Well, it's probably a step up from Googling your essay question!! And it's a bit worrying that she doesn't appear to realise what *isn't* on Evidence. Surely for some of her assignments she'd be expected to use those journal article thingies that those nasty librarians insist on making things difficult by teaching you how to find!

It's what we're good at. "Dear Eyes on Evidence, As a second year nursing student I'd just like to say what a bonus I think a service like NHS Evidence will be for my studies. I hadn't heard about the site until I visited your stand at the NHS Innovation EXPO. I'd just finished a project and one of your staff showed me how to search for the information I'd used for my work via NHS Evidence. Details I'd spent hours looking for were there straight away. I was kicking myself because had I known about it a week earlier I could have saved myself so much time. Now I know about it I will definitely be using it to research future assignments - and saving some time!
