This session will show ways in which you can maintain some control over what personal information about you is shared.

Library 101: Advanced Sessions - Advanced Searching in Sciences

This session will welcome students to searching with the analytical insight of a true subject specialist. We will start in Web of Science to learn about the analytical and citation metrics. Next, we will move into the OVID family of databases to learn how to structure powerful searches using the modular approach favoured by that environment. This part of the workshop will involve harnessing the power of thesauri to make searches reproducible and exhaustive.
