Workshop: Basic Literature Searching (Virtual)
Basic Literature Searching Workshop
Thursday, June 23
12 p.m. – 1 p.m. EDT
Online Workshop led by Anna Biszaha, Assistant Professor, HSL Research and Education Librarian
Join us for an introduction to the process of developing a search strategy. There are several basic principles to keep in mind when searching for articles and information, regardless of what database or resource you are using. This workshop will provide you with the general skills needed to apply these strategies in a variety of situations.
Topics to be covered include:
- Steps to plan out your search
- PICO framework
- Developing search terms
- Boolean operators
- Selecting a database
Previous searching experience is not required. This workshop is ideal for students, faculty, or staff new to literature searching, as well as those with some experience but looking for a refresher.
This workshop will not be recorded, but slides will be shared with participants.
If you require accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Katherine Hoffman at katherine.hoffman@osumc.edu or (614) 292-4861. Requests made by Thursday, June 16 will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
