This session will give you a thorough introduction to SAGE Research Methods, a database containing thousands of resources, dedicated to research methods across a range of subject areas. The session will cover content and tools you can use in order to improve the research skills and capabilities of your users and build your confidence and experience in using the database for future study and research projects. SAGE Research Methods can be your guide in overcoming common research challenges – whether you want to conduct more effective literature reviews, construct a manageable research question, learn how to prepare data ready for analysis, disseminate your research more widely, or understand challenging research methods terminology. Participants will have plenty of time to ask questions, so that by the end of the session, everyone will be ready to start exploring the platform independently and confidently!

JSTOR : libre accès à toutes les revues

A cause de la situation actuelle, JSTOR a offert à ces clients d’ouvrir l’accès à toutes leurs collections de revues. Les HES ont accès à toutes les collections Arts & Sciences ainsi qu’aux collections spécifique à un domaine comme la gestion, la biologie, la santé publique, l’écologie, etc. jusqu’au 30 juin 2020.

JSTOR ne peut pas ouvrir l’accès aux e-books, parce que les HES ont déjà acquis des collections d’e-books dans le passé. Mais vous avez toujours accès aux environ 6'000 e-books open access sur la plateforme de JSTOR.

Quelques fournisseurs de ressources électroniques ont ouvert l’accès aux e-books, revues ou bases de données pendant cette période de Corona pour soutenir les étudiants des hautes écoles fermées

Over the course of this year, we’ll be hosting a number of training webinars about the platform, highlighting product updates, search optimization and much more. 
The first session is coming up soon on the 30th March. And if your researchers can't make that date, it's still worth them registering now. All registrants will automatically receive a recording of the webinar, just in case they weren't able to tune in.

Full details of the webinars are below - so please feel free to circulate this to everyone involved in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry and related fields at your institution!

What will the webinar cover?

SpringerMaterials is the largest curated materials science database in the world, covering 290,000+ materials and 3,000+ physical and chemical properties in a single platform.

This webinar will show:

What SpringerMaterials is and how it can support your research
How to find materials' properties data using SpringerMaterials 
Practical examples
