This advanced class presupposes knowledge of basic PubMed searching.
The class will provide an overview on using HSLS and NLM resources. The class will discuss database searching for drug information, as well as uses for drug encyclopedias such as Micromedex to search for specific properties of drugs. Resources for clinical and research use of drugs will be included. Sources for Drug Evidence Alerts, calculations and interactions will also be covered.
It can be complicated to find information in support of health equity research in scholarly databases due to outdated keywords, complex controlled vocabulary, changes in the language used by researchers, and bias in classification.
During this class, we discuss strategies and resources for researching health disparities and social determinants of health. This workshop is ideal for those with some database searching experience who want to learn the specific skills needed to search for concepts related to health equity research.

Librarians spend a lot of time searching online databases -- and not just PubMed! We can generally sit down with a new database and run a pretty good literature search within a very short amount of time. Why? It's because we have learned generalizable skills that can be used in our research databases (and we also practice the skills every chance we get).
Literature searches for the "3R’s" -- Refinement, Reduction, and Replacement -- are required for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocols that include animals covered by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and that are classified in the USDA Pain Classifications D or E. This session will cover the regulations and provide tips for searching the literature. (subject matter: animal subjects)
Researchers using warm-blooded species (other than birds, mice of the genus Mus, and rats of the genus Rattus) classified in the USDA Pain Classification D or E are required to conduct a literature review addressing the 3Rs: Refinement, Reduction, and Replacement. This session will provide tips for searching the literature and meeting the IACUCs requirements.
