Upcoming Events

The first of two parts, this 60-minute session will introduce the concepts of searching the healthcare literature to support systematic reviews from initial framing of a question, to demonstrate search using PICO(T), searching both keywords and subject terms for CINAHL and MEDLINE on the new EBSCOhost interface. Part 2 will look at how to process results using personal folders and bibliographic software. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: Describe key steps in searching in support of systematic reviewsPlan an appropriate search strategy using the PICO(T) frameworkLocate and use methodological search filters Further support for EBSCOhost research databases

This 60-minute session will introduce advanced search concepts for searching CINAHL on the new EBSCOhost interface, including a review of the navigation changes, NHS Librarians in England. In this session we will look at keyword and subject searching, use of precision (proximity) operators, combining searches in the Search History and reviewing available options to save, share, download and export search results, as well as saving, editing and downloading searches, according to the new navigation features. By the end of the session, you will be able to: Identify and utilise the new navigation featuresPerform Title and Abstract & Subject searches for CINAHL on EBSCOhostCombine keyword (free text) and CINAHL Headings using the Search HistoryAppy precision (proximity) operators to improve search resultsExport results in RIS and related formats for bibliographic softwareSave, share, download results and searches This 60-minute session will introduce advanced search concepts for searching CINAHL on the new EBSCOhost interface, including a review of the navigation changes, NHS Librarians in England.

This 60-minute session will introduce advanced search concepts for searching MEDLINE on the new EBSCOhost interface. In this session we will look at developing a complex search strategy, incorporating wildcards and proximity search operators, running freetext and MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) searches, and applying available filters to focus search results.By the end of the session, you will be able to: Plan an appropriate search strategy using the PICO(T) frameworkPerform simultaneous Title and Abstract searches on EBSCOhostUse Medical Subject Headings (MeSH terms) for authoritative search resultsCombine keyword (free-text) and MeSH terms using the Search History in MEDLINEFind EBSCO training resources in support of systematic searching

This 60-minute session will introduce options for managing search results after searching the literature on CINAHL and MEDLINE, on the new EBSCOhost interface, in support of systematic reviews. This session will look at available options including using the MyEBSCO personal Folder to store and retrieve searches and references exporting to bibliographic software, such as Endnote and RefWorks. By the end of the session, you will be able to: Save, print, email search results Export results in RIS and related formats into bibliographic softwareSave searches for future referenceCreate & share custom foldersFind further support for managing searches and results on EBSCOhost

This session will demonstrate the use of the PICO (Problem/Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) framework in searching the Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection (PBSC), a core EBSCOhost research database. In this session you will learn how to create the strategy, apply wildcards, truncation and proximity operators and also set up search alerts to keep current the latest research.By the end of this session, participants will be able to: Create a search strategy using the PICO(T) frameworkApply wildcards and truncation to search stringsCreate a search alert to keep current with the literature Find further help and support information on EBSCOhost databases
