Abstract


We are living in a knowledge society, which is dominated by information in its most diverse formats. Internet and digital information sources have provided us with wealth of information in abundance. Information has gained importance in every sector of societies and health sector is not an exceptionand health professionals are increasingly finding that they have more information available than they can handle with confidence in their busy time schedules and the hardest task now is to actually locate the information required from the flood of information received. Major problem appears to be the difficulty of identifying and filtering the most useful, accurate and credible sources while searching online for health information. for conducting their activities related to human care, academic and research pursuits.
