Described are the needs, methodology and techniques of the Systematic Search Method of Bibliographic Databases, following the Lecture in the MIS34, Aug. 26, 2017, Hirakata, Osaka. Systematic search of bibliographic databases is required as one of the library services for researchers, students and health personnel, which is not only important but also mandatory for research activities especially in a literature review for research planning or systematic review, though its importance is known by almost no one other than librarians. Also discussed is librarians’ role in educating researchers about this search method and in developing further methodology. Librarians should put into words their experience and should advance co-operation with researchers in searching databases.
