Paper For Above Instructions

The FNU Library databases provide a wealth of resources for students and researchers alike. Utilizing these databases effectively is essential for successful research activities in academic settings. This paper discusses the steps taken to search for academic articles using two different search strategies: basic search and advanced search. The focus will be on articles related to the renowned immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Basic Search Strategy

To begin the search process, students log into Blackboard, navigate to the Tools section, and access the LIRN (Library and Information Resources Network). Once there, they switch to the “Alphabetical View” and select the “Science Database.” This interface enables users to conduct a basic search for articles.

For the first search, the search term “Anthony Fauci” was inputted, leading to the retrieval of an article titled “10 reasons why Anthony Fauci was ready to be the face of the US pandemic response.”

Upon locating this article, key details were extracted:

  • Author: The author's name should be documented from the article.

  • Publication Date: Noted for understanding the timeliness of the research.

  • Affiliation: The institution or organization affiliated with the author.

Additionally, the article citation was created using APA 6th Edition format to standardize references in academic work. This process underscores the importance of proper citation in academic integrity.

Advanced Search Strategy

Subsequently, the advanced search feature was utilized for a more targeted approach. After returning to the Science Database page, the advanced search option allowed for more refined queries. In this case, the search engine was instructed to seek out articles authored by “Anthony Fauci” in relation to the topic of vaccines.

The following steps were taken in the advanced search:

  • Inputted “Anthony Fauci” and selected the Author filter.
