The Responsible Literature Searching for Research course is now available exclusively through Learn @ HSLS.
This classic self-paced program was created by HSLS to guide clinical researchers through the fundamentals of conducting a responsible literature search to support research practice.
Learners can access asynchronous lessons on such topics as:
- Accepted practices and principles for biomedical literature searches
- Types of biomedical literature and their roles in the literature review process
- Information resources and services available through HSLS
- Searching for information on drug safety and harm
Learners can proceed through all nine modules or choose only selected modules to complete. Instructors, if you’re thinking about assigning this course to students in your health sciences class, please contact us; we can help you to decide if this is the right resource to use or if we can tailor the content to better fit the needs of your students. To learn more, talk to your liaison librarian or contact us at Ask a Librarian.
Course content was developed by HSLS with support from a contract granted through a cooperative agreement between the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Office of Research Integrity of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HSLS’s application was sponsored by the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries. The primary content developer was Charles Wessel, MLS, HSLS Librarian Emeritus.
Continuing education credits are not available through this course.
