Welch Library Classes

Welch Medical Library is offering a free class this week on May 13, from 9 a.m. to noon, in the Welch Library Mezzanine. Writing Effective Abstracts provides an opportunity to learn practical guidelines for producing an abstract that really works, is informative, interesting and concise. Both well-written and flawed examples will be analyzed to discover what editors and readers expect to see in the abstract of a research manuscript and to learn how to avoid common pitfalls.

Pre-registration is required for the classes. To register, go to www.welch.jhu.edu/classes/freeclassregistration.cfm.
