EBSCO Publishing Australasian Training Update

May 2012


"I was particularly pleased that you covered the idea of "a new row for a new concept/s" when discussing Advanced Searching. This has clarified one of my key questions about using advanced search. Thank you for a thorough session & for responding to questions as the session progressed." -- Medical Librarian
