Literature Searching in Practice: Finding Health Resources in Elsevier Databases Online
Our Literature Searching in Practice workshops are designed to help you make sense of academic databases and refine your searching skills so you can take your research to the next level.
This interactive session will provide practical searching advice and demonstrate effective use of Elsevier databases for health and nursing research. We will cover:
Embase, a biomedical database for systematic reviews, drug safety monitoring and evidence-based research and practice;
SCOPUS, a multi-disciplinary abstract and citation database that covers a diverse range of topics in science, technology, social sciences, medicine, and the arts.
Our Skills Librarians will introduce you to the database, propose a research question, and demonstrate effective use of key terms, operators and filters to locate useful, accurate information.
This session will be particularly useful to those undertaking Health, Allied Care or Nursing degrees, and those conducting literature reviews.
