The Biomedical Campus Library has five research skills training sessions next week. The first looks at systematic review protocols, and covers the contents and types of information you will need to provide in your protocol, as well as highlighting helpful resources and further support. In the second class, you will learn how to search medical/healthcare databases accessed with a University of Cambridge login (such as Medline and Embase) effectively and efficiently, how to save searches and references, and how to create and maintain a bibliography. This course is delivered at an introductory/refresher level, and assumes you have had no prior training in how to search databases. Two other classes provide introductory showcases of Endnote and Zotero referencing software, while the final class covers data management considerations throughout every stage of the research life cycle, from planning to preservation and reuse. It is intended as an introductory overview covering general principles of good practice in research data management. 

The sessions will not be recorded.

Upcoming Biomedical Campus Library training sessions are as follows: 

• Writing a Systematic Review Protocol [Online] (12^th October, 11.30am-12.30pm) 

• Introduction to Literature Searching [In person] (14^th October, 10am-12pm)
