Welch Library Workshop

The Welch Library is offering two free classes on Sept. 27 in Lab 1 of the 2024 Monument Building. From 10 a.m. to noon, the Library 101 workshop will teach participants how to use the JHMI libraries more effectively. Topics include accessing the libraries' 3,300+ full-text journals from home or office, locating books and journals within the JHU libraries and using Weldoc and the new JHU libraries catalog to request books and journal articles.

From 1 to 4 p.m., an introduction to PubMed: Beginning will help new searchers build basic skills. PubMed is the National Library of Medicine's search service that provides free access to more than 13 million citations in Medline. It offers links to many online publications and related articles. Searchers will learn how to use the History, Clipboard, and Details features, as well as the Citation Matcher to locate incomplete citations. They will also learn how to save searches and use Lonesome Doc in conjunction with Weldoc.

Registration is required. Forms can be downloaded from www.welch.jhu.edu/classes/regform.pdf and, when completed, faxed to 410-614-3810. For a list of other free classes offered by the Welch Library, go to www.welch.jhu.edu/classes/biomed.cfm.
