1. I have found the abstract (summary) of a really good article and I have the full reference (volume and page numbers) – where do I go to find the full text?
2. I have to find information on the overuse of medication, which database should I use to find articles on the topic?
3. Google gives me loads of irrelevant sites – biased, commercial – is there an alternative?
