Dear list, Only one hour has passed since I posted this message and I have received an overwhelming response. First of all I should say thank you to all who have responded and many have asked for copies of replies. I'd like to share these but am not certain which is the best approach.... Is it considered 'good etiquette' to copy and paste all responses into a word document and share it? I can't be sure I have the right to share the replies I have been given without first asking for permission from those who provided them? (I feel like such a newbie!) Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cleland, David Sent: 01 September 2010 14:29 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: 'How can I be sure I haven't missed anything?'... Dear List, Many of the Doctors I teach literature searching skills to, even those who are fairly well skilled in literature searching, seem to share similar concerns and often ask me 'how can I be sure I haven't missed anything?' or 'how do you know when to stop searching?' These are two questions I never feel wholly confident in answering because, deep down, I don't know! Can I ask my more experienced literature searching colleagues - how do you answer this question and can you ever be sure if you've missed anything and do you ever know when to stop searching?
