Abstract:
The metastrategy for World-Wide Web information retrieval was presented as an integrated approach to end-user searching in clinical medicine, although its application may be made to any search for WWW information. Certain distinctions, such as between anticipated and unanticipated clinical information needs and between WWW catalogs for retrieving Web sites and WWW databases for retrieving Web pages, were made. These distinctions are important in the end-user strategy because they help maximize the productivity of the WWW for clinicians.
