Course: Information Resources & Literature Searching

This course will help me to be specific for my literature search in future, and of course reduce time. I liked the detailed explanation, and practical demonstration with examples and also got to know more resources. Deepali Pandhare, Pharmacology.

Course: Introduction to Referencing
The course provided clear, relevant, and actionable information that directly addressed the question, helping to solve the problem effectively. The practical examples and step-by-step explanations were especially helpful in applying the concepts of Referencing. Nagu Bansode, Assistant Librarian, GMC Dharashiv
