Save time! Improve your search and reference management skills at classes sponsored by the NIH Library.

Classes are free, hands-on, open to NIH/HHS staff, and held in the Training Room on the first floor of the NIH Library. The Library is located near the South Entrance of Building 10.

Registration is required for all classes. To register, click the links under "Class List by Name/Register."

If you are unable to attend a class, consider an individual tutorial. Sign up through the Request a Tutorial webpage.

We look forward to seeing you!

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

EndNote: Managing Your Search Results
Use EndNote® to import and organize references, insert references in manuscripts, and create bibliographies.

PubMed: Understanding the Basics

Use PubMed to find articles on your research topic in biomedical and scientific journals. PubMed is the National Library of Medicine's premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine and preclinical sciences, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine and the health care system. It includes journal article citations and abstracts from MEDLINE and other sources. Many of the citations lead to full-text articles available online through NIH Library subscription agreements. Scopus: Identifying Who's Citing Whom Search by topic, store search requests, create email alerts, and identify which authors are being cited. Scopus™ is an interdisciplinary database that indexes thousands of journals in the social sciences, psychology, business, management, the physical sciences, engineering, the earth and environmental sciences, and the life and health sciences. Sequence Analysis: Making Sense of DNA and Protein Sequences In this class, we will find a gene within a eukaryotic DNA sequence. We will then predict the function of the implied protein product by seeking sequence similarities to proteins of documented function using BLAST and other tools. Finally, we will find a 3D modeling template for this protein sequence using a Conserved Domain Database Search. During the first hour, an instructor will walk you through an analysis of an uncharacterized genomic sequence from a GenBank record. During the second hour of the class, you will perform the same analysis on another genomic sequence.
