Trenger du hjelp med et systematisk litteratursøk? Vi hjelper deg

Et systematisk litteratursøk er et omfattende søk der informasjonsinnhentingen er planmessig og begrunnet. Det kjennetegnes ved at man gjør omfattende søk i flere databaser med utstrakt bruk av søkeord. Søkeprosessen bygger på en streng inkludering/ekskludering av kriterier og bruk av et bredt utvalg av systematisk valgte termer/søkeord. Emneordene er valgt ut etter et tett og nært samarbeid mellom fagpersoner som kjenner sitt fagfelt godt og bibliotekpersonale med fagkompetanse.

Hensikten er å systematisk gå igjennom all litteratur en finner og dermed fange opp så mye som mulig av relevant litteratur på et felt. Søket skal i tillegg være dokumentert og etterprøvbart.

Hvor omfattende et litteratursøk skal være er avhengig av fagområde og hva det skal brukes til.

Universitetsbibliotekarene innen medisin har i flere år deltatt som medforfattere på artikler hvor de har stått for de systematiske søkene, men nå begynner også dette å skje innen de samfunnsvitenskapelige fagene.

Ønsker du hjelp til et systematisk søk ta kontakt med Magnus Rom Jensen eller Solvor Solhaug i Biblioteket Dragvoll

Eating your auntie is wrong : the world’s strangest customs

Once in a while you get some book titles that really trigger your curiosity?

A few «obvious» assumptions aobut the content of the book springs to mind quite quick:

Bad family relations?

Cannibalism?

Bad habits?

Traversing continents and centuries, Stephen Arnott has collected all manner of bizarrely fascinating customs—from sexual practices to the received wisdom on cannibalism.
The ancient Greeks, for example, thought a woman would not conceive if she wore a cat’s testicle tied in a tube across her navel. In China, the pillows under a dying person’s head were often removed; it was thought that a person who died looking at their feet would bring misfortune to their children. In many parts of the world, it is thought that if three people are photographed together, one will soon die—usually the one in the middle. And stranger still, the central European cure for baldness required the sufferer to eat a fresh bowl of chicken soup laced with pubic hair. From the first page to the last, Eating Your Auntie Is Wrong will have you reading in amazement.

Happy reading!

Food anthropology and books about food and drinks in general.

Our Dragvoll book collection on food customs, food anthropology, food recipes and food and drinks in general is growing.

Food studies and research on different aspect of food is growing so I have tried my best to build a collection that hopefully will grow in «popularity».

You will find most of the physical books at 394.12 on the shelf, but we also have a growing electronical collection of books about food as a topic.

A quick search with the keyword food and anthropology with a limit to material type: e-books in ORIA gave me the following titles. (Not only limited to Dragvoll but to the whole of NTNU as the case is for all
our e-resources).

Anthropology- One «new» anthropologist every week

Karen Nakamura2

Starting from today I will pick one anthropologist every week that interests me. This weeks pick is Karen Nakamura, just employed at The Department of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley.

This is what she says about her self:

«I am a cultural and visual anthropologist whose research focuses on disability, sexuality, and minority social movements in contemporary Japan. My first book, Deaf in Japan, was on sign language, identity, and deaf social movements. I recently finished my second book, which is on schizophrenia and mental illness in Japan and is titled, A Disability of the Soul. For the past year, I’ve been working on my third project which explores the intersections of disability, gender, and sexuality.»
