MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT ONLINE SEARCHING
Thanks to Health Sciences Library UNCCH
MYTH: Computers will look for everything relevant to tie idea being searched.
You will only retrieve the exact word you specify. Think of synonyms for the ideas in your search. Iodexers for Medline
and Nursing literature databases assign subject headings to each article. Use this vocabulary by searching on these terms (press
F10 in Grateful Med or F5 in CD-ROM searches).
MYTH: Zero results means there are no articles on the subject.
This may mean that the citations are just not worded or indexed the way you searched for them; be skeptical of "NONE"
or "0" postings.
MYTH: Medline includes all of the world's health sciences literature.
Medline covers about 4000 journals. There are many thousands more health sciences journals. Medline does not contain
book chapters, many abstracts of papers presented at meetings or book reviews.
If you have any questions about Grateful Med, CD-ROM databases or Medline, please call the Hospital Library 4484.
We would like to work with you (or your study group) to effectively use these tools.
