Smart Searching, Better Sources: Building Your Research Toolkit Online
After your research question has been fully developed, it’s time to move on to creating a search strategy and identifying resources to search. This session will focus on highlighting the skills needed to develop a quality search strategy, such as the use of ‘seed’ articles for ‘pearl-growing’, concept mapping, brainstorming synonyms and Boolean logic. You’ll also learn how to identify relevant health information resources through TMU Libraries’ digital collections, as well as how subject liaison librarians can help support your research through our various services.
This is the second session in the Library Research and Scholarly Publishing in Health and Medicine series, From PICO to Publish. A recording of the session will be made available to those who register for the session.
