โœฆ Synopsis


Health care continuing education (CE) professionals and health sciences librarians have many common goals including ( I ) identibing information seeking behaviors of health professionals, ( 2 ) providing the information that has the most impact on clinical practice, and (3) educating health professionals in the use of new information technologies so that they may independently seek information needed to solve problems. Lack of familiarity with evolving technologies for information management, a shortage of local technologic resources and expertise, and limited knowledge of the librarian's role as an educator can pose obstacles to the immediate use of libraries in CE. Howevel; by consolidating local and regional resources, CE and library professionals can work together in many ways: ( I ) carrying out research studies on information needs of health professionals to target specific areas for CE; (2) conducting demonstrations and hands-on training in the use of computer systems and software for accessing health care resources; and (3) developing tailored educational programs covering information management skills, such as searching MEDLINE or using file management software.
