Artemis Primary Sources can be used to cross-search,
analyse and visualise search results of the University of Sheffield’s
subscriptions to Gale historical collections and newspapers.
From both the basic and advanced search screens you can
choose to search across all available databases or select only those that are
relevant to your research. These databases include:
·
17th
and 18th Century Burney Collection
·
19th
Century British Newspapers
·
19th
Century UK Periodicals
·
Daily
Mail Historical Archive, 1896-2004
·
Eighteenth
Century Collections Online
·
The
Times Digital Archive, 1785-2008
On the left side of the search results screen
there are options to narrow your results. From here you can also access visual
representations of your search results by clicking on the options available
under Analyze Results. For example,
you can view your search results as Term
Clusters, which are visual
representations of the words and subjects that have been found most often in
the text of your search results. Clicking on a Term Cluster will narrow your original search results to the
documents also containing that subject or term.
There is also a tool that allows you to see a
visual representation of Term Frequency in
the form of a graph. This can be used to determine how often and in what years a
particular word or phrase occurs in your search results. Clicking on a point on
the graph will narrow your search results to that particular year and search
term. It is also possible to compare different search terms on one graph as
well as visualise search results according to popularity.
Useful tip: There is also a link to the Term Frequency tool on the initial
search page. This can be used to visualise the frequency or popularity of search
terms across all or some of the databases prior to conducting a search.
Useful tip: Create an account to save documents
of interest to a personal folder. From here you can email, print or export
documents into reference management software, such as EndNote. Having an
account will also enable you to create tags and annotate documents.
