As the Fall semester begins, the Hirsh Health Sciences Library is ready to launch the next series of Open Workshops! These workshops will cover many different research topics, such as learning how to begin a literature search, managing your citations with EndNote, learning about open access, and more. See our Open Workshops page for more information, including complete workshop descriptions and schedules. We have a few new ones on tap this year!
Workshops will be held in Sackler 510 on Tuesdays from 9-10am and repeated on Wednesdays from 3-4pm. Here’s our September schedule:
Approaching the Lit Review
Tuesday 9/5 and Wednesday 9/6
In this workshop, students will learn how to approach the literature review. Topics covered include database selection, devising effective search techniques, limiting articles to relevant study-types, and tools for keeping track of results.
Get Your Stuff Together
Tuesday 9/12 and Wednesday 9/13
Start the new academic year of right! A little organization now will save you a lot of time and effort in the future. In this workshop, we will show you how to: name and organize your files and documents for easy access; manage multiple versions of a file; and store and backup files during your project.
Special Event: Stress Less, Learn More
Wednesday 9/20 3-4pm
Please join us for a special workshop co-presented with Sharon Gendron from Student Wellness Advising. We’ll discuss ways to integrate a healthy lifestyle with effective habits for academic research so that you can stress less and learn more!
Introduction to Citation Management Tools
Tuesday 9/26 and Wednesday 9/27
Citation management tools help you manage the research process by allowing you to store and organize references, as well as automatically generate in-text citations and bibliographies in a variety of citation styles, such as APA and AMA and so much more!
And don’t forget about our Workshops on Demand. If you and your colleagues are interested in a workshop, but cannot attend due to a conflicting schedule, you can now request a Workshop on Demand: just let us know what your group is interested in, and we’ll create a workshop that works for you!
If you have any questions about Open Workshops, or Workshops on Demand, please call the library service desk at 617-636-6705, or email us at hhsl@tufts.edu.

They talk about factors in the survival of Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, in ticks and mice. @TuftsLyme https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/mic.0.001286

Something about the way skiers accelerate and stop, or jostle, seems to set Apple’s crash-detection technology on high alert. And skiers, helmeted and wrapped in clothing, often fail to detect the warning or the call from the 911 dispatcher. https://nyti.ms/3HoWSZ6
