When to Use Textbooks
As you approach your research question, you will first want to determine which types of sources to consult. Remember consulting textbooks (both in print and electronic formats), journal literature, information from the Internet and experts are all viable options.
Text books are most appropriate for:
Generic, broad-based, background-oriented questions
- Example: How does Warfarin work?
Consult: Goodman And Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis Of Therapeutics - Example: How are Temporomandibular disorders treated?
Consult: Temporomandibular Disorders - Example: How do you select the correct dental amalgams?
Consult: Dental Materials and Their Selection - Example: What causes acute pulpal pain?
Consult: Bell's Orofacial Pains
Definition questions
- Example: What are osseointegrated implants?
Consult: Critical Decisions in Periodontology - Example: Define insulin resistance.
Consult: Basic and Clinical Endocrinology
