Expert searching in the Google age

摘要

This slim volume is an introduction to the skills and theoretical concepts needed by librarians to become expert searchers, with a specific focus on health sciences. The book focuses on helping librarians master the basics of searching databases and conducting reference interviews. In order for librarians to demonstrate professional value over omnipresent search engines, it is important to become adept at reference interviews and hone database searching skills. Jankowski breaks this broad task down into a variety of specific knowledge domains for the reader to practice and master.
