New training sessions for November and December

Brush up your literature searching skills before Christmas: new training dates and topics for November and December.

Check the calendar available at http://www.medschl.cam.ac.uk/library/trainingdates.html for full details, but the sessions covered include:

  • How to find healthcare literature use National Library for Health (NLH) and ATHENS
    - search databases like Medline, CINAHL & Embase

  • How to find healthcare information on the Internet (covers NLH, TRIP)
    - better than just using Google!

  • How to find the best evidence in the Cochrane Library
    - top quality evidence in full text!

  • Keeping up to date: using RSS, blogs and more
    - don't be overwhelmed by all the things you need to read - keep in control.

  • How to search PubMed
    - the classic way to find articles and evidence, but not always the easiest.

  • Searching Scopus and Web of Knowledge (and why!)
    - learn to search a little further, and to search smarter as well as harder!

These sessions will all last 1 hour, and should be booked by contacting Isla at the Medical Library - email library@medschl.cam.ac.uk or phone (01223) 336750
