Evidence-based health care is fundamental to current high-quality medical research and clinical practice. Fundamental to evidence-based health care research and practice is both high quality literature searching (information gathering) and evaluation/assessment/synthesis of the information found.

This wiki will focus on the process, techniques and tools of high quality searching in the context of evidence-based health care. Information collected in the wiki is primarily intended for medical librarians, but may be of interest to others. Please keep in mind that search strategies and tools here are intended for use by trained professionals in the course of their professional duties, and are not intended for use by the general public. If they are helpful or useful to others that is a plus, but not the primary purpose of the site.
