Library Services’ Education and Training opportunities this winter

We keep in mind health care workers' busy schedules, offering sessions on a variety of dates and times. There is sure to be a session suitable for you. Register for one or several classes below, offered from January through March:

• Accessing Full Text
  It can be challenging enough to find the journal articles that you need, but then accessing the full text of the article can also be difficult. Library Services pays for several subscriptions to give you access to many articles. This session will help you access them. The session will also help you get the full text of articles to which Library Services doesn’t provide access.
• Anatomy.TV
  Anatomy.TV provides a moveable 3D model of the human body that allows you to explore different layers of various body systems. The diagrams include annotations to help you learn more about specific body parts. Learn how to navigate this powerful tool to improve your understanding of human anatomy.
• Copyright à la carte (on demand)
  Do you or your team need an introduction to copyright? Maybe you need a refresher on how copyright applies to your work with Nova Scotia Health? We can cover the copyright topics that matter to you, at a time that works for you. Suggested topics include copyright basics for content creators, finding free-to-use images, and when, how and why you need to get permission to reuse content. Reach out to Copyright@nshealth.ca to schedule a session.
• Developing Patient Education Pamphlets
  This session highlights how easy-to-read and up-to-date patient education materials can support patient care and safety. Learn how to get started, what is involved in developing and updating pamphlets, and how to find, use and share pamphlets effectively.
• Find it Fast with Library Services Online
  This session focuses on navigating core library tools and resources, including the catalogue, ejournals and ebooks, and databases.
• Get the most from your literature search request NEW
  Do you need help finding best evidence on a particular research topic? Library Services offers a literature search service for all Nova Scotia Health employees. Before submitting your request there are some helpful tips to consider ensuring a seamless literature search request experience.
• Intro to LMS: Creating an eLearning Course
  This session introduces the process and standards you will need to follow to ensure your online course reflects high quality content with optimal readability and performance in Nova Scotia Health’s LMS.
• Patient Education Pamphlets for Administrative Professionals
  Administrative professionals play a vital role in helping patients and their support persons get the information they need to navigate our health care system. This session will go over how to find Nova Scotia Health patient pamphlets, how to order, print and share pamphlets in your service area and how to ensure materials in your area are kept up to date.
