Join us to learn more about the library and some of its lesser-known spaces, resources, and services.

Join us for an introduction to searching in PubMed. This database is one of the top resources to find articles for almost any health science topic, and the workshop will provide an overview of how to use this system.

Join us for an introduction to developing a search strategy. There are several basic principles to keep in mind when creating a search strategy, regardless of what database you are using, and this workshop will provide you with the general skills needed to apply these principles in a variety of scenarios.

The new 2024 NIH Public Access Policy went into effect on July 1, 2025 and requires that NIH-funded researchers make their articles publicly available through PubMed Central immediately upon the publication date. This informational session will provide an overview of the new policy, as well as tips for ensuring you stay compliant.

Join us for an interactive workshop dedicated to Zotero, a user-friendly citation management tool. This session will provide you with the skills you need to effectively collect, organize, and cite your research sources using Zotero.

Join us for an advanced session on searching in PubMed. This database is one of the top resources to search for almost any health science topic, and the workshop will provide a deeper look at how the database is structured and strategies to refine and optimize your searches.

Join us for an introductory session to searching the health sciences literature using Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) tools compared to current literature searching best practices in the context of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP).

Join us for a collaborative workshop where we will discuss instructional approaches encouraging students to critically engage with GenAI using their disciplinary knowledge.

Join us for an interactive workshop focused on SciENcv, the federal government system for creating NIH and NSF biosketches. SciENcv is already required by NSF, and NIH is expected to adopt it soon. This session will introduce you to SciENcv and guide you through creating and maintaining a compliant biosketch.

Join us for an interactive workshop to learn how to translate PubMed searches to Embase searches. This session will provide you with the skills to identify the similarities and differences between PubMed and Embase and how to construct similar searches, which is particularly helpful when developing search strategies for systematic or scoping reviews.

Did you know that HSL subscribed resources provide a variety of exam prep, study tools, and other interactive resources? Join us to see highlights of these tools and learn how to use them.
