Access to content via Research4Life

Many times we have brought up the importance of using Research4Life to access resources which are behind paywalls. In May 2024 we looked especially at databases and collections within the subject field of Medicine available in Research4Life .

In October 2024 we were planning to have a follow up workshop about access to PubMed content. Unfortunately the workshop had to be cancelled due to the events after the elections in Mozambique.

The workshop presentation (Access to articles) includes some facts and figures showing how many more articles you will access if you search PubMed via Research4Life. It also includes some exercises exemplifying how the way to access the resources will decide the number of articles available for you at UEM and in Mozambique.

The intended participants of the workshop were the librarians at the Central library of UEM who work with e-resources. The presentation, or parts of it, could also be helpful when the UEM librarians reach out to their users.

Resources for PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine : which they are and how to use them

In May 2024 the library at UEM was asked if they could train the PhD students of the Faculty of Medicine. We prepared this training with a workshop for the UEM librarians in Zoom.

During the workshop we used a powerpoint presentation, "Resources for the PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine : Which they are and how to use them"

In addition to this powerpoint we looked at the training materials from Research4Life. We used and referred to their powerpoint "Additional discipline-specific resources : Health sciences". Find this powerpoint at the Librarians hub at Research4Life
