Importance of Information Literacy 

I was struck by the response of one of the senior resident when I asked him about importance of taking Information Literacy classes. He said that it is not required. Feel like asking him does he know about Search Tags..I am sure answer will be No.
Hope such studies : 'A Study on Pubmed Search Tag Usage Pattern: Association Rule Mining of a Full-day Pubmed Query Log'  in BMC Med Inform Decis Mak will help many students, researchers ....in formulating the search queries and will help in obtaining results accurate & faster than before.
