Hi guys. The purpose of this video is to
show you how to research using the
library's database. Specifically, in
accordance with your writing assignment,
we're going to be looking for Wall
Street Journal articles that are
related to any topic in business that
you're interested in. So to start, from
the Cerritos College home page, click the
search bar.
Put in library and you will go to the
library's home page,. You will be asked to
sign in. Use your student ID number and
your birth date to access the database.
Then you can go to "research databases"
over here.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom
where you will see "U.S. major dailies."
Choose the "advanced search " button or
link in the search bars. Put in the Wall
Street Journal or another approved
publication, which would be Forbes or
another business publication that you
okay with me I would encourage you to
use the Wall Street Journal because it
is a u.s. major daily. You may need to go
somewhere else if you'd like to use
another magazine and put in a company
that you're interested in or the name of
a CEO that you're interested in or a
topic I'm gonna use Tesla. I would limit
this to "full text" items and since we're
interested in recent publications, change
the publication date to be maybe the
last three months. You can put any other
filters that you would like to include.
Hit the "search" button and you'll come up
with a lot of different choices
based on your search criteria.   So if I'm
interested in Uber talking about a Tesla
executive I would choose this one.  I
think I'll just go up to the top and
choose the smart home tech that also
deals with Tesla. So you would click on
it.  I'm going to click on the full
text to bring the article up.  And you
could print it from here. You could print
it out right here by clicking the "print
button" or you can
email a copy of it to yourself and print
it for free in the lab. Make sure in the
writing assignment that you summarize
the article using your own words and
that you attach a copy of the article. We
went over the due dates in class. I
believe it's due at the start of the
second exam. That would be at 8:30 when
your class starts.  I don't take late
articles so if you walk in late to class
your article will not be accepted.  I hope
this helps you in your future research
endeavors. The library is a great
resource to have on hand. In addition, we
have some great librarians that would be
happy to give you an in-person
demonstration If you need it. Talk to you
later.
