October 14 | Google Scholar
What does Google Scholar offer? Who can best make use of it? How does it compare with proprietary databases? What effect does search strategy have on results? Google makes a wide variety of different applications available to users. As well as being free, many of them are fun, engaging, useful, or all three. Join Rita Moss, Davis Library Business/Economics Librarian, for a brown-bag lunch presentation and discussion on the search features and coverage accessible through Google Scholar. |

Journal Impact Factor Join K. T. Vaughan, UNC Health Sciences Library, for a discussion of IF and how it relates to tenure and promotion. "The impact factor, often abbreviated IF, is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors deemed to be more important than those with lower ones." |
