22. Searching databases

23. Outline • Planning searches • Using databases to find journal articles • Using RefWorks to create in-text citations and bibliographies • Demonstrations • Hands-on practice

24. What is Medline? • A database used to find references in journals • Dentistry, medicine, nursing, allied health, biological and physical sciences, nutrition, health care, psychiatry • Bibliographic databases • Author, title, journal, abstract • 16 million references to articles from 1948 • 5,300 journal titles indexed • There are different versions of Medline • Ovid platform: King’s username and password, full text links • PubMed: free access, can set up full-text links

25. What is Embase? • Some overlap with Medline • Major resource in the field of biomedicine, drugs research, pharmacology and toxicology • Based in Holland, so extensive coverage of European literature and topics • Indexes over 4,000 international journals, 1974 to date • Ovid platform – King’s username and password • Full text links

26. Planning your search • Before you search for information, it is important to develop a search strategy • Identify the key concepts & keywords • Identify any synonyms, alternative spellings etc • If possible, search each concept separately and then combine • Refine your search – too many records? Too few? • Check your results for clues for additional search terms

27. Outline • Planning searches • Creating RefWorks library • Performing literature searches using healthcare databases • Transferring data to RefWorks • Write n Cite

28. Finding articles in your subject area If you want to find articles in a particular subject area, use bibliographic databases to perform a literature search: • Medline • Embase • Web of Science • Scopus

29. What is Medline

30. What is Embase?

31. ISI Web of Science

32. Other resources

33. Planning your search

34. Focus your question Ask focused, answerable questions e.g.: How does sedation compare with general anaesthesia when providing dental treatment for primary-age children?

35. Select the key concepts How does sedation compare with general anaesthesia when providing dental treatment for the under-18s? • Dentistry • Conscious sedation • General anaesthesia • Age group: Children between 6-11

37. Subject heading searches • Some databases (e.g. Medline) use subject headings to organise their records • Subject headings are applied to records to provide a consistent vocabulary – e.g. Antibacterial Agents will be applied to any record on antibiotics • Subject headings may differ between databases • Not all databases use subject headings, e.g. Web of Science

38. Free text searching What you type in will be searched exactly as written, so you will need to be accurate and detailed – e.g. a free text search for ‘conscious sedation’ might include the following terms: Conscious sedation Relative analgesia Anti-anxiety agents Hypnotics & Sedatives Barbiturates Benzodiazepines

39. Truncation in free text searches Use an asterisk to ask the database to search for plurals and variant terms: • Relative analgesi*= analgesia OR analgesic • Sedative* = sedative OR sedatives

40. Boolean operators • AND, OR, NOT • Used to combine search terms • Can be used for two or more terms • Must be used for two or more terms • Other related operators depending on the database (SAME/SENT)

41. AND • Retrieves results only containing both terms • e.g. Conscious sedation AND general anasthesia • Makes search more specific

42. OR • Retrieves results containing either term • Useful for synonyms and related terms • e.g. Nitrous Oxide OR Diazepam • Makes search broader

43. NOT • Excludes a term • e.g. conscious sedation NOT adult* • Useful when you don’t want a word present in the records you find – i.e. to get rid of irrelevant results. • Take care not to filter out results which could be relevant

44. Subheadings • Use in Medline or Embase to find articles that concentrate on a particular aspect of a topic e.g. therapy • Could be useful if overwhelmed with references, e.g. use the treatment or diagnosis subheadings • Use with caution – normally, just tick Include All Subheadings

45. Summary • Always plan ahead • Use a range of databases • Search using subject headings if possible, and free-text searching if appropriate • Refine your search if you need to • Cite your references correctly

46. Other useful resources Cochrane http://www.thecochranelibrary.com For high level evidence such as systematic reviews NHS Evidence – Oral Health http://www.library.nhs.uk/oralhealth/ For access to the high quality resources in evidence based oral health

47. Create RefWorks account Go to http://www.refworks.com/RWShibboleth and login with your King’s username and password.

48. Getting references into RefWorks • Direct import (from database) • Creating folders • Upload of text files • Pulling in references from online source • Manual input

49. Practical – direct import • Search Ovid Medline database for references • Search topic: • Dental implants AND Quality of life Export about 10 references

50. Practical – online catalogue search Use the search function to search the ISS catalogue • McCabe, J. (2008) Applied Dental Materials. 9th ed. Oxford: Blackwell.
