Public Health Information Literacy Certificate Course Now Available for Fall 2020

UAB Libraries is pleased to announce that the Public Health Information Literacy Certificate Course (Category B, non-credit) is now available on Canvas for the Fall Semester 2020! Led by UAB Libraries Liaison to the School of Public Health, Kay Hogan Smith, MLS, MPH, the course consists of eight sessions (see below) with a supplementary advanced search techniques module.

  • Library research basics/introduction to medical literature database searching
  • Citing sources/EndNote
  • Social sciences/health policy resources
  • Health statistics/data sets
  • Grey literature/test instruments
  • Systematic reviews in public health
