Development of information technology has enabled end users to access and search reference databases directly. As the end users have changed, the search function in the reference databases has adapted to accommodate the searching behavior of medical professionals, health care professionals, and of course ordinary people. Some of the keywords of this trend are "up-to-date", "retroactive", "easy-to-use", and :diverse." Librarians are required to have an understanding of not only reference databases, but also nursing literature. In addition they need to have knowledge of the evolution of scientific information, publishing distribution, and research methodology. Another area where they need to demonstrate competence is in their understanding about the needs and characteristics of their users. In the process of considering an effective search strategy for their users, the librarians should have the ability to understand the background to the search, and clarify this in the reference interview. They should then carefully arrange the search results in an easily understood form.
