive. A single item may be primary or secondary (or even tertiary) depending on your research topic and the use you make of that item.

2. Effective Research Skills

2.1. Start with topic analysis

• What is your topic, problem, central question?
• Refine and diagram your topic (who, what, why, when, where, and how?).
• Identify keywords, synonyms, contemporary ways of referring to your topic that are no longer current (e.g., Negro for African American); make a written list of these for convenient referral in keyword searching.

• Research is an iterative process and the best researchers learn as they go.
• What resources and research tools have you used? Which ones have been the most productive?
• What terms have/have not worked?
• What new terms/names have you encountered in your searches?  Add these to your terminology list.
• Consider using bibliographic management software like EndNote to develop, organize, annotate, and manipulate bibliographic citations and  facilitate the production of manuscripts and the publication process.  EndNote for History workshop guide.

In doing bibliographic or  library-based research, there are three key approaches to identifying information and materials on a subject or topic: known item; keyword; and subject heading.  All are based on the "bibliographic record" for the book, article, or other item.
 

3.1.  Known Item

Search on a known title or author, then use subject headings in the bibliographic record to expand your retrieval to related items.  And, of course, in addition, use footnotes and bibliographic references.
 

3.2. Keyword

In most library catalogs and databases, searches for your key words usually drawn from the following data fields:

• Books: title, series title, and/or subject heading words.
• Articles: article title, subject heading, abstract if available.

    Note:

• In some databases (ANTPAC included), you must use a single word, an exact phrase, or and between multiple words.

Example: empire and british
• In other databases (Melvyl included), the database automatically inserts an implicit and between multiple words and you do not have to type these.
• Example: empire british

If in doubt or you get a zero result, try both approaches.  Never take zero for an answer; try other strategies and approaches.

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 determined by the Library of Congress (LCSH).  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.

Searches for subject heading(s) assigned by the Library of Congress or descriptors assigned by the index/database producer use a "controlled vocabulary."  The best way to identify subject heading(s) for your topic is to do a keyword search first, then note and link from subject headings of the most promising items.

Note:

• A subject search in ANTPAC is an exact subject heading search.
• In some databases,  "subject" searches may provide the option of searching by topic keywords, subject heading words, or exact subject heading.  Read search screens and select options carefully.

Sample LC subject headings for topics related to the Origins of the British Empire:

• Great Britain -- Colonies -- History
• Imperialism -- History

also
• Court records -- Great Britain
• Court records -- Great Britain -- Bibliography
• Despotism -- History
• Economic history -- 16th century
• Economics -- England -- History
• England -- Social conditions -- 16th century
• Europe -- Economic conditions -- 16th century
• Great Britain -- Colonies -- Administration
• Great Britain -- Colonies -- Africa -- History
• Great Britain -- Colonies -- Africa, West
• Great Britain -- Colonies -- America -- History
• Great Britain -- Colonies -- America -- History -- Sources
• Great Britain -- Colonies -- Asia

3.4.1. 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.
        gender#   =    gender, genders, gendered, etc.
   But caution:
        empir*    =  empire and empires, BUT also empirical, empiricism, etc.
        rac#         =    race, racism, racist BUT also raccoon, racketeer, etc.

Using AND between terms will give you a smaller set of retrievals, while using OR will get you more retrievals. This is called "boolean logic."
For more information, see Boolean Searching: A Primer

3.4.3.  Limiting/Modifying Search Results:

• Date:      Limiting result sets by dates can be a good approach when you particularly want current materials or are focusing on primary sources for a particular time period.
• Language:  Limit by language(s) that you can read to refine search results.
• Location:    Limit by library location to identify materials in Reference, Special Collections, Media Center, etc.
• Other: Some databases also allow you to limit by: format, time period, etc.

The UCI Libraries Website provides an organized gateway for research across the disciplines.  Your familiarity with this resource will save you time and enhance your success in identifying research sources, services, and other useful information.  The sections on Online Research and the Subject Guides, created by the Research Librarians for each UCI academic program, are especially recommended.

History Subject Guide

A guide to key resources for research in History; includes catalogs, indexes, online journals, and selected primary sources.
Note: This guide is updated regularly; I encourage your suggestions via email for additional resources to include.
See attached Table of Contents

Guides (or guides to the literature as they're sometimes called) provide the researcher with a basic introduction to the literature of a discipline. 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.

The key guide for history is:

    The American Historical Association's Guide to Historical Literature. New York:
    Oxford, 1995. 2 vols. Ref. Z6201 .A55 1995

Considered by many to be the historian's bibliographic bible, this guide is one good place to begin researching any topic in any field of history. Hundreds of  historians from around the world have selected and comment on the best and most useful works in their fields--almost 27,000 annotated citations--to provide bibliographic guidance of from prehistory to the twentieth century.

History Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, and Handbooks (PDF)

The most comprehensive and current catalog to all holdings in the UCI Libraries.  Useful features include:

• Searching by collection: e.g., Entire; Government Information; Journals and Serials; Film and Video
• Limiting searches by: Language; Material Type; (Library) Location; Publisher; Year (of Publication).
• Direct submission of Recalls (when item is checked out)  and Interlibrary Loan* and Document Delivery Requests
• MY ANTPAC including:
• Preferred Searches - you can search the catalog in MY ANTPAC to save searches to a special file in your Patron Record. You can then request email alerts on "Preferred Searches." You can also request a hold on a title without having to retype your name and ID number.

6.2.  New (!) Melvyl Catalog and  California Digital Library (CDL)

6.2.1.
Melvyl®: UC System Catalog
Melvyl is a web-based gateway to the library holdings of the University of California Libraries and to those of the California Academy of Sciences, California Historical Society, California State Library, Center for Research Libraries, Graduate Theological Union, Hastings College of Law, and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.

The database contains over 23,000,000 records, including books, periodicals or journal titles, videos, maps, sound recordings and much more. Melvyl allows you to browse records, save and mail items to your email account, set up a profile and Workspace so that you can save records and searches across sessions, and have email Updates automatically sent to you.

The new Melvyl catalog was released by CDL to the UC University community and public at large in April 2003.   On August 1, 2003, "Legacy Melvyl" was retired and the new web-based version of Melvyl became the only  union, or combined, catalog of the UC libraries.

Introduction and guides to New Melvyl

Highly Recommended:  Establish your profile and "Workspace" in new Melvyl  in order to:

• Save and view searches so they are available to you after you log out of your session.
• Save and view items after you log out of your session.
• Use the Update Service, an automated process that will perform searches defined by you at chosen intervals. The emailed results contain records that have been added to the Melvyl system during the previous interval (see Practitioners Guide 16.)
• Customize certain display preferences and save them across sessions, including the format of search results and the number of records displayed per page.
• Set your Email address for use with Updates and Request, the interlibrary loan service.

CDL Collections & Services:

• Directory of CDL Licensed Content

• CDL Collections in History Available to UCI Irvine: Browse

Listing of links to resources by historical field, e.g., Asian  History, California History, Modern European History, etc.
• CDL Collections in History Available to UCI Irvine: Search Results

WorldCat is a"union catalog" databases for large groups of libraries that share cataloging information and access.   To be fully comprehensive in your research, you may wish to search this resource.

Note: Watch for UCI holdings statements and/or click on  (where available) to link to holdings in UC libraries.

WorldCat: The Onlince Computer Library Center (OCLC) union catalog for books and other materials in libraries worldwide.
An even larger bibliographic database than MELVYL, WorldCat includes citations for books, journals, manuscripts, maps, music scores, sound recordings, films, computer files, newspapers, slides, videotapes, etc., in a variety of languages, held in numerous libraries around the world. Coverage: 1000 A.D. - present.
 

7. Identifying and Locating Periodical Articles: Indexes and Abstracts

7.1. Selected Useful Resources

Tutorial:  Find Articles in Databases

• About databases
• Select a database
• Search for articles/other material
• Locate materials

Below are  selective listings of indexes most useful for history topics; depending on your topic, you may well need to consult other resources.

Note:

• Pay careful attention to the type and chronological scope of the database you are using as you select your search terms and evaluate your results.
• * indicates full-text resources or provides at least some articles full-text

7.2.1. Disciplinary: History

Historical Abstracts (HA)  1955-
The "world's leading historical bibliography" covers the history of the world from 1450 to the present (excluding North America).  Includes English-language journals (1,700+), some books, and dissertations; does not include book reviews as a document type.  Search Tips: See AHL above.

    Search Tips:

• Use Advanced Search
• Use Keyword Search to begin, then if desired:
• Limit by language
• Indicate Time Period: For example,  1950D. Click on magnifying glass icon to right of time period to browse options.
• Select document type: article
• Note subject headings (not LCSH, often quite general terms) and link to expand results if desired
• Note documentation
• Watch for  and links to full-text in JSTOR collection of online journals.
• Email results to yourself from Output Options  change to full format and note your search strategy in subject line
• Once you have a productive search strategy(s), consider establishing a Clio Alert Profile

CLIO Alert allows a researcher to set up a research profile and then e-mails the researcher when items matching his or her profile are added to the database of choice. The screens for setting up a new profile or modifying an existing one can be  reached via the link on the search screen. To ensure success with a profile, use search criteria that have proven effective for searches of the current database.

8. Primary Sources: Strategies and Selected Resources

In addition to the suggestions below, you may wish to consult:

    Systems and Serendipity: Identifying and Locating Primary Sources ~ A Guide to the UCI Libraries and Beyond (J. Ariel)
 

8.1. Books: Strategies to Identify Primary Sources in Library Collections

         Use or adapt these strategies in ANTPAC, MELVYL®, or WorldCat:

1. Adding the subheading sources to the end of relevant Library of Congress Subject Heading (or use in a keyword search) often retrieves autobiographies, personal narratives, diaries, interviews, and other documentary/primary materials.  Please note, however, that this strategy is by no means comprehensive; use other strategies to complement this.
2. Use document* with keyword search; may retrieve collections of documents, documentary histories, etc.
3. Limit to Year of Publication, e.g., after 1600 and before 1900.

• Early English Books Online (EBBO)

Citations from early English texts presented as digital images. Includes treatise, musical exercises, novels, prayer books, pamphlets, and proclamations; almanacs, calendars, and many other primary sources.  Use the Search function (searches citations, subject headings, notes, etc. but not full text) and/or explore the links from Featured Content.  You may download works in PDF format.
Coverage: 1475-1700
Note: EBBO is just a subset of the text available on microform, see 9.3. below English Books, 1475-1640 (Pollard and Redgrave)

• Gerritsen Collection, Women's History Online

Finding Aids:  Materials Located at Other Libraries
The UCI Microforms Collection includes a number of guides/indexes to collections and sources located in other libraries around the world.  In addition, many guides to microform collections are now available on the Web.  Such guides can  be particularly useful for long term projects (dissertations, etc.) as you may consult these guides, identify desired microform and request via Interlibrary Loan.

8.4. Selected Websites

Note: The following list  is just a sampling of what is now available on the Internet. You will want to search Google etc. (creatively but carefully) for other possibilities.  Needless to say, none of these sites are completely comprehensive.  Use a combination of those that seem promising for your topic.

Google (http://www.google.com/) can be an excellent internet search engine for finding resources, but even better:

Searchable web directories often are more useful because sites have been reviewed and selected by historians, librarians, and other experts.  Directories
include:

      The Best of the History Sites
      An "award-winning portal created for students, history educators, and general history enthusiasts...features links to K-12 history lesson plans, teacher guides, activities, games, quizzes, and more."

      The Librarians Index to the Internet
      Searchable guide to high quality, non-commercial internet resources evaluated and selected by librarians.

      Merlot: Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Teaching  (Center for Distributed Learning, California State University)
      "MERLOT is a free and open resource designed primarily for faculty and students of higher education. Links to online learning materials are collected here along with annotations such as peer reviews and assignments."  History was added to Merlot in 2000 and, listed under Humanities,  now includes 211 selected sites.  You may also search the Merlot site; for instance, a search on American History retrieves 44 materials.

      The Scout Report
      The Scout Report Archives are a searchable and browseable collection of over seven years' worth of critical annotations of Internet sites, mailing lists, and other online resources carefully selected by librarians and subject experts.

9. Bibliographic Organization and Management: Introduction to EndNote

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 and manage 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, thankfully, Historical Abstracts) 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, in the LL TEC, Room 228, and in the LL Multimedia Resource Center (MRC).  It is also available for purchase at educational discount in UCI Bookstore; : approx. $109.95 for students (with ID); $199.95 for faculty and staff; $99 to upgrade if you have an earlier version.  In addition, you can download a FREE full-featured 30-day trial version from the ISI/EndNote website: www.endnote.com/endemo.asp
