Introduction

Chris —
It seems as if there is a good deal of information about using coral for treatment with bones and eyes. Can you get me a detailed list of articles on the topic?

Thanks,
Brian

In Lesson 1 we identified medical databases in a simple search.

In Exercise 1, you also looked at biosciences databases to see whether corals are being used for eye implants. We did such a good job that Brian wants us to get the information for him.

I am going to revise my search strategy so I can be more comprehensive in this search.
