38. Question for next two resources • Both Trip Database and Evidence Updates are aggregators that search various EBM tools for results to keyword searches. • The problem is that the results are often resources that are fee-based and users are asked for their username and password or requested to pay a fee. • Do you think these should be included or excluded? Or should they just be mentioned in the bibliography at the end?

It allows simultaneous searching of multiple sites which speeds up the question answering process. Registration is required but free and gives the users additional resources.
