Description
Practical and easy-to-use, this text effectively introduces different sources of information and how to use them. Its unique format is
meant to increase the user's awareness of available health-related references and to help the user understand techniques involved in
undertaking a literature search. Such knowledge aids in demystifying the jargon associated with computer-based research and helps readers
carry out searches efficiently and effectively.
Audience
The market is very wide and could easily include all health care providers: medics, nurses and allied health. It is for those studying
at all levels. The reviewers have suggested that it will be particularly to undergraduates and to those returning to work or to study
after some time away from it.
