Training dates for your diary

New year, new you... Have you been meaning to get to grips with literature searching to find high quality evidence for your patients or your coursework but just haven't found the time?

We have a number of training sessions coming up which will show you - or re-acquaint you - with various databases which will give you references to excellent peer-reviewed and reputable journal articles.

The training sessions we have booked until the end of March are as follows:

• Tuesday 9 February 2016: Indepth Literature Searching 2 - 5pm

• Thursday 18 February 2016: Using PubMed Effectively 2 - 4.30pm

• Friday 26 February 2016: The Cochrane Library - An Evidence Based Resource 9.30am - 12.30pm

• Tuesday 1 March 2016: Introduction to Literature Searching 2.30 - 4.30pm

• Thursday 10 March 2016: Indepth Literature Searching 9.30am-12.30pm 

(We already have provisional dates for 2016-2017 and they will be announced soon for all you forward-planners!)

However, if you can't make one of these dates, you can arrange a one-hour one-to-one session with a librarian where we will go through a search strategy with you and guide you through the process of searching.

So make 2016 the year that you give up Google for marvellous Medline and all the other health care databases!
