Basic PubMed Skills Workshop
I have observed in other R4L trainings that they are library-centric. They assume novice-level PubMed skills. For this reason, I am offering a PubMed for R4L Training workshop this Friday, February 22 at noon at our School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, 1440 Cama; Street. Room 1201.
Specifically, you need to have both knowledge and skills about PubMed;
For each item, rate yourself
1 = I don’t have a clue
2 = I can use it but I would like help
3 = I can use it on my own
4 = I can teach other people about it.
If your score is between 6 - 12, then you need some training prior to the class in order to reduce stress and improve concentration during the workshop.

Why is Research4Life training important?
Most institutions in low- and middle-income countries are registered, yet administrators and users are neither aware of it nor have the user name and passwords to access it. This training creates awareness and provides knowledge and skill to find, access, organize and use scholarly information. Providing this training during the pre-professional phase of career development is very important. After international students matriculate and return home, they become unaffiliated with academic health science libraries (i.e. the Matas Library), and their access to scholarly information and the opportunity to learn about Research4Life diminishes. For professionals, the information landscape has changed dramatically. This is an opportunity for them to both develop 21st century library skills and learn about Research4LifeI. The event is a continuing education opportunity for local health science librarians.
Even though the survey title is "2016", it is the correct survey. Please take it before February 27. Thank you
