Courses
The NTNU Library offer many courses (both physical and digital) and help/guidance for single persons and groups. A list of our courses (e.g. in AI use, good citation practice, EndNote, Zotero, LaTex/BibLaTex, academic writing, NVivo, open science and open data and more) can be found in the course calendar.
The Øya Library in Trondheim, The Gjøvik Library and The Ålesund Library offers help and guidance from librarians with experience in the medicine and health disciplines. We can offer tailored courses in structured literature searching, using different databases and reference management tools (EndNote, Zotero). The Medicine and Health Library is in charge of the obligatory PhD-course SMED8008 - Reviewing and disseminating research (7,5 SP) (previously SMED8007 – Scientific publishing and research communication (5 SP)).
All local courses this semester are in Norwegian. Check the Norwegian Subject Page for a list. There are several English language courses each semester in The Virtual Library.
