Medline/evidence based dentistry – free searches
The library offers a free Medline and evidence based dentistry literature search service to all BDA student members.
Contact us with details of the topic you would like searched (medical or dental) and we will search Medline, Cochrane and various other online sources for articles and/or details of guidelines/policy documents and email or post the results back to you within 2 working days.
You will receive a list of article references along with abstracts and a message to say if we have the particular journal available in the library as well as electronic copies of guidelines/policy documents where possible and references to them where not. We will also have a look through our book collection to see if we have any relevant pages that can be forwarded to you.
Each Medline search will contain the search strategy used so that you can see how the search was carried out.
If you would like to carry out your own searches Medline is freely available online through Pubmed (see link to right).
The Cochrane library is also available free to UK users (see link to right).
