Information Literacy 2: setting up a literature search strategy

Share

Learn to set up a search strategy from your topic selection to executing your strategy. What steps are useful, and what to pay attention to. Learning to combine search terms effectively is part of this.

Also the usefulness of a logbook is explained and how you can (partly) manage it.
The workshop is also suitable as a refresher.

You learn to:

  • Inform yourself about the availability of academic information;
  • Select and assess appropriate sources;
  • What criteria help you determine the reliability (or importance) of information;
  • Set up and execute a reasoned search strategy

Are you already proficient with search strategies, combine and want to improve your search strategy?
Then consider taking module 3 (reflecting on and improving your strategy) for more in-depth information and advice.

Certificate
Do you want to earn an Edubadge (online certificate)? In order to obtain this edubadge, the participant is required to fully and actively participate in modules 2 and/ or 3. In addition, all homework assignments must have been completed.
