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
