Webinar Alert and Slides from the MLA Sunrise Seminar

Posted on by Patti Avellanet in For Librarians

Our Sunrise Seminar at Mosaic ‘16 (the joint conference of the Medical Library Association, the Canadian Health Libraries Association, and the International Clinical Librarian Conference) took place on Monday. The session covered:

The presentation included several live search demos:

  • EBSCOhost: Using the Thesaurus
  • APA Style CENTRAL overview
  • APA PsycNET: PsycTHERAPY overview
  • Ovid and ProQuest: searching PsycINFO for information on tests & measures

If you weren’t able to join us, there are two ways you can get the material. First, the slides are now available on our Slideshare account. We recommend downloading the slides and viewing them in PowerPoint, as the presenter notes area includes additional information for each slide.

Second, we will be reprising the session as a webinar! (Note that you did attend in person, no new or additional information will be presented during this session.)
