GOOGLE SCHOLAR/What it is/What it isn't
Thursday, November 5 - 1:00 to 2:30
Since 2004, the search engine known as Google Scholar scours the Web for links to scholarly papers, books, abstracts, technical reports and conference proceedings in broad academic disciplines. Google Scholar is a great way to find materials in the "hidden web" but should be searched in conjunction with our UConn subscription databases and journals. Learn more about how and when to use Google in this class.
ENDNOTE
Tuesday, November 10 - 10:30 to 12:00
Bibliographies made easy. Learn how to use this tool to search online bibliographic databases, organize the references and build lists of cited works automatically. It includes additional features such as unlimited storage capacity (number of references), Customized views & displays, Work Offline (anytime/anywhere), Local Personal Files and Documents, and many more.
PUBMED – BEYOND THE BASICS
Friday, November 20 - 1:00 to 2:30
This class focuses on searching PubMed with greater precision. Topics covered include using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), finding information in specific journals, locating systematic reviews or EBM articles with “Clinical Queries”, and storing search strategies on NLM’s server for re-execution at a later date. Attendees are expected to be familiar with the basics of PubMed.
