About the Session The morning portion of this session will take you through the process of asking a clear clinical question and translating that question into a logical search in biomedical databases. PubMed will be used as an example. In the afternoon, we'll focus on understanding the PRESS Guideline Statement <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27005575> and using it with colleagues to review the integrity of search strategies. There will be a break mid-day. At the end of this session, participants will be able to confidently: * Focus a clinical research question * Translate a clinical research question into key search concepts * Run searches using appropriate syntax and Boolean logic * Understand and apply the PRESS Guideline Statement Katie McLean, BA LIT MLIS AHIP Librarian Educator, Staff Training & Education Nova Scotia Health Authority Halifax area, Eastern Shore, West Hants Please Note: I am temporarily located at the Halifax Infirmary site<https://library.nshealth.ca/Home/Contact#s-lg-box-14078944> Phone (office): 902-473-3118 https://library.nshealth.ca<https://library.nshealth.ca/>
