Searching Skills Toolkit by Caroline De Brún
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.
A userfriendly, HandsOn guide to literature searching, which is an essential skill for all involved in health care research and development, researchers, and students from all disciplines( Companies and products -- Data , 9 February 2013) Very useful. The authors are clearly experts in searching and they fill a gap in the market: there is no comparable book on 'the searching of the evidence.' ... [I] recommend this book to doctors who want to learn basic searching skills. As a medical information specialist I keep it in my pocket too. ( Laika's MedLibLog , March 2010)
