Therefore, just following information search manuals may not be enough to achieve a satisfactory result. It is necessary to bring to the level of consciousness the objectives of the search, the choice of sources, and the selection of the best information to answer the initial research question. ; Estudios en diferentes países indican que los estudiantes y profesionales de la salud tienen dificultades para buscar información científica para uso académico y clínico.
