Title

Use of information sources by family physicians : a literature survey

Source

Bulletin of the Medical Library Association. 83(1995) no.1, S.85-90

Year

1995

Abstract

State of the art review of the use of information sources by family doctors is important for both practical and theoretical reasons. Analysis of the ways in which family doctors handle information may point to opportunities for improvement. Such efforts lead to improvements in the methodology of literature research in general. Reports on a review of the literature on information use by family doctors. 11 relevant research publications were found. The data showed that family doctors used colleagues most often as information sources followed by periodicals and books. This outcome corresponded with results found for other professions. Several factors influenced the use of information sources by family doctors, including the physical, functional and intellectual accessibility of the sources; the doctor's age; participation by the doctor in research or education; the social context of the doctor; practice characteristics; and the stage of the informatio gathering process. The publications studied suggested ways to improve information gathering in the areas of computerization, education, library organization, and periodical articles
