Databases
This course introduces bibliographic research using PubMed, an elective database for medicine produced by the National Library of Medicine.
Its extension and free availability make it a valuable reference for consultation and updating and also beneficial in professional practice.

Bibliographic Management
Zotero is a reference management software useful for importing bibliographic references, creating and organizing your archive, inserting citations into text, and automatically producing a bibliography.
The Pinali Library offers "Zotero for Bibliography Management" courses. When registering, we recommend choosing "All Areas" as the disciplinary area to have more options, from all over the Library System.
Please notice that some libraries also offer this course in English, and you can attend the one you prefer because the contents do not change in different areas.
Programming and Registration
Guest users with an SBA card can register by filling out this form or by contacting the library by writing to formazione.pinali@unipd.it.
Please note that you will be asked to complete a Satisfaction Questionnaire at the end of the course.
