PubMed can appear to be a simple, intuitive tool, but there are a number of techniques, features and tips that can help you boost the efficacy of your searches. Have you heard of Automatic Term Mapping and Medical Subject Headings? How do Boolean operators and truncation work? Do you already have a My NCBI account to personalize your filters and save your searches?
The Scientific Information Resources Center (CeRIS) is running a training course that combines a general overview with practical applications to help you get to grips with these techniques and save time with your searches.
Aims of the training:
- Identify the features that make PubMed a powerful database
- Learn specific techniques to improve the relevance of your search results
- Use the Medical Subject Headings database to boost your PubMed searches by subject
- Create and configure a My NCBI account to personalize your PubMed features and save effective search settings
- Get to grips with the new PubMed interface
This training (in English) is intended for people who need to carry out occasional or recurring bibliographic searches in the PubMed database.
It is suitable for beginners as well as for users who have learned to use the base on their own and want to better exploit its potential. It will take place online via Microsoft Teams.
