This Field Guide is a beginner's guide to MEDLINE providing simple,
step-by-step instructions on the basics of running an effective
search strategy using the two most commonly used engines: PubMed and
Ovid. Simple descriptions and colorful screen shots show you exactly
what to do and how the screen(s) will appear. It tells you exactly
what you need to know in order to run a successful search when
retrieving medical information.

Written by the lead Instruction and Outreach Librarian at Stanford
University School of Medicine's Lane Medical Library, the main
purpose of this pocket guide is to help medical and related
professionals construct and conduct faster, easier and more effective
MEDLINE searches. It also helps you decide when it's more appropriate
to use the free PubMed interface for MEDLINE or Ovid, a commercial
(fee-based) alternative, in case you have access to both or wonder
whether it's worth subscribing to Ovid.
MEDLINE archives change daily and PubMed services change almost
weekly, yet it's been four years since the last guide to MEDLINE was
published, and there have been only two books before this one that
focused solely on MEDLINE and were intended for professionals, rather
than consumers. If you choose only one guide, this is the one to get.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of medical bibliographic databases and
tips for when to use which ones. Chapter 2 is an orientation to
MEDLINE's structure and to basic search strategies, as well as an
intro to the pros and cons of PubMed (free) vs. Ovid (fee). Stave
goes into both in considerable depth in separate chapters devoted to
each service. The two appendices cover Ovid's evidence-based medicine
reviews collection (Cochrane's Database of Systematic Reviews, for
instance) and other databases, such as ClinicalTrials.gov and
LOCATORplus. There's a five-page glossary at the end, too, so you'll
know what terms such as "check tags" and "explode" mean in this
context.
