Module 3 - Post 3
The search in google was by far the easiest when searching for obesity and infants and breastfeeding, the results were clear and factual, I was excited to see so many that were relevant to what I wanted to know. The same information is probably also found in PubMed but I would have to search longer for the quick information I would need. The guideline index was the least helpful, it was harder to decipher. Again I use bookmarked journals such as the American Academy of Family Physicians and the University of Michigan Health Website. Context relevant information might be helpful, but it would take time to learn and right now I need to use the searches that are the quickest.

Isn't it interesting - sometimes google seems to be faster and more useful than pubmed?? The idea of "context-sensitive" retrieval is something like googling at the bedside - optimizing retrieval for the situation in which the provider is looking for information... prescribing an antibiotic for pneumonia, for instance...
