A database encompassing the entire field of life sciences and providing comprehensive coverage of the world’s published biological and biomedical research. This includes traditional areas of biology, such as botany, zoology and microbiology, as well as experimental, clinical and veterinary medicine, biotechnology, environmental studies, and agriculture. Interdisciplinary fields such as biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering are also included. More than 6,500 serials are monitored for inclusion. CINAHL Begin to use Ebsco Host's interface to the Cummulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. CINAHL Plus provides indexing for 3,265 journals from the fields of nursing and allied health, with indexing back to 1937. CINAHL Plus also contains searchable cited references for more than 1,230 journals. Full text material includes nearly 80 journals plus legal cases, clinical innovations, critical paths, drug records, research instruments and clinical trials. Advanced CINAHL This class takes a more in-depth look at how to search CINAHL and how to use this important specialty database to meet your information needs. Cochrane Library The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that contain high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. Cochrane Reviews represent the highest level of evidence on which to base clinical treatment decisions. In addition to Cochrane Reviews, The Cochrane Library provides other sources of reliable information: other systematic reviews abstracts, technology assessments, economic evaluations, and individual clinical trials – all the current evidence in one single environment. This course will offer an introduction and overview of the Cochrane Library for Evidence-Based Medicine. COLLEXIS Collexis is a powerful tool that allows researchers to pinpoint UM biomedical faculty by their area of proficiency. Instead of searching multiple department web pages for faculty information, users can utilize Collexis as a one-stop resource to locate potential multidisciplinary team members, collaborators, or mentors at the University of Miami. Collexis draws upon UM faculty publications from PubMed (the past 20 years) and NIH-funded research projects from CRISP to automatically create and update dynamic faculty profiles. UM faculty can also input their CV data into their profile, as well. This class will give an overview of Collexis. Embase Get an introduction to EMBASE which provides the content that keeps you up to date with the latest scientific developments. EMBASE provides comprehensive timely access to pharmacological and biomedical literature. With more than 18 million records, EMBASE indexes more than 7000 journals from over 70 countries. The easy-to-use interface allows you to choose from a variety of search methods including: search forms, quick search, advanced search, field search, drug search, disease search, and article search. Embase allows you to organize searches or entire sessions into named folders for future use. PubMed PubMed provides free access to MEDLINE, NLM's database of citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, health care systems, and preclinical sciences. In this class you will set up and configure a My NCBI account and learn how to use your My NCBI account to save your search strategies, have those strategies automatically run with only new results sent to your email or how you can save collections of references for future use. You will also get a medical subject headings and use of limits refresher. Advanced PubMed This class takes a more in-depth look at how to search PubMed and how to use this important biomedical database to meet your information needs. QUOSA QUOSA “streamlines and turbo-charges literature retrieving, organizing, searching and sharing.” In the training sessions you will learn to retrieve all or selected full-text from your PubMed or Ovid search with one click, organize article collections, search across the full-text of the articles you retrieve, and how to share everything with colleagues, sync with RefWorks, and integrate with any electronic text. RefWorks: a Citing and Bibliograpy Creation Tool Get an introduction to this web-based bibliography and database manager, used to easily create personal databases of imported references from text files or online databases, that facilitates reference storage, retrieval, and formatting for publication. This resource is similar to EndNote, Reference Manager or Procite. If you spend more than an hour formating your references for your paper's bibliography then you are working way to hard. Sign-up and we'll show you how citing within your paper and creating your paper's bibliography can take only minutes. Advanced RefWorks This session is intended only for individuals who have taken the RefWorks: a Citing and Bibliograpy Creation Tool class. It covers additional features such as customization, global edit, backup/restore, duplicate removal, footnote citation, RefGrabIt and RefShare. Scopus Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. Allowing the opposite of the typical backtracking through older and older bibliographies, Scopus citation analysis helps you to find the newest research which has sprung from the important references you have already identified. Its also a great tool for helping you see how your body of work has impacted the larger community. Come in for the class and we will take it for a spin.
