In Part 1 of this series, we introduced the reader to the use of resources, databases, and search engines in relationship to clinical questions. Part 2 outlined some basic features of the MEDLINE database and several principles pertaining to designing MEDLINE search strategies.2 In this article, we will outline some further principles and skills aimed at the needs of practitioners seeking to use this large and challenging resource to identify clinical evidence to inform their decisionmaking. Our discussion of MEDLINE is not intended to be comprehensive, and there are many tricks that we have omitted.
