The Library and Information Directorate conducted a research day for students at the Library
Department on 4th April 2022 thru MS-Team from 12pm to 1pm related to the exploration of
various electronic databases to which we are subscribers.
These electronic databases contain numerous types of learning resources that are necessary
and useful for student learning. There is a general feeling that direct interaction with students
will help the students in browsing, accessing, downloading, and retrieving learning material
from the resources to which the university subscribes.
The librarian provided a special training on using our databases which Ahlia University has
subscribed, the training will cover the following areas:
1. Introduction to the databases.
2. Demonstration of how to search through examples, covering all interface and
functionality offered by the service providers.
3. Explanation of the different search methods to extract the information from the
databases.
4. Overview of one (or both) platform(s)
5. How to view, access and download content, make use of improved search
functionalities as well as other tools
6. Q&A session at the end of the training
