Basic principles of Literature searching - Module 1 7 February 2025 10:00 - 11:00

You will learn what to look for when searching for (academic) information online, how to assess the value of a source, and in what ways "biases" can influence method and interpretations.

This beginner's course is a must for anyone without any knowledge of academic literature. Description: this is an entry-level workshop. A logical follow-up is Module 2, where you will learn to set up a search strategy.

You will learn to:
•    make reasoned choices when searching for information;
•    recognize the values of (academic) information;
•    formulate an informed opinion about the accessibility of information to the public;
•    think about how your own biases can influence method and interpretation.

Already familiar with the basics of literature review?
Then consider Module 2 (setting up search strategy) or Module 3 (reflecting and improving your strategy) for more in-depth information and advice.

What students say about this workshop:
"This course helps a lot! You make it clear and easy for me to understand"
