15. Scholars Portal MEMS Surgery Results ebrary hidden treasures! SP useful for knowing WHERE to do a more detailed search
21. NOTE: Xplore and OVID (next slides) have simultaneous user limits – remember to log out! (EV2-Inspec & Compendex, ProQuest and Web of Science do NOT have limits – but DO still logout please).
22. Option 2 of Medline recommended; also, CINAHL good for social aspects.
23. MeSH default is ON; HSC librarians recommend on, so you use best retrieval vocabulary. Useful to “explode” the “trees” in the MeSH hierarchy to get the TOTALLY BEST search terms. I usually ALSO include the “X as keyword” search option.
