March 2013 - Library Traineeship

Graduate Traineeship

 

 

It has been a great learning curve throughout these two months. Initially I felt so overwhelmed with information and got very excited to learn everything. But looks like I am feeling much better now as learning is a gradual process and I can only grasp step by step.

I am very grateful to my supervisor, Jayshree Mamtora, for being so patient with me.

I have learnt to search Summon- search engine which searches across everything within library-online or full text, limit by date, content, save to folder and export according to different style guides. The most interesting part is how the reference information can be exported ..waw so cool!

Databases: Cinahl plus-advance search: search strategy, key words, broad search, narrow, limiters, etc, folders, and export options.
