 | Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell #UKMedLibs Lindsay Snell, clinical librarian in Derby |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell Q1 #UKMedLibs I think it's extremely rare for us not to be able to find more and better information than our users |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell Q1 #UKMedLibs so it's a mixture of technique, knowing the sources, and being able to evaluate information |
 | Katie @kjtreherne #ukmedlibs Evening all, Katie here, Outreach Librarian [REDACTED USER] |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell #UKMedLibs I'm on a train so struggling to keep up due to poor connection - apologies if I say stuff in the wrong place! |
| Katie @kjtreherne Q1 - search expert but not a subject matter expert, I'm sure the clinicians know far more than I ever will about their topic! Just not how to search for it... #ukmedlibs |
| Louise Levitt @LouiseWann Q1. Searching is like driving a car. You don’t really become fully competent until you’ve been out on the road for a good while. #ukmedlibs |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell [REDACTED USER] #UKMedLibs something I struggle with! |
| Katie @kjtreherne [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Definitely, but I moved from law libraries into the NHS and I remember being really happy that a fortnight in I could search the databases better than the Dr asking me for a systematic review search 😀 #ukmedlibs |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell Q2 #UKMedLibs about a year ago I asked Siri a qn I'd had at work. It came up with many of the articles I did. |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Definitely, that's so important #UKMedLibs |
| Louise Levitt @LouiseWann [REDACTED USER] Q3. I often do searches for readers who have tried themselves, but not found what they expected or when they realise that the search is more complex #ukmedlibs |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell [REDACTED USER] It was a very definite question, maybe it would have struggled more with a fuzzier topic? Also it pushes the relevant stuff to the top but doesn't give an overview of the literature. #UKMedLibs |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #UKMedLibs wow, sounds like a complex search! |
| Katie @kjtreherne Q3 This might depend a bit on the definition of an 'expert' search. I sometimes think we (I!) can go a bit overboard with full all-singing all-dancing search on every database known... and miss the very simple, specific, answer that was wanted :( #ukmedlibs |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell Q3 #UKMedLibs I think the concept of unmet need is really useful here - people are working without the latest evidence all the time, with the related waste and inefficiency. However they don't know what they're missing (unknown unknowns?) |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell @madge3232 [REDACTED USER] #UKMedLibs crazy - it takes us several hours per search, when will a clinician find time for it? |
| Katie @kjtreherne [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] It definitely took time... and there I still things I feel I understand about the legal sector, where I started at the bottom and worked up, that don't feel instinctive in the NHS #ukmedlibs |
| Lindsay Snell @LindsaySnell #UKMedLibs train coming into the station, goodnight everybody! Thank you [REDACTED USER] |
| Katie @kjtreherne [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] We just copy and paste the search strategy into the search strategy box in KS before generating the report... do you not have this? It means we can look back and see search strategies from previous/colleagues' searches quite easily. #ukmedlibs |
| Katie @kjtreherne [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 2/2 but librarians from other NHS orgs on KS would only see searches from the latter 2 groups. A specific request for a confidential search might not get recorded on KS, or recorded without full details, but that almost never happens (can't remember any I've done). #ukmedlibs |
| Katie @kjtreherne [REDACTED USER] If someone wants an answer, they'd rather have the right answer than a really good search for the wrong question! #ukmedlibs |
| Katie @kjtreherne [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Wow! And what a fab idea, definitely borrowing this. #ukmedlibs |
| Katie @kjtreherne Thank you, and goodnight #ukmedlibs |
