Abstract (English):	The vast information overload existing nowadays and the large number of sources collecting it, requires that professionals find by themselves the scientific information that they need for medical practice and research tasks. Practitioners must become familiar with the use of new Information and Communication Technologies that are in charge of the dissemination and access to information, as well as the methodology for conducting reliable literature searches. In order to achieve it, they must know the controlled retrieval languages of some databases (such as the Medical Subject Headings-MeSH of MEDLINE) and the tools for adjusting the search results according to their needs for accuracy or exhaustivity in information retrieval. This paper describes the steps that have to be followed in conducting literature searches in bibliographic databases, as well as the main methodological aspects to be taken into account.

Abstract (Spanish):	La gran saturación de información existente en la actualidad, y la multitud de fuentes que la recogen, requiere que los profesionales sepan encontrar por sí mismos la información científica necesaria para el ejercicio médico y las tareas de investigación. Los profesionales deben familiarizarse con el uso de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación, que per-miten la difusión y acceso a la información, así como de la metodología para la realización de búsquedas bibliográficas fiables. Para logarlo, deben conocer los lenguajes de recuperación controlados de algunas bases de datos (como el Medical Subject Headings-MeSH de MEDLINE) y las herramientas que les permitan modular los resultados de las búsquedas según sus necesidades de precisión o exhaustividad en la recuperación de la información. En este trabajo se describen las etapas que deben seguirse en la realización de búsquedas bibliográficas en bases de datos, así como los principales aspectos metodológicos que deben tenerse en cuenta.
