Session on RSS for paediatric nursing students at JMU. Done in conjunction with Katie Barnes, Michelle Maden and Lisa Anderson. Session prepared by Graham Breckon based on a presentation from NLH.
This document provides an introduction and overview of resources available at the Fade Library in Liverpool, UK. It describes key databases for evidence-based research, strategies for designing effective searches using Boolean operators and structured vocabularies, tools for assessing the quality and hierarchy of evidence, and ways librarians can support users through e-learning and further assistance.
PubMed is a database created by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) that allows access to bibliographic data collected from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), including MEDLINE. MEDLINE is the most important database from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, containing bibliographic information on life sciences journals. PubMed allows users to perform searches of terms and citations using Boolean operators like AND, OR and NOT to combine, sum or exclude terms in the search strategy.
This document provides an overview of systematic searching techniques, including how Boolean operators like AND, OR and NOT can be used to expand or limit searches. It also discusses PICO and ECLIPS frameworks for developing search strategies and compares natural language searches to searches using controlled vocabularies. Finally, it lists several databases that can be searched for evidence-based materials, clinical research, and information related to health professions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Databases use Boolean operators to do this
There are three main operators:
(broadens search) OR will show more results
(narrows search) combines concepts
(excludes a concept) use with CAUTION
9. Truncation – alcoho*
..will show:
alcoholic
alcohol
alcoholism
alcoholics
Proximity Searching
Database dependant
See LibGuides – Guides for boolean help sheet
10. Phrase searching
Inverted commas around a phrase or term
Heart disease will search for heart, disease, heart
disease
“heart disease” will search for heart disease
Limits
Applying limits will focus your search
Publication date, age, publication types, peer-
reviewed article, systematic reviews etc
Remember limits are database dependant
11. Scopus is the world‟s largest abstract and
citation database of peer-reviewed literature and
quality web sources
Contains 45.5 million records, 70% with
abstracts
Nearly 19,500 titles from 5,000 publishers
worldwide
70% of content is pulled from international
sources
Includes over 4.6 million conference papers
12. Phrases need to be in “quotation marks”
Think of alternative terms for your topic –
obese
overweight
obesity
Try proximity operators –useful for some searches
Search terms separately and combine similar terms with
OR
Use AND to combine these „groups‟ of similar terms
Use limits to reduce the number of results

14. Used to find one word near to another word in a
sentence or paragraph
There may be different ways to say the same thing
1. “Penicillin allergy”
2. allergy to penicillin
Using proximity operators increases the number of
results
w/2 (within 2 words of each other) w/3 ( 3 words) etc
“penicillin allergy” = 1,767 results
penicillin w/2 allergy = 2,363 results
A phrase search for 1
would not find 2
15. A reminder of our question
Does weight loss and exercise help reduce
high blood pressure?
“Weight
Loss”
exercise “high blood
pressure”
16. 1 “weight loss” This is a phrase so “quotation marks” are needed
2 Los* w/2 weight
Find loss or lose or lost WITHIN 2 words of weight in any
order. The * replaces any letter
3 “weight reduction diet” Alternative way of saying no 1
4 1 or 2 or 3
Combine 3 searches with OR so ANY of the terms will be
found
5 exercise
6 “high blood pressure” “phrase”
7 hypertension Alternative way of saying no 6
8 6 or 7 Combine with OR so EITHER of the terms will be found
9 4 and 5 and 8
Combine with AND. Results will contain any 1 term from
4 AND term 5 AND any 1 term from 8
17. “weight loss”
Loss w/2 weight
“weight reduction
diet”
“weight loss”
OR
Los* w/2 weight
OR
