Course organised jointly with the University of Bern Library
Description
This 2-day course will address the most effective way to search resources, given the different interfaces available and how these differences impact not only on retrieval but also on associated aspects such as managing the search results. Recent research evidence on the use of clinical trials registers will be presented, to identify trial evidence for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
The course will provide opportunities to learn new techniques, to discuss best approaches, to share insights and to assess variations in current best practice. The course will consist of short presentations, small group and plenary discussion, and hands-on exercises.
