HINARI Program User Training Videos now Available

Submitted by Lenny Rhine, FMLA, Gainesville, FL

Based on the HINARI Short Course, the new training material contains five videos:  What the HINARI Programme is, How to find full text of an article in HINARI, How to search PubMed through HINARI, How to conduct advanced PubMed searching and How to resolve resource access problems.  For each video and accompanying audio file, there is a text transcription and quiz.

If a user only watches the videos, the material can be completed in 30 minutes (although we also recommend doing the self-assessment quizzes).   From http://hinaritraining.org/ , individuals can go directly to the training material or, due to bandwidth limitations, order a free CD and or download the training package.
This material is quite useful for training users and staff – to obtain the baseline skills necessary for using HINARI to access full-text documents.  It can be done either by retrieving the material online or on a local workstation (CD or downloaded files).

The modules were developed and will be updated by Megan von Isenburg, Duke Medical Center Library and Marc Sperber, Duke Global Health Institute, USA
