It does remind me of the testimonials to
dubious herbal remedies/dodgy prize draws you sometimes see in Sunday
supplements, junk mail from Reader’s Digest etc, along the lines of “I
drank this mystery green gloop for a week and lost 15 stone. Fantastic! –
Mrs P, Much Wenlock” and “Yes, I really did win 3 billion pounds by
sticking a fake car key on a postcard! – Mr R,
I also wonder what s/he was using before
the NHS Evidence revelation? Is it an issue of not knowing where to search, how
to search, or who to ask? As Chris says s/he should have had “info skills”
training of some sort from the university. It does raise questions for
ourselves and our services, I’m just wondering what those questions are! In
light of nursing moving to all-degree, the idea being that nurses will have a
more robust and rounded education and consequently have more initiative, are
there other things that need to be addressed (by inf profs as much as teaching
staff) about nursing education?
Or am I wondering too much about an imaginary,
or completely mad person?

Dear all,
May be I have been on too many management
courses (Who sold you this then?) but the point surely is that it’s not
the customers fault if they can’t find our service? There is also the
traditional tactic of schooling grateful customers (of NHS Evidence in this
case) to send letters of praise. Perhaps we should just take it for what it is
and not give it the oxygen of publicity.
Best Wishes
Matt

He/she could have
used a bit of initiative and asked the advice of her academic subject librarian
as well as the NHS librarian. Is he/she sure she is 2nd year? How
did she get there?

Alternatively, EL (see below) could have shown a bit of flipping
initiative and done herself a favour by asking an NHS librarian for
assistance. 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!
EL, student"
