Book description
The distinguishing feature of this pocket-sized searching skills book,
like all the Toolkit series titles, is its user-friendliness. The
guiding principle is that readers do not want to become librarians, but
they are faced with practical difficulties when searching for evidence,
such as lack of skills, lack of time and information overload. They need
to learn simple search skills, and be directed towards the right
resources to find the best evidence to support their decision-making.
A user-friendly, Hands-On guide to literature searching, which is an
essential skill for all involved in health care research and
development, researchers, and students from all disciplines.
