III. **__Style Guide__**

On the Lancer Library site at [], scroll down to the bottom and you will find //The Sir Wil Style Guide// as well as other information on annotated bibliographies.

(This document may be found on SWL BiHi>Virtual School> Curriculum>Library>Library Res) **__ Gale’s //Infotrac// Databases __** Gale’s //Infotrac// databases are linked to the library’s on-line resources page ( [] >**On-line Resources**). Enter “**trillium**” as your password. These instructions refer specifically to //Infotrac// Power Search but similar principles apply to many other databases. This example illustrates a search on Olympics. 1) Search the “**Entire document**” rather than subject or keyword if you want to maximize the quantity of your results.  2) Limit your results “**to documents with full text**” so you can actually access the article. 3) Limit the **publication date** to ensure that the results meet the criteria for your assignment.  4) Use advanced search options to narrow your search and eliminate irrelevant results using “**not**”. Remember to **search the entire document** to maximize the number of results.

5) Make a conscious choice of the search type. Search “**Entire Document**” to catch all references to your search terms. Choose “**Keyword**” or “**Subject**” to narrow your search to articles with more direct relevance. Try a variety of combinations of keywords.

6) Check the tabs above your result list. Note that there are very few results for “Books” in this list but a huge number of results if the “News” tab was clicked. By narrowing your search to “Peer Reviewed” you will only search academic journals. 7) Scan the results list for articles with title that sound appropriate. If you find many irrelevant results consider re-doing the search and excluding (using “not”) a term that is common to many of the irrelevant results. Note that the citation indicates the source of the article and its length. Save time; an article can be skipped if it is too short or too long or comes from a publication from outside your field of interest. 8) Consider creating a “**Search Alert**” to notify you when new results for a good search become available. **__ Name: ___** Annotated Bibliography : Overall Assessment  Poetry 3U English  || Knowledge and Understanding
