SUMMARY:UNCG Libraries Webinar: Governance Indexes
DESCRIPTION:“Governance Indexes” by Rachel Olsen\, Wednesday March 25 at 12pm  \nGovernance indexes are composite measures that assess how effectively institutions govern\, based on political\, legal\, and administrative indicators. These unique sources of information can be extremely useful but are also complicated and sometimes controversial. In this session\, we will look at several different examples of governance indexes (as well as other index types) and also discuss how to evaluate and cite these tools. No matter what your level of familiarity with this type of source might be\, you are invited to join us and learn more. \n\n\nSign Up

SUMMARY:UNCG Libraries Webinar: The new AI-powered tools for scholarly literature discovery
DESCRIPTION:“The new AI-powered tools for scholarly literature discovery” by Steve Cramer\, Tuesday March 24 at 12pm – \nLearn about some of the AI-augmented databases for research discovery and citation analysis. Examples include Scite\, Research Rabbit\, Consensus\, Undermind\, and Elicit. These tools allow researchers to search by semantics (concepts)\, map scholarly networks\, provide context for citations\, and/or evaluate citation patterns. How useful – and appropriate — are these tools for literature reviews? How do they compare to older tools like Google Scholar\, EBSCO\, and ProQuest? And are they worth your money? (Note: I have full access to Scite\, but will use free versions of the other products.) \n\n\nSign Up

SUMMARY:UNCG Libraries Webinar: UpToDate for Clinical and Patient Education
