Doing a literature search

Abstract

This resource supports the 'Understanding Educational Enquiry' module of the University of Birmingham’s PG Cert, created as part of the JISC/HEA-funded DELILA project; it also stands alone for any user wanting to do a literature review in their area. Using an automated demo created using Captivate software, the recording uses a medical example to highlight the use of keywords, synonyms, truncators and limiters - to find journal articles on the University of Birmingham's eLibrary (Metalib) system.
