Learning unit contents
The objective of this theoretical and practical training is to optimize adequate scientific information search in the field of biomedical sciences, making the best use of the different resources and tools available in libraries and on the web.
Acquired knowledge and skills will prove useful during university education and professional career.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This training will enable students to determine the extent of information needed and access the needed information effectively and efficiently.
This training involves a two-pronged approach:
- a theoretical part, which will enable students (i) to describe the interest and functioning principles of the different resources and tools serving to optimize scientific information search, and (ii) to highlight the importance of critically assessing any information before using it;
- a practical part, which will allow students (i) to test and get used to those tools in order to acquire the necessary independence to meet the numerous needs for information in the course of their studies and, later, during their professional life, (ii) to develop critical approach on available information.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
There are no prerequisites, even if computer literacy and a good knowledge of scientific English features are major assets.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is organized in such a way that everybody can participate actively.
It will consist in in-person classes and practical work or in preparations.
More practical information will be given during the first course session.
