Description

This programme is aimed at nurses and midwives who would like to develop their information seeking skills in order to avail of the most up-to-date information for clinical practice, reflection and policy development. This programme will assist participants who are undertaking academic programmes and will provide them with valuable lifelong skills in information literacy. Guidance will be provided on the use of keywords, Boolean logic, and limiting and broadening of results. The programme involves a practical element whereby participants will have the opportunity to develop a search strategy and use it to search a database. Strategies for the evaluation and critique of online resources will be discussed.
