Unlocking Grey Literature: Coherent Digital Modules for Educators
The Alumni Medical Library will showcase Coherent Digital, a new and expanded collection of searchable modules designed to support the discovery and use of grey literature in academic and clinical contexts. Coherent Digital brings together a wide range of non-traditional materials, including policy documents, clinical guidelines, technical reports, multimedia and more, into an accessible platform tailored for health sciences education and research. During the session, we will demonstrate effective search strategies, highlight key features, and share practical tips for navigating the database to find relevant, high-quality grey literature. Whether you’re developing curriculum, guiding student research, or seeking evidence to inform best practices, this tool offers a streamlined way to engage with critical information beyond traditional scholarly communication channels. |
