Research Guide: Finding and Evaluating High-Quality Clinical Information on the Internet

High-quality clinical information is available on the Internet, but it is often difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. This program focused on strategies and techniques to help you quickly and efficiently find and evaluate Internet sites of potential clinical interest.

We presented a brief overview of clinical information needs and how the Libraries can help in the search for high-quality information. Librarians from Dartmouth's Biomedical Libraries reviewed strategies and techniques, provided a few simple steps for evaluating what you find, and demonstrated some useful sites.

This Library Grand Rounds was videoteleconferenced to the VA/WRJ (TV Studio, Building 28), the Central Vermont Medical Center, and the Cooley Dickinson Hospital.

Please contact Karen Odato, the Libraries' education coordinator, if you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future Library Grand Rounds.
