Check out two new Database Tips Blog posts: Scopus Brackets for Acronyms and Building a Database Creature!

 

Frankenstein's monster's head

A shameless plug to check out two new tips from MLA's User Experience (UX) Caucus' Database Tips blog (the second of which is by yours truly). 

Tip #69: Scopus Brackets for Acronyms
  • “Consider using curly brackets around acronyms when searching Scopus and be careful of three-letter acronyms in filenames lest they unwittingly become file extensions.”

Tip #70: Building a (Database) Creature with the Best Features: An Unscientific Report
  • “On June 16th, 2026, the Medical Library Association User Experience Caucus hosted the networking event, ‘Building a (Database) Creature with the Best Features’, at the Library Evidence Synthesis Services Symposium. During this event, more than sixty evidence synthesis librarians across disciplines assembled in an unscientific effort to cobble together their dream database platform based on the ones they search every day.”

Happy searching! ☕
