Bibliotekskurs våren 2022 / Library courses spring 2022

Biblioteket tilbyr følgende kurs våren 2022:

  • Introduksjon til Endnote
  • Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase
  • Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter

Kursene skal etter planen holdes som hybridløsning, hvor det er mulighet for å delta både fysisk og digitalt via Zoom. Kursene er fortrinnsvis for ansatte og stipendiater. De fleste studenter får bibliotekkurs som en del av sin studieplan. Dersom ikke det er tilfelle kan de melde seg på disse kursene.

Kursdatoer, påmelding og mer informasjon finnes på https://www.uib.no/ub/126018/kurs-og-veiledning#kurs-med-p-melding

Litt mer om kursene:

Introduksjon til EndNote: I kurset lærer du å bygge opp et EndNote-bibliotek og lage en referanseliste i Word. Kurset består av korte demonstrasjoner og praktiske øvelser. Kurset dekker: Lage et EndNote-bibliotek, importere referanser, manuell innlegging, lage grupper, finne fulltekst, sette inn referanser i en tekst, lage og formatere en litteraturliste.

Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase: Alle bruker PubMed, men med litt ekstra kunnskap kan du gjøre mer effektive søk. I kurset viser vi for eksempel hvordan du kan bruke emneordene MeSH, eller utnytte filtre i Clinical queries. Embase er den andre store medisinske artikkeldatabasen som dekker en del andre tidsskrifter enn PubMed/Medline. For å få et bedre overblikk over litteraturen innenfor ett fagområde er Embase er derfor et viktig supplement til PubMed.

Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter (systematic reviews): Kurset gir en introduksjon i temaet systematiske oversikter. Vi gjennomgår ulike databaser for å finne systematiske oversikter, og prosessen å selv utføre en systematisk oversikt som å skrive en protokoll, forberedelser til søking, tips og verktøy for datahåndtering og kvalitetsvurdering, og rapportering. Vi gir også informasjon om hvilken hjelp og støtte biblioteket kan gi i arbeidet med systematiske oversikter.

Short description:

Introduction to EndNote: EndNote is a tool for managing references. The course covers how to build your own EndNote library, how to use references from EndNote in the writing process with Word, formatting the text and generating literature lists.. Other functionalities like manually adding references, grouping, removing duplicates, and importing full text will also be covered.

Searching in PubMed and Embase: Everyone can use PubMed. However, with some extra knowledge you can search more efficiently. In the course we demonstrate the use of subject headings MeSH, and the use of filters for quick limiting to clinical queries (like diagnostic studies, or intervention studies). Embase is another important medical database which covers a number of different journals than PubMed/Medline. Therefore, it is a valuable supplement to PubMed, if you want to get a better overview over the literature within your field.

Introduction to systematic reviews: The course gives an introduction to systematic reviews. The library presents several databases for finding systematic reviews, and gives an overview over the process of doing your own systematic review: write a protocol, prepare the search, data management, quality appraisal, and guidelines for reporting. We will also inform about the role of the library in the different phases of the work with a systematic review.

Useful courses for handling research data

The goal of the University of Bergen is that data resulting from research activity should be made readily available for reuse in accordance with FAIR-principles. UiB Library Research Support offers following courses to help meet these requirements:

Data management Plan

The Norwegian Research Council and Horizon 2020 require projects to submit a data management plan (DMP). A data management plan describes how data in a research project will be collected, processed and made available.

The courses «Introduction to DMP” and “DMP workshop” give you a short introduction to what a data management plan is, why you need it, and how to write one.

In the workshops you will have the opportunity to work on your own DMP using a digital DMP tool, and then share your DMP with other participants and get feedback from peers and experts on your own DMP.

  • September 17th at 10:00-14:00 (introduction to DMP + workshop). Read more. Sign up here.
  • October 15th at 10:00-10:45 (introduction to DMP, in Norwegian). Sign up here.
  • November 12th at 10:00-14:00 (introduction to DMP + workshop). Read more. Sign up here.

How can you make your research data open and FAIR?

Researchers are encouraged to make their data openly available as early as possible in the research process, and most funders, e.g. Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe, and publishers require that the research data from a project is made openly available. But how can you do this in practice, and where?

In the course you will get a short introduction to how you can make your research data open and FAIR, and how to archive your data in our institutional archive UiB Open Research Data.

  • September 3rd at 10:00-11:30. Sign up here.
  • October 1st at 10:00-11:30. Sign up here.

Finding & reusing research data

Sharing and re-using quality-assured research data is considered good scientific practice. Re-using existing datasets as secondary data avoids unnecessary duplication of efforts and can inspire new avenues of research.

For example, new questions or methods can be applied to a dataset, or data from different studies or disciplines can be integrated. In this course you will learn how you can use existing datasets as a resource for your research. The course consists of three short modules, and you can participate in either or all of the modules.

  • August 27th  at 09:30–12:00. Sign up here
  • November 26th at 09:30-12:00. Sign up here

Biblioteket tilbyr kurs våren 2021 / The library offers courses spring 2021

Biblioteket tilbyr følgende kurs våren 2021. Kursene er planlagt å holdes digitalt eller som hybrid (fysisk og digitalt) i biblioteket.

– Introduksjon til EndNote
– Workshop i EndNote (spørsmål og svar)
– Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase
– Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter

Introduksjon til EndNote: I kursene gjennomgåes hvordan man kan bygge opp en egen EndNote-database med referanser man trenger til forskningen. I tillegg vises hvordan man enkelt kan bruke EndNote i skriveprosessen i Word slik at man får formaterte referanser og en automatisk generert litteraturliste. EndNote har dessuten mer funksjonalitet , f.eks. kan man gruppere referansene i EndNote, og laste inn fulltekst til artiklene og dermed lage sitt eget elektroniske bibliotek.

Workshop i EndNote: Workshopen baserer seg på spørsmål deltakerne melder inn, og kan dreie seg om funksjonalitet i EndNote, som å legge til tidsskriftforkortelser, redigere stiler eller bestille artikler rett fra EndNote, eller andre tips for effektiv bruk av programmet.

Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase: Alle bruker PubMed, men med litt ekstra kunnskap kan du gjøre mer effektive søk. I kurset viser vi for eksempel hvordan du kan bruke emneordene MeSH, eller utnytte filtre i Clinical queries. Embase er den andre store medisinske artikkeldatabasen som dekker en del andre tidsskrifter enn PubMed/Medline. Den er derfor et viktig supplement til Medline, for å få et bedre overblikk over fagets litteratur.

Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter: Kurset gir en introduksjon til temaet systematiske oversikter. Vi gjennomgår ulike databaser for å finne systematiske oversikter, og prosessen hvor man selv utfører en systematisk oversikt som å skrive en protokoll, forberedelser til søking, tips og verktøy for datahåndtering og kvalitetsvurdering, og rapportering. Vi gir også informasjon om hvilken hjelp og støtte biblioteket kan gi i arbeidet med systematiske oversikter.

Kursene er fortrinnsvis for ansatte og stipendiater. De fleste studenter får bibliotekkurs som en del av sin studieplan. Dersom ikke det er tilfelle kan de melde seg på disse kursene.

The medical library offers courses in spring 2021. Courses are planned being held digitally or as a combination of physically and digitally.

– Introduction to EndNote
– Searching in PubMed and Embase
– Introduction to systematic reviews

Introduction to EndNote: EndNote is a tool for managing references. The course covers how to build your own EndNote database, how to use references from EndNote in the writing process with Word, formatting the text and generating literature lists. Other functionalities like grouping, removing duplicates, and importing full text will also be covered.

Searching in PubMed and Embase: Everyone can use PubMed. However, with some extra knowledge you can search more efficiently. In the course we demonstrate the use of subject headings MeSH, and the use of filters for quick limiting to clinical queries like diagnostic studies, or intervention studies. Embase is another important medical database which covers a number of different journals than PubMed/Medline. Therefore, it is a valuable supplement to Medline, if you want to get a better overview over the literature within your subject.

Introduction to systematic reviews: The course gives an introduction to systematic reviews. The library presents several databases for finding systematic reviews, and gives an overview over the process of doing your own systematic review: write a protocol, prepare the search, data management, quality appraisal, and guidelines for reporting. We also inform about the role of the library in the different phases of the work with a systematic review.

The courses are mainly for employees and PhD-candidates at the Faculty of Medicine and for employees at Helse Bergen. Courses for students are normally given as a part of their study program.

Opplæringsøkter i bruk av moduler i MittUiB for undervisere i medisinstudiet

Invitasjon til alle som underviser på medisinstudiet

Det er forventet at alle undervisere i medisinstudiet har tilgang til og benytter MittUiB, og dette er spesielt viktig i en tid med mye digital undervisning. Vi vet at det varierer hvor mye de enkelte underviserne benytter MittUiB og Programutvalget for medisin vil derfor gjerne invitere alle undervisere i medisinstudiet til korte opplæringsøkter i MittUiB. Opplæringsøktene blir holdt digitalt av Harald G. Wiker, og innholdet vil tilpasses etter behovet de påmeldte har. For de tidspunktene som er satt opp nå i høst er temaet «moduler».

Det er ønskelig med påmelding via: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=9319601

Lenke til møtet blir sendt til de som er påmeldte i forkant av kurset.

For spørsmål ta kontakt med Harald.Wiker@uib.no

Hilsen
Harald G. Wiker og Dina-Kristin T. Midtflø
