title: [How to do an effective literature search? The use of Push and Pull strategies].
abstract: The availability of scientific information is growing exponentially. Healthcare professionals who wish to keep up-to-date with scientific literature and find the best information should spend their time finding resources that summarize the best available evidence. This manuscript aims to provide bibliographic research knowledge and skills, to contribute to an increase in the use of e-learning, to "Push and Pull" correct information and, in other words, to indicate how to deal with information overload.
