Title

¬The literature search : a library-based model for information skills instruction

Abstract

Describes a model for teaching the core information skills involved in library based literature searching and information retrieval which centres on a flow chart of the main stages in a systematic search: creation of sets of search terms; formulation of logical search statements, estimation of searching parameters; searching information sources; and recording and evaluating references retrieved. The flow chart is flanked by 2 columns: one column contains conceptual frameworks which illuminate aspects of the search process, such as the information chain and QRAQ (quantity, relevance, authority and quality); the other column identifies library tools and services analysis and user training. The model was developed primarily in an academic, health sciences environment, but operates at a sufficiently high level of generality to be of wide applicability in information skills programmes
