Flash Sessions will show you how to organize your references, create a targeted bibliography in a short period of time using EndNote, use a free screening tool for systematic reviews (Rayyan), get mobile apps (like UpToDate) for free, and so much more – in 15 minutes or less!
On the first Thursday of each month, join expert librarians for quick overviews on popular topics. No RSVP required. Light refreshments will be served.
