In this session, attendees will learn:
How to start your search using seminal articles
Selecting databases

Search translation
Keeping track of your searches
Refining / improving your searches
Considerations for searching the grey literature

Registration required: https://fsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcpf-qurTguGtOKPhmJxYLXlU3Q9aP2j62q
The programming committee decided to expand the forum from one hour to ninety minutes to allow adequate time for both presentation and discussion. We will record the presentation portion, which we estimate will take up the first hour, and turn the recording off for discussion.
After the forum, the recording and slides will be posted on the ACRL HSIG research guide and sent out to the ACRL HSIG listserv and all registrants.
