    What's going on with my search? Database quirks and expert searching

    Whether you're developing a complex search strategy for a systematic review or just trying to focus and refine a tricky search, the idiosyncrasies of commonly-used databases can really throw a wrench in your work.


    Fortunately, there's help! Kate Saylor (University of Michigan) and Andy Hickner (Weill Cornell), from the MLA UX Caucus, will share information about the UX Caucus's work, introduce the UX Caucus Database Tips blog, talk about how to effectively investigate and troubleshoot resource problems, and demonstrate some of the top tips that have been shared to date.


    You don't want to miss this informative look at the UX Caucus's "bite-sized tips for expert searchers"!


    This FREE webinar will be held Wednesday, October 26 2022, 2-3:30pm EST. A recording will be available after the event. To find out more, please visit: https://guides.lib.umich.edu/TaubmanTalks/UXDatabaseTips
