Identifying Information Gaps in Published and Ongoing Research Online

This session is part of the Information in Action series, brought to you by Dalhousie Libraries, Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit (MSSU) and Nova Scotia Health Library Services.

How can we keep up with the rapid pace of information creation? Navigating the online information environment can be intimidating, even more so during a time of pandemic. In this session, we will discuss the skills you need to help you keep on top of emerging knowledge and identify information gaps. You will learn about unnecessary research duplication and how to avoid it, effectively framing a research question, searching for academic literature, and identifying research that has not yet been published. 

Learning Objectives

• Understand what unnecessary research duplication is and how to avoid it
• Identify different types of research questions
• Build a searchable research question 
• Identify and organize key search concepts
• Identify appropriate sources of published and unpublished research evidence
