“…Medical education is often criticised for its failure to promote a sense of responsibility among medical students for their own learning 4 . This is associated with over reliance on textbooks for information and traditional, didactic lectures 5,6 . Teachers need to encourage students not to rely on their class notes; to enrich their learning experience they must use textbooks and other resources 7 .…”

This issue's feature column reports on the findings of a small survey of library users carried out in an Indian medical college with a traditional curriculum. The study found that the main reason a student visited the library was to consult text books. Although the majority of students were satisfied with the library facilities, the study suggests that more needs to be done to promote self-directed learning.JM Case study: library usage at an Indian medical college

“…However, medical school teachers have also assumed a major role in teaching search skills to medical students. The literature of medical information science abounds with examples of programmes that were successfully implemented at different institutions in a variety of formats (Port & Meiss 1982; DaRosa et al 1983; Northup et al 1983; Graves & Selig 1986; Mueller & Foreman 1987; Reidelbach et al 1988; Bradigan & Mularski 1989; Burrows et al 1989; Moore 1989; Proud et al 1989).…”

This study was initiated in response to the availabilty of unlimited access to MEDLINE via the PaperChase interface at the host institution. The goal of the study was to analyse the usage of MEDLINE by medical students during their third-year clinical clerkship in paediatrics. This was achieved by first giving them a formal demonstration of MEDLINE and then longitudinally administering a structured questionnaire at several points during their paediatric clerkship. Since medical students were required to write a thesis for this clerkship, which included an analysis of the primary literature, there was an identified need for using the system. This study analyses the students' perceptions and searching activities after formal training and upon having unlimited access to MEDLINE.
