ABSTRACT: Enhancing retrieval of best evidence for health care from bibliographic databases: calibration of the hand search of the literature.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Medical practitioners have unmet information needs. Health care research dissemination suffers from both "supply" and "demand" problems. One possible solution is to develop methodologic search filters ("hedges") to improve the retrieval of clinically relevant and scientifically sound study reports from bibliographic databases. To develop and test such filters a hand

ABSTRACT: Evaluating information skills training in health libraries: a systematic review.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Systematic reviews have shown that there is limited evidence to demonstrate that the information literacy training health librarians provide is effective in improving clinicians' information skills or has an impact on patient care. Studies lack measures which demonstrate validity and reliability in evaluating the impact of training. AIM: To determine what measures
