Exciting New Resource

Find the Answers - videos on time - saving tools for medical questions

A series of YouTube videos on finding clinical information using library search tools has just been created by the University of Toronto, Gerstein Library.  These short videos, ranging in length from 3 to 10 minutes, are informative and easy to understand.  Although they are directed toward medical students, any health professional, resident or faculty will find these useful.

    * Need an answer to a specific clinical problem?
"Find the Answers to PBL Scenarios", a 5-part series, provides information on searching specialized search tools such as PubMed Clinical Queries and distilled or point-of-care resources that are evidence-based.

    * Need to do a comprehensive search?
"Find the Answers to Research Questions" provides an organized and systematic approach to doing a comprehensive search. 

Other videos include Uploading Citations to RefWorks, Find Articles from Web of Science, and Finding Fulltext Articles from a Citation.

To easily find all 18 videos, go to the YouTube website - www.youtube.com.  Enter "gerstein library find the asnwers" in the search box. After clicking on "Find the answers" in the results, note the link to "gersteinlibrary 18 videos".
