<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of our BCSTH member organizations purchase resources
for their own libraries. There are many ways to purchase resources, and BCSTH
does not recommend any one way (we use a combination) but we offer these tips from our experience so that you can find the ways that work for
you. </span></div>

your local bookstore</b></span> </span>– A bookstore in your community can usually order
books for you from the publisher, even if they don’t have the book you want in
stock. The price may be higher than ordering from a large online bookseller,
but you are supporting your community.</span><br />

the staff members are very knowledgeable and helpful. They also provide book
displays and sell books at conferences. Search for and order their books online, or
contact them directly for more information. As a specialized bookstore, the
price may be higher than large online booksellers, but you have the added value
of the staff’s expertise in selecting high-quality materials.</span><br />

</span><!--[endif]--><b>Online
booksellers</b> </span>– The big online booksellers (e.g., Amazon.ca,
Chapters.Indigo.ca) may have the lowest prices and give you the biggest bang for your buck, however we have heard from authors that although they get very wide exposure, the trade-off is that they do not earn as much on the sale of their book. The advantage of sites like Amazon.ca for us is that when we are looking for new books to add to the library, they include such a large range of books, including those not yet published, and we can search by topic. You can also find other large booksellers, including those that specialize in used books, or donate to literacy programs, or specialize in certain types of books, for example. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You may want to shop around at several sites or find your favourite and stick with it.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Generally, the Canadian sites are best as shipping may be free and you don’t have to worry about an exchange rate. However, sometimes a UK site (e.g., Amazon.co.uk) will have a book that you can't find elsewhere. Note that in Canada, shipping costs may apply unless your order is over a certain dollar value, or you purchase a special service that includes free shipping - depending on the bookseller's policies.</span><br />

online</b> </span>– Many publishers sell the books they publish directly from their website, so why not go to the source. The
price may be higher than the large online booksellers and if the publisher is not in Canada, there may be exchange rates to consider. Search the web for the
name of the publisher.</span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Be aware of where you are purchasing the book online - there may be a better place than the first site you find through Google.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Be sure that you are selecting the correct edition of the book you want - search to see if a more current edition is available</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Check that you are ordering the correct format for your needs - hardcover, softcover, kindle, other online version</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you want a new or used book?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Are you paying in currency other than Canadian? If so, what is the cost after considering the exchange rate?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do taxes apply?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What are the shipping costs?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When will it be delivered?</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you'd like certain books to be available to your community, you may wish to consider a partnership with your <a href="http://commons.bclibraries.ca/library_location_map/" target="_blank">local public librarian</a>, and recommend resources for the public to borrow from their public library.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.vawnet.org/img/img-internal-research.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.vawnet.org/img/img-internal-research.jpg" height="94" width="320" /></a></div>
While most of our BCSTH members request practical resources they can use with the women and children they serve, at times they seek research-based materials. Lots of organizations list web reports and documents, including journal articles, but sometimes you need to do more comprehensive research in academic journal articles and databases.<br />
<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">This short guide gives 3 sources I like to visit first for research-based materials (academic, peer-reviewed journal articles) on violence against women and children. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b>But first, consider these past blog entries:</b><br />
<ul>
<li><i><b><span style="color: #999999;">How Might I Do Research on Restorative Justice?</span></b></i> This is the process I used to find <a href="http://bcsthlib.blogspot.ca/search/label/research%20process" target="_blank">Research on Restorative Justice</a>, an example you may wish to follow for your topic.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLU8pKEztmmIb6fxP3pO1PVV6IVaVy-r6tiYZ6FV-mpWMcIu4Zyvnz-rZY3kyfxCGoUOZ7MSfzaafmGdNmikNz8BJPPKXdmxfaTr6EuA8qi6CljuNsr5C8dHJhEKjTCQmLdmbBZICL7pMR/s1600/cdcevidence.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLU8pKEztmmIb6fxP3pO1PVV6IVaVy-r6tiYZ6FV-mpWMcIu4Zyvnz-rZY3kyfxCGoUOZ7MSfzaafmGdNmikNz8BJPPKXdmxfaTr6EuA8qi6CljuNsr5C8dHJhEKjTCQmLdmbBZICL7pMR/s1600/cdcevidence.png" width="200" /></a></div>
</li>
<li><i><span style="color: #999999;"><b>How Do I Make Sense of Research and Apply it to My Practice?</b></span></i> If you are not an academic researcher, you likely want to apply the research you read to your practice. Review these two tools which can help you to <a href="http://bcsthlib.blogspot.ca/search/label/evidence" target="_blank">Understand Evidence and Use it in Your Violence Prevention Work.</a></li>
<li><span style="color: #999999;"><i><b>How Do I Find Best Practices?</b></i> </span>If instead of looking for research, you would like to find Best Practices, Canada has a website compiling <a href="http://bcsthlib.blogspot.ca/search/label/Best%20Practice" target="_blank">Best Practices in Preventing Violence</a>. You can also search the <a href="http://library.bcsth.ca/" target="_blank">BCSTH Library Catalogue</a> for best practices relevant in our field.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>And now, here are <u>3 Simple Ways</u> to Stay Up-To-Date and Find Research Literature on Violence Against Women and Children:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">1. Journal Alert Services</span></b> - Stay up-to-date with the latest research. Find journals of interest to you and sign up for the "Alert" to receive the current issue Table of Contentsby email (or on Facebook, or Twitter, etc.). At the very least, you'll be able to read the abstracts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i><span style="color: #999999;"><b>What Are Some Useful Journals?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cwscf.ca/images/covers/banner/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.cwscf.ca/images/covers/banner/3.jpg" height="200" width="155" /></a></div>
</b></span></i></li>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://vaw.sagepub.com/" target="_blank">Violence Against Women</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.cwscf.ca/" target="_blank">Canadian Women's Studies</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springer.com/medicine/journal/10896" target="_blank">Journal of Family Violence</a></li>
<li><a href="http://jiv.sagepub.com/" target="_blank">Journal of Interpersonal Violence</a></li>
</ul>
<li><i><span style="color: #999999;"><b>How Can I Get Articles That are Not Available For Free?</b></span> </i>If you have searched the web and not been able to find the article you want for free, consider:</li>
<ol>
<li>In-person visit to a local university library. Most libraries allow you to use their extensive online journals for free as a community member while you are on-site.</li>
<li>Purchase the article from the publisher (often around $30 per article), or </li>
<li>Subscribe to the journal if you'll be reading it regularly.</li>
</ol>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">2. Search Google Scholar </span>- If you don't have access to an academic library's databases <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
and journals, you can search <a href="http://scholar.google.ca/" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a> for journal articles. While Google Scholar is a bit messy - an enormous database with lots of stuff and no control - you should be able to find articles on your topic and some of them may be available for free (see above about how to get those that are not free).</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><i><span style="color: #999999;"><b>Did you know that you can set up a search Alert in Google Scholar?</b> </span></i>New articles of interest on your topic will be emailed to you when they are published.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0APS6U0BPp1LhkK6tpZ7n0BLYjX6SgN5ljC_-K6jWrz3T6MzaEtMVp0StFDc2X31ppraAB7iinP52TMuSw5qto1p9ILnR1A5gGzlTyhuQsWhMSOg2csH6Gs1KpP-JfYW3ZbJisUKq3Byn/s1600/scholar.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="96" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0APS6U0BPp1LhkK6tpZ7n0BLYjX6SgN5ljC_-K6jWrz3T6MzaEtMVp0StFDc2X31ppraAB7iinP52TMuSw5qto1p9ILnR1A5gGzlTyhuQsWhMSOg2csH6Gs1KpP-JfYW3ZbJisUKq3Byn/s1600/scholar.png" width="200" /></a></div>
</li>
<li><b style="color: #999999; font-style: italic;">Did you know that you can save articles you'd like to keep in your "Library" within Google Scholar?</b> This is a handy feature.</li>
<li><span style="color: #999999;"><b style="font-style: italic;">Did you know that Google Scholar has an Advanced Search feature?</b> </span>While not sophisticated, you can make your search a little more specific and find better results with the Advanced Search. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">3. Use Databases and Journals In-Person at a Local Library</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>- If you need to do thorough and accurate research but you are not associated with an academic center, you can either outsource the research for a fee (e.g., <a href="http://www.vpl.ca/infoaction/index.html" target="_blank">InfoAction</a> is a general research service), or you can visit a local university with a relevant program and spend time using their extensive databases and journals as a community member. For example:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Use the <a href="http://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/subject-guides/gsws/home" target="_blank"><b>Library Subject Guide for SFU's Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program</b></a> and then go to SFU downtown or on Burnaby Mountain. </li>
<li>Or try UBC's <a href="http://guides.library.ubc.ca/content.php?pid=503139" target="_blank"><b>Library Research Guide for Gender, Race, and Sexuality</b></a> and then go to the campus in Vancouver or the Okanagan. </li>
<li>JIBC's Library has a <a href="http://libguides.jibc.ca/trauma" target="_blank"><b>LibGuide on Complex Trauma</b></a>.</li>
<li>York University has a <b><a href="http://researchguides.library.yorku.ca/content.php?pid=282423&sid=2325242" target="_blank">Library Subject Research Guide on Violence Against Women</a></b></li>
<li>University of New Brunswick has a <b><a href="http://www.lib.unb.ca/guides/view/index.php/10" target="_blank">Library Guide to Family Violence Issues</a></b></li>
</ul>
<div>

<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">How Common is Sexting Among Teens?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
The word 'sexting' a combination of sex and texting and refers to the sending of sexually related text or images from one mobile phone to another.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #666666;">'To date, there have been no published studies examining how many Canadian teens have used their cell phones to send or receive nude photos. Three studies have examined sexting among teens in the United States.' In some cases, it was as high as 22%.</span></i></blockquote>

Sometimes data sets are available, but have not yet been interpreted. Sometimes the most recent statistics compiled may be many years old as it takes time to interpret and compile the data collected.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beyond these large reports, we often rely on reports from organizations (grey literature), such as a report by a particular organization on their client group, or published journal articles which gather research data on a population or service or geographical area which can help to paint a picture of issues relating to the state of violence against women.</span><br />

Each year since 2009, <b><a href="http://www.bcsth.ca/content/24-hour-census" target="_blank">BCSTH has conducted a one-day census </a></b>to find out how many people are served by programs to end violence against women. The full report is released in April 2013, during Prevention of Violence Against Women Week.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #666666;"><i><b>"In 2012, initial findings show that programs across BC supported 1,772 women and 943 children [on one day]. Fifteen women were pregnant. Forty-two of these women were threatened by a gun. However, 260 women, many of them mothers, were unable to get the support they needed, and 338 children remained on waiting lists for Children Who Witness Abuse Programs or were unable to get the support they needed.</b>"</i></span></blockquote>
Other jurisdictions conduct similar surveys, such as the <a href="http://nnedv.org/resources/census.html" target="_blank">US National Network to End Domestic Violence Annual Census.</a><br />
<br />
Other examples of BC reports in the catalogue include<a href="http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/coroners/publications/docs/stats-domestic-violence.pdf"> Intimate partner violence in British Columbia, 2003-2011</a>. Burnaby, BC: : Ministry of Justice, Office of the Chief Coroner, 2012.<br />

Here is a summary of my research process.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">1. Books - Search the <a href="http://library.bcsth.ca/" target="_blank">BCSTH Library Catalogue</a></span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>

We have <b>4 hard copy books</b> in the library that BCSTH members may borrow, both general and specific to violence against women. One of them is <b>Restorative Justice for Domestic Violence Victims: An Integrated Approach to their Hunger for Healing, 2010</b>. It has chapters on:<br />
<ul>
<li>Hunger for healing : is there a role for introducing restorative justice principles in domestic violence services?</li>
<li>From domestic violence to restorative justice in domestic violence services : methodologies and analyses plans</li>
<li>Portrait of the battered women : potential for restorative justice intervention</li>
<li>Power and control dynamics in the batterer-battered relationships</li>
<li>Help-seeking patterns : are women victims or survivors?</li>
<li>How well do extant domestic violence services serve survivors? some restorative justice implications</li>
<li>A hunger for healing and closure : a case for restorative justice approaches in domestic violence services.</li>
</ul>
<div>

<div>
Our catalogue if not just for books; we also select the best web resources that present a balanced view of the topic so that you can look in one place to get started on your research. There may be historical information about how restorative justice started in BC, examples of how it is being done in BC, academic theses from local universities, position papers from non-profits, as well as reports from other provincial and national bodies. Here are just a few examples:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://mrjc.ca/documents-publications/restorative-justice-domestic-violence/restorative_justice_DV_Lit_Review.pdf" target="_blank">Restorative Justice in the Context of Domestic Violence: A Literature Review</a>, 2004.</li>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><b>3. Google for More Web Reports & Web Sites </b></span>(We all love to Google, but I used Google's <a href="http://www.google.ca/advanced_search" target="_blank">Advanced Search</a> and restricted to Canadian links)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love to check the BCSTH Library catalogue first because it gives me a sense of what's being published, and then I can Google for more if needed. By Googling for Canadian links, I found out:</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS01HXjKQxDpSHFDAmx-pFZEVBNWq207FI6BAjIykQzRQ8cTZbO-DgEjlAKAZVcC27GgiBXMeaFENnZ8clDUM-7aLxxMKEZzZ4zVv1A8kdsa19IOwoOo7nco8boPsICAzLj5rOjLgApp3z/s1600/sfurestjust.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS01HXjKQxDpSHFDAmx-pFZEVBNWq207FI6BAjIykQzRQ8cTZbO-DgEjlAKAZVcC27GgiBXMeaFENnZ8clDUM-7aLxxMKEZzZ4zVv1A8kdsa19IOwoOo7nco8boPsICAzLj5rOjLgApp3z/s320/sfurestjust.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<ul>
<li>SFU has <a href="http://www.sfu.ca/crj.html" target="_blank">The Centre for Restorative Justice</a> - a good local contact</li>
<li>There is an <a href="http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/rj/crg-bc-eng.shtml" target="_blank">inventory of programs</a> in BC</li>
<li>Other provinces have looked at this issue, e.g., <a href="http://justiceoptions.ca/index.htm" target="_blank">PEI</a> and <a href="http://www.nsrj-cura.ca/projects/restorative-justice-gender-and-violence-exploring-the-issues" target="_blank">NS</a> and <a href="http://www.thanl.org/media/uploads/pdf/Makingitsafe.pdf" target="_blank">NFL</a></li>
<li>Our Saskatchewan counterpart held a <a href="http://abusehelplines.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/PATHS-Report-Restorative-Justice-Is-It-Justice-for-Battered-Women.pdf" target="_blank">conference</a> on it in 2000</li>
<li>BC has several reports, such as this one from <a href="http://www.endingviolence.org/files/uploads/RestorativeJusticeDVSA_0.pdf" target="_blank">2002</a></li>

<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">4. Journal Article Research via Google Scholar (Free) & My Local Academic Library with a Program in Women's Studies (Not Free Stuff)</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next, I searched <a href="http://scholar.google.ca/" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a>. This is a handy free database that only searches journal literature. Not all of the articles it retrieves can be freely found on the Web (some require purchase or a trip to your local university) but it will give you a sense of what is being published in the journal literature.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG3rX0ZkVyUOg2TmEE1F6LPXN_vO21hLPidhiBrHfr0suAEyortaUiEsDY3s7o2P-89s5nAQhQQqSYj1yC-2voo_fk9QNLl2OZeZ6CSyRh4isUGqOcOO6L5XstQHvS-QR-efsJHLqHBZau/s1600/restjustart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG3rX0ZkVyUOg2TmEE1F6LPXN_vO21hLPidhiBrHfr0suAEyortaUiEsDY3s7o2P-89s5nAQhQQqSYj1yC-2voo_fk9QNLl2OZeZ6CSyRh4isUGqOcOO6L5XstQHvS-QR-efsJHLqHBZau/s320/restjustart.jpg" width="320" /></a>Google Scholar is very unsatisfying to a librarian who is used to searching sophisticated research databases, so I made the journey to my local university which has a program in women's studies. They subscribe to databases that can't be found freely on the Web. Most universities will allow you to use their electronic resources on site as a community user. The best ones for our subject area are:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Women's Studies International</li>
<li>PsycINFO</li>
<li>Social Sciences Index</li>
</ul>
<div>
I found several good articles, along with many more citations and abstracts that helped me to understand the scope of the research on this topic, such as this review article on <a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15564880600934138" target="_blank">Restorative Justice Models in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence: Reviewing the Evidence</a> (not freely available online, must be purchased or obtained from a library).</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">My role as your BCSTH librarian is to:</span></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>select the best resources for you</b>, our members, according to our collection development policy and within our budget; </li>
<li><b>organize them so you can find them when you need them,</b> through our <a href="http://library.bcsth.ca/" target="_blank">BCSTH Library Catalogue</a>, providing you with the URLs for web resources and lending hard copy items to you; </li>
<li><b>disseminate the information</b> through our lending service, Ask-a-Librarian, web site, blog, emails, and other ways so that you can take advantage of this great service.</li>
</ul>
<div>
I hope this example researching the topic of restorative justice gives you a peek into the world of librarians and how we can assist you in your work.</div>
