The National Medical Library of Cuba is currently developing an information literacy programme to train users in the use of biomedical databases. This paper describes the experience with the course 'Cochrane Library: Evidence-Based Medicine', which aims to teach users methods for making the best use of this database and reinforce knowledge on the evidence-based medicine concept for making better decisions about medical care. The course will also introduce the Big 6TM Model for finding and organizing evidence-based medical information; it also enables students to create information products (electronic bulletins) that will allow the presentation of search results as well as promoting information for healthcare in the future.
