In Plain Sight: New Blog Helps You Manage Information

The education and reference librarians at the UCSF Library have launched a new, co-authored blog, In Plain Sight. Highlighting ways to access, manage, present, and publish information, the blog is intended for faculty, researchers, clinicians, and students.

Weekly posts provide tips for:

• research (e.g., searching databases, PubMed, Google, mobile apps)
• citation management (e.g., RefWorks, EndNote)
• other relevant topics -- improving your PowerPoint presentation style; the best place to publish your research paper; understanding copyright issues.

The blog is a spin-off of the Medical Education Literature Searching blog, which is mainly targeted to the medical school population. In Plain Sight provides information that will benefit a wider, interprofessional audience.

Recent posts include:

• Re-sort PubMed Results to Reveal Hidden Gems
• Create New Records from PDF files in EndNote Version X4

We welcome your comments and suggestions as to what types of information you'd like to learn about.
