Why and How to Search for Evidence: articles
-
Evidence in Exotic Animal Practice: A "How-To Guide" PM Gibbons and J Mayer, Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine Volume 18, Issue 3, July 2009, Pages 174–180From the introduction: "In short, it is rarely a true lack of evidence that precludes exotic animal veterinarians from practicing EBM; rather, it is a perceived lack of readily accessible, clinically applicable scientific evidence. The goal of this article is to help lower the barriers in obtaining, assessing, and applying the best-available evidence in clinical exotic animal practice." From the conclusion: "The expertise required to search, assess, and integrate new information rapidly improves with practice, and the evidence-based clinical practice learning becomes more rewarding over time."
-
Examples of how to search: Clinical and research searching on the wild side: exploring the veterinary literatureEffective information retrieval of the zoological medicine literature demands searching multiple databases, conference proceedings, and organization websites using a wide variety of keywords and controlled vocabulary.
