I picked How to Read a Paper: The Basics of Evidence-Based Medicine by Trisha Greenhalgh. I chose it because it explains how read the evidence-based paper: it explains the meaning of terms, such as critical appraisal, it discuss how to perform literature searches, and how to evaluate the different types of papers.

I chose this book because, just by looking at title, I could tell that it is something that I need to read and learn about since my goal is to be a medical librarian.
