Hi Linda,
Does your document management system have a name? Can it be bought off the
shelf?

Dear all
A database of searches was something we always aimed to do in Leicester. It
is only now that the trust has purchased a document management system that
we have been able to do this. A lot of time and energy was spent by us and
an IM&T bod in developing an access database. We found that we were
concentrating so much on the technical aspects that it wasn't worth it. Now
that these are resolved for us, we can concentrate on the content (similar
to Jean's description). There is an automatic alert when it needs updating
(it can even automatically remove documents after their sell by date if
needed).
I recommed anyone to find out what their trust is planning and piggy back on
this rather than going it alone.
In reality, only a few questions are asked in the same way more than once.
The National Clinical Querying Answering Service, if it is developed,will be
helpful to us all I think - providing the technical backup but, more
importantly, guidance on quality issues relating to our search summaries.
We are not doing systematic reviews and how we present the results of our
searches is very important. Doing this on a national scale will also make
more meaningful the objective of identifying gaps in the evidence for the
R&D agenda.

Afternoon,
There is a discussion about this going on at a national level. The National
Knowledge Service commissioned a research report into the options for
delivery of a National Clinical Question Answering Service that would have a
central database of previously answered questions. The mechanics have not
been figured out. When the report is finished it should be put on the NKS
website - or at least that is the impression I have.
Kind regards
Laura

Julie,
I am in the process of looking into this myself at the moment.
So, unfortunately, I don't have any answers to your questions but I am very
interested in hearing about other people's experiences.
I am going to start out with this on a smaller scale just to see how it
goes. Instead of covering all lit. searches I am planning to begin with
those asked at a particular journal club.
At present I am compiling a "pool" of questions asked, databases searched,
and a brief summary of the evidence found and what level of evidence is
available. I can also include information about the requester, (with their
permission, if others would like to follow up on feedback. When this is
compiled we're going to put it on the journal club website. We are having
some software difficulties in making this into a searchable database at the
moment but hopefully this will be resolved in the near future. I am a
little concerned about the amount of time that this process is taking / will
take and of course there will be constant updating and editing so if anyone
has hints and advice on how to avoid pitfalls etc... that would be
excellent.
Regards,
Jean

Subject: Clinical Queries / Literature Search Database
I'm looking for advice on developing a database of previous
literature searches. This would be for library staff use only, so that they
could check whether a query / question had been searched for before, to try
to avoid repeating work already produced, and just to undertake updating.
Does anyone currently have anything similar they could tell me
about?
The sort of questions we have initially are:
What software is used?
What content is included in the database:
Previous queries / questions?
Sources searched? Which sources produced relevant results?
Search results / references?
Are separate electronic / paper copies of these retained
rather than included in the database?
Search strategy used?
Are separate electronic / paper copies of these retained
rather than included in the database?
Limits applied?
When the search was conducted?
What profession / speciality requested the search?
The time required to input new details into the database?
Also, did anyone consider developing such a database, but decide no
to go ahead? What made you change your mind?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Julie Jackson
