Workshop: Understanding MeSH terms

MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is a controlled vocabulary developed by the United States National Library of Medicine. It is used by many important databases such as  PubMed, MedLine, APA PsychInfo, and CINAHL to classify the articles they index.

At the end of this workshop participants will know how the MeSH controlled vocabulary works and leave with strategies for using the terms to enhance their search results. We will also cover the differences in how each of the major life science databases incorporate MeSH into their indexing.
