When assessing clinicians on acquiring clinical evidence, ask the following questions:
1. Are they searching at all?
2. Do they know the best sources of current evidence for my clinical discipline?
3. Do they have easy access to the best sources of current evidence in the clinical discipline?
4. Are they becoming more efficient in their searching?
5. Are they using truncations, Boolean operators, MeSH headings, thesaurus, limiters, and intelligent free text when searching for evidence?
6. How do their searches compare with those of research librarians or other respected colleagues?
