Researcher Development: Searching Smarter in Medline and Embase Online
Are you spending hours searching for research articles only to feel overwhelmed by irrelevant results or worried you're missing key studies? This interactive 30-minute session combines live demonstrations with hands-on practice. You'll watch expert search strategies being built in real-time and leave with practical skills you can apply immediately to your own research.
What you'll learn:
- Master Boolean operators and proximity searching to create targeted, comprehensive searches

- Use advanced field searching and truncation strategies to refine your results
- Build complex search strategies step-by-step using real research scenarios
