Searching the Literature: A Guide to Comprehensive Searching in the Health Sciences
Students and researchers in the health sciences are often required to conduct comprehensive searches of the literature. Follow the steps in this guide to learn how this process works.
This series of videos is designed to guide you through searching comprehensively in Web of Science.

- After you press play, click on the [ ] symbol in the bottom-right-hand corner of the player. - Hit ESC on your keyboard to minimize the player when you are finished viewing the screencast.
