Pharmacy Research Online. A Guide for Faculty.
Parkin, Derral; And Others
This document is a self-paced training packet developed for a pilot project at the University of Houston-University Park to teach pharmacy faculty members to do their own online searching. The training begins with general topics such as the kinds of searches that can be done effectively online, the selection of appropriate databases to search, and the use of documentation. Basic search concepts such as database structure, Boolean operations, and search strategy formulation are also covered. Exercises give the opportunity for hands-on practice searching DIALOG databases and Chemical Abstracts (CAS) online. Separate handouts provided include an introduction to the pilot project; procedures for searching pharmacy reports online; summaries of basic and CAS commands on DIALOG and Boolean operators; a search strategy worksheet; and an evaluation form.
