Library Introduction:

Using Summon to find resources for assignments

In this practical session, you will learn how to find and reference ebooks and journal articles:

·      We will use reflective practice and leadership as a subject area to search on

·      Please follow the steps provided below

·      Please ask, as we go along, if you need any help / have any questions!

Step 1: Go to Summon

2 minutes

·      Open up a browser ( Firefox or Google Chrome)

·      Login to myUniHub

·      Click on the My Study tab

·      Go to the My Library box

·      Click on Summon

Step 2: Finding ebooks using Summon

10 minutes

·      Search using the keywords reflective practice

·      Refine your results in the left-hand column as follows:

o   Full Text Online

o   Book / eBook

o   Publication Date: 2010 -

·      Try accessing a couple of the books in your results (click on the title and see if you can read them online)

·      Go back to the Summon tab and click on the  sign to the right of the two books that you have looked at.

This should add them to a temporary folder at the top of the page:  

 

·      We will come back to this temporary folder later on!

Step 3: Finding journal articles using Summon

10 mins

·      Add the term leadership to your search box (so you now have reflective practice leadership)

If you want to change these search terms to improve the search / make it more specific or search for something else…Please feel free to do so

·      Click on Search

·      Refine your search again (some of these filters will already be set):

o   Full Text Online

o   Scholarly & Peer-Review

o   Journal Article (click on Book / eBook to remove it as a filter)

o   Publication Date: 2010 – present (click and drag left-hand button to change dates)

·      Try accessing a couple of articles:

o   Click on the title and, on the following screen, click on the PDF / Full Text link

o   Try to save the PDFs onto your desktop

·      Go back to the Summon tab and click on the  sign to the right of the two articles that you have looked at

This should add them to a temporary folder at the top of the page:    

Step 4: Referencing

10 mins

·      Click on the temporary folder icon 

·      Change the Citation Format to Harvard and email the 4 references to yourself

·      Leave the Summon tab open but go back to the myUniHub tab / page 

·      Click on My Study

·      Go to the My Library box and click on Referencing

·      Click on the Cite Them Right Online link on the right-hand side of the page

·      Cite Them Right provides the University’s standard formatting for Harvard.

This may be slightly different to the Harvard format(s) that you find elsewhere…for example from Summon. Cite Them Right is the correct format.

·      To find the appropriate reference in Cite Them Right, click on the tabs on the toolbar at the top of the page.

·      Compare the references you have in Summon with the format provided in Cite Them Right. Are they the same? What are the differences?

Step 5: Support

5 mins

·      Go back to the myUniHub tab / page

·      Click on My Study

·      Go to the My Library box and click on Library Subject Guides

·      Click on Work Based Learning and go to the Work Based Learning guide

This is a really good place to find other resources that you can use!

·      Click on ‘Your Librarians’ - A great place to ask for help
