Finding and Using Tests and Instruments for Research
This handout talks about finding and using tests, measurements and other instruments for research. It discusses Mental Measurements Yearbook which offers commercially available instruments. It also shows ways to find “free” instruments that are reliable and valid as well as the articles describing the development and validation of these measures. A webinar based on this handout is available at https://watch.liberty.edu/media/t/1_23mxx0k
An Introduction to Google Scholar
This handout discusses the pros and cons of using Google Scholar to find books and journal articles. It tells how to connect Google Scholar to our Jerry Falwell Library subscription databases. It also discusses Google Books
Using Data and Statistics
This handout identifies the differences between statistics and data and how to use and analyze them. It provides numerous links to data and statistic sources available for free online or as part of our library subscriptions. Liberty University provides NVivo software for analyzing qualitative data and a link is provided to download the software
Creating a Comprehensive Review of the Literature
Research normally begins by doing a “review of the literature” to see what has already been written and to determine “gaps” in the literature for further research. This handout reviews ways to search for books, scholarly articles, dissertations, and grey literature on any topic using our library subscription resources
What\u27s New in the Latest APA Publication Manual?
In October 2019, the American Psychological Association released the 7th edition of their Publication Manual. This session will review the significant changes and updates made in APA formatting and added guidelines for student usage. Liberty University plans to implement these changes in May 2020. APA’s Academic Writer will also be presented which includes APA research tools, templates and sample papers
Turabian Citations from the Theological Journal Library
The Theological Journal Library for Galaxie is a tremendous source for conservative scholarly theological and biblical journal articles. However, the database doesn’t provide suggested Turabian citations. This handout tells how to develop properly formatted bibliography and footnote entries, including determining the inclusive pages for the entire article
Library Research Tips for Counseling Faculty
This PowerPoint provides descriptions and links for resources available to Liberty University Counseling faculty that will be helpful as they do their own research and assist students
Giant Antiferromagnetically Coupled Moments in a Molecule-Based Magnet with Interpenetrating Lattices
The molecule-based magnet [Ru(OCMe)][Cr(CN)] contains two
weakly-coupled, interpenetrating sublattices in a body-centered cubic
structure. Although the field-dependent magnetization indicates a metamagnetic
transition from an antiferromagnet to a paramagnet, the hysteresis loop also
exhibits a substantial magnetic remanance and coercive field uncharacteristic
of a typical metamagnet. We demonstrate that this material behaves like two
giant moments with a weak antiferromagnetic coupling and a large energy barrier
between the orientations of each moment. Because the sublattice moments only
weakly depend on field in the transition region, the magnetic correlation
length can be directly estimated from the magnetization.Comment: 3 figure
