“Empowering the medical information user” being our main objective, training is one of our major activities. Most health professionals face the following when searching for information: They get references, but not abstracts or full articles They get very important abstracts, but the original article is not in English They don’t know how to find full articles A search activity takes away precious time We conduct training programs for health professionals that will help them handle such issues, and get relevant medical literature with ease

Myth: "The Internet makes information access very easy. Gone are the days when we have to struggle in libraries" Reality: While Internet access has definitely done wonders, it has certainly not been the panacea for information access. Very often you see a "So near and yet so far" phenomenon. You get references, but not abstracts or full articles. You get wonderful abstracts, but the original article is not in English. You know that a journal you need is in "Library X" but hey - you are in India, and the library is in Australia! Do remember that libraries may occasionally oblige, but most often will charge for services and in dollars.

With the volume of medical literature increasing at a tremendous pace, retrieving relevant information without loss of time requires specialised searching skills. We conduct training programs for health professionals that will help them in enhancing such skills. Our programs focus on practical issues like narrowing or broadening a search, receiving regular updates and getting complete articles.
