Online videos - the next best thing to attending a training session

Video guides offer a convenient way to refresh your literature searching skills. There are guides for all the stages of any literature search:

·         planning a search

·         choosing a database

·         finding thesaurus terms

·         taking out duplicate references

·         organising your results

·         avoiding plagiarism.

It doesn’t take long to watch one of the guides, typically they last around two minutes. If you can’t come in for a training session, they make a handy alternative option.

Try these video guides from Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and these from the North West Ambulance Service Library.
