I have so much to learn about informatics and can see how this will help me throughout this program and in my practice.
I used PubMed search data base and I learned how to use the MeSH data base in PubMed and found it easy to use for me giving me a better way to obtain a more detailed citation list. I have never used the MeSH portion of PubMed before because I felt it was too confusing. I will use it now.
I felt the guideline index was too broad and limited as to the subjects I was looking for. Not as user friendly as PubMed.
I did go onto Google scholar and was impressed. I always thought it was not professional. I found it easy to use and not as technical as PubMed. I also used the Google alert for articles that went with my clinical problem. Some of the article references forwarded to me were not really applicable to what I asked for.
I really enjoyed the articles from about find reliable information on the web. Very informative not just for the academic world, but for the public as well. You have no know what your looking at and not just take it as the truth. You can not believe everything you read, many things written there are not truly credible.
Good module. I really needed it and feel more confident with PubMed and EndNote.

Surprisingly, I have sometimes been given the option of searching Google scholar through EBSCO host- University database - when the full text is not available, and actually found the full text in Google scholar
Thanks I will use Google Scholar and add it to my search strategies.
