Dear Colleagues,

 

There are only three weeks left to book a place on the following training course:

 

Identifying Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies: Challenges and Strategies (3rd June 2016, University of York) www.yhec.co.uk/training/identifying-dta-studies/

 

This training day will provide an introduction to the key features of diagnostic test accuracy studies to provide insight into retrieval challenges. This will be followed by an overview of the research evidence on search approaches to identify diagnostic studies and the key current resources available to find studies and reviews. In this fast-moving research area we will explore current searching guidance and highlight key critical appraisal tools for assessing diagnostic test accuracy studies. There will be time to explore and test strategies and resources.

 

By the end of the training day, participants will have:

 

• An awareness of the features of a diagnostic test accuracy study;
• An understanding of the key issues relating to effective searching for diagnostic test accuracy studies;
• An awareness of the key resources to search for diagnostic test studies and diagnostic reviews;
• Some experience of developing strategies and searching key resources.

 

Who should attend?

 

This study day would be of interest to librarians, information professionals and researchers seeking more insight into the identification of diagnostic test accuracy studies and reviews.

 

Price: £250 (plus £50 VAT). The course can be booked directly through this link and any queries can be directed to [log in to unmask]

 

Kind regards,

 

Julie Glanville
