The study evaluated medical students' familiarity with information literacy and informatics during the health sciences library orientation.
MethodsA survey was fielded at the start of the 2013 school year.
ResultsSeventy-two of 77 students (94%) completed the survey. Over one-half (57%) expected to use library research materials and services. About half (43%) expected to use library physical space. Students preferred accessing biomedical research on laptops and learning via online-asynchronous modes.
ConclusionsThe library identified areas for service development and outreach to medical students and academic departments.
