Doors Open - Access to Literary Work

Literatur research

Description

Literary work is a fundamental part of scientific work. Literature work on didactic questions also presents students with a special challenge: literature must be researched and synthesised from academic, educational and practical teaching sources.

  • This course presents the basics of research and the handling of literature as well as special databases (overviews of databases of certain subjects: chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, geography) in the form of short video tutorials in order to enable a quick and individual refresher or supplementation of previous knowledge on literary work.
  • This course offers the opportunity to individually improve literature research skills. Video tutorials can be used on the following topics:
    • Basics of literature research (keyword search, citation, etc.)
    • Overview of general databases
    • Overviews of databases of certain subjects (chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, geography)
    • Introduction to working with selected databases

Goals

Get to know subject-specific databases and learn literature research techniques for the subjects chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics & geography.

Target group: Students and freshmen in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics and geography
