  • Clarify a search topic 
  • Choose appropriate sources for searching 
  • Devise search strategies 
  • Search for and retrieve relevant information 
  • Sort and Save your searches 

 

Please note that, due to covid-19 restrictions, this session will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams by a one of the Health Library trainers. You do not need to have Teams but you will be sent an invitation to join the training for the date that you select.
