It's time to take your research to the next level! 🚀 In April, the Scientific Library will be offering free training in response to a request from the students. This course is a direct result of the discussion that took place during the meeting between the Student Council and RUDN Rector, Oleg Yastrebov. What awaits you? The program is 16 academic hours long (theory + practice). You won't just be listening to lectures; you'll actually learn how to work with professional databases. 🗓 Format: Online (Telemost) 🕓 Time: Wednesdays, 4:30 PM (April–May) Course content and schedule: Lecture 1: Scientific Library digital services: Quick Search service, proxy server.
