Brush up on your information literacy skills by joining us at this online session, hosted by Beth Jackson (Knowledge Skills Librarian at UHCW). We will be on hand to show you how to conduct literature searches in databases including Medline, EMBASE and CINAHL and the session will include:
- Practical tips on using keywords and advanced search techniques to improve their efficacy
- Demonstrations of how to use subject headings to locate appropriate evidence
- Advice on how to develop and refine your search when necessary
- Guidance on how to save, export and re-run your searches as alerts, to help keep you up to date in your specialist interests
This session is paired with our Smart Searching: writing effective search strategies session and does presume some prior knowledge of literature searching. If you are very new to, or need a refresher on the basic principles of literature searching, we’d recommend joining the Smart Searching session first.
Your contact details will be shared with Beth.Jackson@uhcw.nhs.uk
