    Save the date and call for proposals: Favorite Features & Sneaky Solutions: Database Tips Lightning Round

    The User Experience and Systematic Review Caucuses of the Medical Library Association welcome proposals from expert searchers to present at the March 2026 Favorite Features & Sneaky Solutions event!

    Unleash your search superpowers and inspire your colleagues! Past presenters have demonstrated how to master tricky truncation in ProQuest, decode Embase field codes, and deploy special characters in PubMed. They've also shared their wisdom about finding articles on ethical issues and using RSS feeds. Need more inspiration? Check out the lightning rounds from October 2024 and February 2025!

    Essential proposal details:

    1. You must be an MLA member to present (but not to attend).

    2. You'll have 10 minutes to demonstrate your feature or solution. There will be time for Q&A.

    3. We only need a couple of brief sentences about your topic!

    4. Submit your lightning round proposal via our online form by Friday, January 28.
