Pre- and posttest (some questions)• Vad innebär begreppet informationssökning för dig? • Vilket av dessa ord är mindre bra att söka på i en databas? • Var letar du om du vill ha tag på en vetenskaplig artikel? • Jag måste söka med engelska sökord i en engelskspråkig
databas även om jag bara vill ha referenser som svenska forskare har skrivit
• Jag har gjort en sökning i databasen Cinahl. Måste jag ändå söka i andra databaser för att hitta alla referenser inom ämnet omvårdnad
• Internet är en stor dator som står någonstans och innehåller stora mängder information
