The
National Library of Health Sciences - Terkko
is the research library of the
Medical Faculty of the
University of Helsinki.
It also functions as a scientific
library for the Helsinki University Central Hospital (HUCH). Terkko is also
a national resource library in medicine and health sciences, and has been
designated as a WHO Information Service Centre in Finland.
User education
Terkko
offers user training services by arranging courses and informative
meetings.
Courses can be tailored
(on e.g. use of medical databases, WHO information services and Internet searches)
to serve the special needs of customers.
The training focuses on information retrieval in databases, electronic
journals and other digital sources, but the latest trends and technologies can
be also displayed.
In user training the students are initiated into the information resources
used by the library customers (Medline, EBM, e-journals etc.) and various
tools of managing electronic resources (reference management, current
awareness).
Courses are usually held in Finnish, but they can also be given in
Swedish or
English.
The
courses scheduled for Autumn 2006 are available in Finnish only.
Informative presentations of Terkko´s electronic services (1-2
hours)
Informative presentations
are arranged by the Library to demonstrate Terkko´s electronic services for the staff of
HU (Helsinki University) and HUCH (Helsinki University Central Hospital).
The
research and working groups are welcome to an 1-2 hour presentation of
the digital services including also questions and discussions about using these
services.
