LibGuides: Research Basics: an open academic research skills course: Welcome

You're pretty good at searching here and there, but there's a lot more to academic research. This is why we put together this free, self-guided course!

Because three is the magic number (look it up!), the course is made up of three modules of three short lessons and three sets of practice quizzes. Try it try it try it!

[embodiedfutures]

just wanted to remind everyone again not only of the 3,000+ resources offered through our Liberation Library but also of the study guides for beginners offered under each of our social justice topics!

resources can be organized by type (article, novel, podcast, video, etc.) as well as filtered and searched through. we’ve tried to make our system much more accessible than our former platform on google docs so this is such an exciting development to share with everyone.

please share to promote equitable access education!

[safety-pin-punk]

OKAY IVE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO CHECK IT OUT AND HOLY SHIT PLEASE EXPLORE THIS THING ITS SO FUCKING COOL

[embodiedfutures]

ahhh seeing reactions like these make me so happy, thank you so much!! y’all don’t understand, this all started as one random list in sophomore year of high school that i made to just help out a friend and then i shared it with my classmates and now… we’re here :)

to everyone, some gentle suggestions:

please keep sharing! <3

feel free to @bfpnola in the resources YOU find so we can keep this library going (or send in requests and we’ll do our best to find them or something similar). that #ref or #save tag you got? share your favs!

look into volunteering! we have SO MANY open leadership opportunities and if you don’t have the time for heavy responsibilities or don’t meet all the requirements for other positions, we literally have the General Volunteers who are equally important!

know that i am grateful and love all of you so much! i’ve been trying to send in asks to some of our new followers just to spread the love so if you see one in your inbox soon, mwah <3

[embodiedfutures]

In honor of some national March holidays that directly apply to our volunteers and supporters:

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month

Endometriosis Awareness Month

National Women’s History Month

PLEASE SHARE! And consider volunteering to help out with the Liberation Library’s upkeep. We’ve still got a lot of empty tables that need filling. The task is easy but a bit tedious, so the more the merrier!!

btw most universities to my knowledge keep their reading lists behind access barriers (ie. only students enrolled at the institution on the course in question can see them) so i thought i’d just let you all know that durham university has all of its reading lists available online for free without needing student access. do with this information what you will.

[familyabolisher]

the lists are downloadable btw - i haven’t gone through and checked every single one but the ones i’ve looked at seem to be at least

[metamatar-deactivated20250401]

MIT’s courseware is available using OpenCourse Ware, completely downloadable without registration and can be remixed under very permissive licenses. some courses have full videos of lectures, notes, slides and problem sets, others may have only have syllabi, reading lists and exams. before edx and coursera were the big names in for profit online education we had khan academy and ocw.

[emblematik]

these are unfortunately a little hit and miss when it comes to degree of organization and level of detail, so they all require a little patience and willingness to poke around:

I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post. 

So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.

do not fear! copy the link to the article

go to sci-hub.se         (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)

slap the article link in there

bam! free access!

DEAR RESEARCHERS OF TUMBLR

You know what’s awesome?  Research.  You know what’s not awesome?  Not being able to get access to research because it’s stuck behind a paywall and you don’t belong to an institution/your institution doesn’t subscribe to that particular journal.

FEAR NOT.

Here is a list of free, open access materials on a variety of subjects.  Feel free to add if you like!

GO FORTH AND LEARN SHIT, MY FRIENDS.

Directory of Open Access Journals- A compendium of over 9000 journals from 133 countries, multilingual and multidisciplinary.

Directory of Open Access Books- Like the above, but for ebooks.  Also multidisciplinary.

Ubiquity Press- Journals covering archaeology, comics scholarship, museum studies, psychology, history, international development, and more.  Also publishes open access ebooks on a wide variety of subjects.

Europeana-  Digital library about the history and culture of Europe.

Digital Public Library of America- American history, culture, economics, SO MUCH AMERICA.

Internet Archive- In addition to books, they have music and videos, too.  Free!  And legal!  They also have the Wayback Machine, which lets you see webpages as they looked at a particular time.

College and Research Libraries- Library science and information studies.  Because that’s what I do.

Library of Congress Digital Collections- American history and culture, historic newspapers, sound recordings, photographs, and a ton of other neat stuff.

LSE Digital Library- London history, women’s history.

Wiley Open Access- Science things!  Neurology, medicine, chemistry, ecology, engineering, food science, biology, psychology, veterinary medicine.

SpringerOpen-  Mainly STEM journals, looooong list.

Elsevier Open Access-  Elsevier’s kind of the devil but you might as well take advantage of this.  Mainly STEM, also a linguistics journal and a medical journal in Spanish.

[clonerightsagenda]

A few others!

PubMed for biomedical articles - some free full text.

ERIC for educational literature.

why you shouldn’t use jstor

(the title’s to get your attention - read on to see what i really mean).

It’s that time of year that I start getting asked for study tips and the like, and while I will reiterate yet again that I will not do your homework for you, I do really love talking about education and getting the chance to help people out where I can, so I wanted to make a post about something that I realized in class today that apparently a lot of people don’t know.

That something is this: JSTOR is not the be-all and end-all of research. (Neither is Project Muse, or Francis & Taylor, etc, etc.) (JSTOR is great.  I love JSTOR.  I want their t-shirt.  But I also know that they hold a bit of a monopoly in the part of our brains that remember things like “how to find a source.”  I imagine this is at least partly due to some savvy branding on their part.)  

In fact, if you’re doing any form of textual studies, JSTOR shouldn’t even be your first stop.

Why not?

Because JSTOR is a database, it pays money to host the resources that it does, and then charges for access to it - which means that it’s limited in what it can offer you.  JSTOR does not have every single article on any subject in its collection.  It has a lot!  It is one of the best databases out there!  But it’s still a database.

Instead, where you should be going when you’re looking for sources is the MLA Bibliography, which is housed online by EBSCO, and which every university will have access to.  The MLA Bibliography is not a database.  What it is is the bibliography of the Modern Language Association.  This means that it keep track of every academic article published in the field of textual studies, across the globe.  All of them.  If you search for a subject in the bibliography, you will find an entry for every article ever written in regards to it.

Keep in mind the distinction I just made:  you will find an entry for the article.  You might not find the article.  Because the bibliography is housed by EBSCO, if EBSCO has access to that article, there will be a link available in the listing.  Sometimes links to JSTOR and Project Muse are also at the bottom of them.  Otherwise you will need to check and see if your university has access to that specific article.  You might even need to go into the actual library and look for the physical journal housing that article!  Imagine!

I do think an aversion to old-fashioned research is part of the reason some students don’t search this way.  But I also think that some of them just genuinely don’t know any better.  But I promise: that tiny little bit of extra work is worth it.  You’ll find way, way more sources if you search this way, which means you’ll be able to write a better paper!  Plus, profs will notice if you’re only ever citing a single database, and while I don’t think any of them would ever dock you marks for something like that, it’ll still look better if they can tell that you’ve done wide-ranging research just by looking at your Works Cited page.

[forgottendance]

Another side note because access is always an issue: if you’re at university/college, use your university library’s catalogue search feature. They are linked to all the databases you can access through them AND should have records of everything you can access hard copy AND it will tell you how to access it AND it will quite often helpfully show you related sources. Which will save you a lot of tears when you discover the only copy of that perfect article is only in hardcopy halfway across the globe or will cost you $100 to access because your university isn’t suscribed to the right database.

Also, if you’re working within a specific field or subject for a long period of time, make a note of the specific journals that cover it and where to access them. I mean, for fairy tales and folklore, my go-to is always the Journal of American Folklore and Marvels & Tales first and for methodology, my first stop is always Critical Discourse Studies, because that’s my starting point. It’s a good way to start covering your bases before delving into the deep depths of search engines and databases.

Finally, if you’re working with foreign languages, make sure you know the databases for your target languages. Jstor does have some french, spanish, the big languages, but nothing in Finnish. If you don’t know where to look for Finnish/Finland-specific articles, it’s going to get a bit screwy. If you don’t know what the ones for your language are, ask your professor because they really should know (and probably should have told you by now). 

Ok, I said finally, but here’s the real finally: Libraries are your friend. Seriously, if you go to pick up a book on a topic, check out the books near it. It’s quite possible you didn’t put in exactly the right keywords into the finicky search engine (which can only do so much), and the source that will save your research is sitting right next to where you’re looking. Wander down aisles. Get to know the shelves that are relevant to your research. Browse. It will save you when you’re halfway through an essay and realize you’re about to make a ridiculous claim that needs back-up and oh right! that thing you saw the other day on the shelves, definitely worth it.

Obama's Pick For Librarian of Congress Is an Open Access Champion

She's a tech-savvy, open access champion who supporters say could help bring the nation’s largest and most important library into the digital age.

If confirmed by the Senate, Hayden would be the first female, African-American Librarian of Congress, and would assume leadership of an institution that plays an important role in crafting US tech policy, particularly on digital copyright issues such as cell-phone unlocking. (The US Copyright Office is part of the Library of Congress.)

Hayden is also widely respected among public interest groups and civil libertarians for her outspoken opposition to the PATRIOT Act over a decade ago, when privacy advocates feared the government would use the law to snoop on the library records of American citizens.

“From protecting privacy and ending the digital divide to advocating for the public’s right to access information, Dr. Hayden has consistently exhibited just the sort of priorities we would expect of the head of an institution that should be more than just a repository of culture and knowledge, but a pioneer in enabling access to these treasures,” Raza Panjwani, policy counsel at DC-based advocacy group Public Knowledge, said in a statement.

Researcher illegally shares millions of science papers free online to spread knowledge

Welcome to the Pirate Bay of science.

A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And she’s now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world’s biggest publishers.

For those of you who aren’t already using it, the site in question is Sci-Hub, and it’s sort of like a Pirate Bay of the science world. It was established in 2011 by neuroscientist Alexandra Elbakyan, who was frustrated that she couldn’t afford to access the articles needed for her research, and it’s since gone viral, with hundreds of thousands of papers being downloaded daily. But at the end of last year, the site was ordered to be taken down by a New York district court - a ruling that Elbakyan has decided to fight, triggering a debate over who really owns science.

“Payment of $32 is just insane when you need to skim or read tens or hundreds of these papers to do research. I obtained these papers by pirating them,”Elbakyan told Torrent Freak last year. “Everyone should have access to knowledge regardless of their income or affiliation. And that’s absolutely legal.”

If it sounds like a modern day Robin Hood struggle, that’s because it kinda is. But in this story, it’s not just the poor who don’t have access to scientific papers - journal subscriptions have become so expensive that leading universities such as Harvard and Cornell have admitted they can no longer afford them. Researchers have also taken a stand - with 15,000 scientists vowing to boycott publisher Elsevier in part for its excessive paywall fees.

1,000 Years of Scientific Texts From The Islamic World Are Now Online

Between the 9th and 19th centuries, Arabic-speaking scholars translated Greek, Latin and even Sanskrit texts on topics such as medicine, mathematics and astronomy, fostering a vibrant scientific culture within the Islamic world.

The library, a joint project of the British Library and the Qatar Foundation, offers free access to 25,000 pages of medieval Islamic manuscripts. Among some of the most significant texts:

The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices (1206 A.D.), which was inspired by an earlier, 9th-century translation of Archimedes’ writings on water clocks. Devices such as the "Elephant Clock" were the most accurate time-keeping pieces before the first pendulum clocks were built in the 17th century by the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens.

This is one of the only three recorded copies of an influential treatise on the construction and use of astrolabes by Abū al-Rayḥān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Bīrūnī (973-1048), containing 122 diagrams.

See more manuscripts at the Qatar Digital Library.
