Searching for Pharmaceutical Information Using DialogWeb—Guided Search
The series of pharmaceutical courses using DialogWeb—Guided
Search enables the novice searcher who is unfamiliar
with Dialog command language to review databases and
search strategies for searches most often conducted
as drugs move through the drug development pipeline.
Command language searchers will also find the command
summaries for each search useful as they plan strategies
for different applications in their pharmaceutical
research.
Each course has three parts: an Introduction to
the DialogWeb—Guided Search interface and a brief
discussion of the drug pipeline and sources of
information about drugs in each phase. Part 2 contains
a description of databases and step-by-step searches
for the different phases of development, and Part
3 provides suggestions about other courses and
where to get search assistance. The courses are
flexible in that you can review the entire course
as you begin the series and then focus on Part
2 of each subsequent course to see the unique databases
and search strategies for that stage in the development
process.
