Systematic Literature Searching in MEDLINE on EBSCOhost

This 55-minute session introduces advanced search concepts for searching MEDLINE. In this session we look at developing a complex search strategy, incorporating wildcards and proximity search operators, running freetext and MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) searches, and applying available filters to focus search results. In addition, saving and exporting search results in bibliographic management software, are also demonstrated.
