This document provides guidance on searching medical literature databases for evidence related to clinical questions. It outlines a 6-step flight plan for finding and appraising evidence, including putting clinical questions in PICO format and searching PubMed, Cochrane, and JBI using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. Key differences between subject headings and keywords are explained. Screenshots demonstrate how to search MeSH, limit results in PubMed by article type, and save searches and articles. Contact information is provided for librarian support.
Overview of different ways of searching the PubMed database: cross-searched with Entrez, basic search, author search, journal search, searching for special topics, single citation matching, and advanced search.
A literature review is a major part of research methodology and it is a study to do systematically the literature review. One of the major search is PUBMED and this explains how we can deal with PUBMED

Money is pervasive and integral to so many of our experiences. Recent changes in the financial landscape – from mobile payments to peer-to-peer lending and the rise of local and crypto currencies – mean that now is the time to take a critical perspective on the future of money and the interactions that we will have with it.
Method ran an exploratory research project on the future of money using an insights-led approach to speculative design. The project used trend analysis and ethnographic research to inspire future scenarios. We sought to bring the future into the present and create social experiments in which possible futures could be lived and experienced to stimulate critical discussion.

Radiumboards- Complete Solution for Digital Security and Surveillance (DSS) I...RadiumBoards
The presentation gives you insight as to how Radiumboards can offer Production ready boards for Digital Video Recorder(DVR), Single channel Encoder(SCE), Digital Video Encoder(DVE), SCADA,Refrence Boards.We offer you instant upgrade for Analog Cameras to IP Cameras using our Digital Video Encoders(DVE)
A 1.5 hour workshop on Medline meant for researchers who already have some experience with Medline. Built to be as interface neutral as possible and therefore usable for teaching Pubmed or OvidSP. Focus is on active learning and includes a worksheet where participants can record things they notice about MeSH headings and search results as they work through the activities. Feedback very welcome. Edited to remove section on filters and add an activity around limits.
This worksheet is used to help students search PubMed with advanced search strategies. Students must complete the worksheet as part of a larger research project. The worksheet is graded by the librarian.
Evidence Based Medicine Master degree Course (Lecture 5) : How to search MEDL...Iman El Sayed
This lecture illustrates how to search PubMed using keywords, advanced search, clinical queries and MeSH terms. Also, different options are displayed to save, email, export to a citation manager and share hits.
Researchers could save search strategies either to a temporary storage (e.g. clipboard) or to a permanent storage (e.g. Collections and bibliography).
1. Welcome to the universe of medical
information!

2. It can be a scary place out here, but do not fear! You are
not alone.
Flight plan
1. Put your clinical question into PICO format
2. Search the MeSH database to find MeSH terms for your
PICO elements
3. Search PubMed for high quality evidence
4. Save PubMed searches to your My NCBI account
5. Search the Cochrane Library and JBI for systematic
reviews
6. Start reading and appraising the articles you found!
3. Ignition, Stage 1:
As a group, put your
clinical question into
PICO format
Ignition, Stage 2:
Understanding the difference
between Subject Headings and
Keywords
We’re primarily concerned
with two kinds of subject headings
MeSH (PubMed & Cochrane)
CINAHL
4. Subject Headings are controlled vocabulary
MeSH: National Library of Medicine
• Subject headings help organize the universe of
articles by making sure there is a consistent way
of referring to the same condition or issue
• When you search subject headings you are only
searching the subject headings section of the
article record
Keywords are not controlled
• When you do a keyword search you are
searching for that term or phrase anywhere in
the text of the article, not just in the subject
headings section
7. Use the Select Database by Name
menu to choose the database you
want, then click Go to Database
8. To search the MeSH database, select it from the
PubMed homepage or the PubMed search menu
9. Understanding a MeSH record
Scope note
(definition)
Subheadings (can be
used to conduct a
focused search)
10. These functions can
help narrow your
search
Entry terms: If you type
any one of these into
PubMed or MeSH it will
map to this MeSH term
Pubmed auto-
explodes, which
means unless you tell
it not to it will
Narrower automatically include
subject the narrower subject
headings headings in the
search
11. Takeoff:
Starting to find MeSH Headings:
Search MeSH for your PICO elements
Be sure to add search terms to your grid, note if
it’s a MeSH heading, and whether or not you want to
explode it.
12. Take the helm:
As you find your MeSH terms add them to the search
builder
Use AND to combine different
elements, eg. P AND I
Use OR to combine synonyms or
related terms for same element
13. Use the Article Type filter in PubMed
To start select:
Meta-analysis
Randomized Controlled Trial
Systematic Review
You need to click on each Article
type to activate (apply) it
14. To save your articles create a group
MyNCBI account and send articles to
your collections
19. Use the Medical Terms (MeSH) tab to
search, then click Add to Search Manager for
each term
20. In the Search Manager, type the search
you want into the final box
Click Go to see the results of your search, then click
on the number of results to see them
21. JBI
• You can access JBI through the Pace databases
page
• You will need to use the login information
provided by the DNP program to log in the
first time and then create an individual
account
22. Searching JBI
3. Use the Search History to
combine searches
1. Use your MeSH
terms as keywords
2. You can limit to
Systematic Reviews

Editor's Notes
Do PubMed search for anti-smoking to demonstrate articles in processPoint out sub-headings, eg. Smoking/psychology - you don’t want to search with sub-headings
Use anti-smoking as sample search in PubMed
