Best Evidence and the Journal of Family Practice (Monday Memo 11/12/07)

Many of you are probably aware of the “Clinical Inquiries” features that are regularly published in the Journal of Family Practice. These articles are great windows into best evidence from a family medicine perspective. Here is a simple way to use PubMed to find Clinical Inquiries articles going back to when they first began in 2001. 1) Open PubMed from the Lamar Soutter Library home page, 2) copy this search string: "J Fam Pract"[Journal:__jrid4734] AND "clinical inquiries", 3) paste it into the PubMed search box and then add your topic (for example: "J Fam Pract"[Journal:__jrid4734] AND "clinical inquiries" AND ADHD). As we have this journal available in full-text, you will be able to click straight through from the citation to the entire article. Would you like to set up an alert service so that new Clinical Inquiries come to your e-mail inbox each month? Contact Len Levin or Jim Comes in the library and we can help you do so by setting up a free MyNCBI account.
