Myth: "The Internet makes
information access very easy. Gone are the days when we have to struggle in libraries"
Reality: While Internet access has definitely done wonders, it has certainly not
been the panacea for information access. Very often you see a "So near and yet
so far" phenomenon. You get references, but not abstracts or full articles. You
get wonderful abstracts, but the original article is not in English. You know
that a journal you need is in "Library X" but hey - you are in India, and the
library is in Australia! Do remember that libraries may occasionally oblige, but
most often will charge for services and in dollars.
With the volume of medical
literature increasing at a tremendous pace, retrieving relevant information without
loss of time requires specialised searching skills. We conduct training programs
for health professionals that will help them in enhancing such skills. Our programs
focus on practical issues like narrowing or broadening a search, receiving regular
updates and getting complete articles. Training
