Clinical search effectiveness: An assessment of the contribution of the computer-assisted information services of hospital libraries to clinical decision-making by physicians
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe contribution of libraries to health care is among the most important issues in medical librarianship. This study examined the contribution of the computer-assisted information services of hospital libraries to clinical decision making. Four lines of research intersect in this study: research on information transfer among health professionals, research on clinical problem solving and decision making, evaluation of information retrieval system performance, and evaluation of health sciences library information services. Four notions of effectiveness that emerge from these lines of research were identified and the perspective of situational effectiveness was selected as most appropriate for this study.
