I remember being offered the option of a day out of the OR teaching anesthesiology residents so I could attend a tutorial conducted by UVA medical librarians to teach us researcher/academics how to do our own Medline searches.

This was around 1994-95.

What a waste. Totally confusing, frustrating, and boring. After an hour or so I wished I'd just stayed in the OR.

Never did conduct my own Medline searches, BTW: why not let paid experts like the librarians do it rather than waste my time to get a much inferior result?
