National Searching Guidance - latest edition

The National Searching Guidance for NHS/healthcare libarians has been updated and the January 2026 edition is available.  As with previous editions, it starts with guidance for each stage of an evidence search (i.e. planning, execution, results). Although the focus is on searches related to health, these general guidelines and prompts are more widely useful. Following general guidance on each stage of a search are sections with detailed guidance for specific types of search.
