采用问卷调查法对纽约北部17个县的执业医师的信息需求进行了调查。获得了45.6%的答复,即258份可用答复。计算机辅助市场分析表明,最需要改进信息的领域是专科的新发展和与保健有关的政府条例。最常用的来源是期刊论文,同事和书籍,按此顺序。在具体的信息需求和来源使用方面都出现了与专业有关的差异。学位日期,地理位置和实践类型(医院,非医院,私人等),并参与研究或教育的信息需求和来源进行了分析。对图书馆服务的影响进行了讨论。
The information needs of practicing physicians in seventeen counties of upstate New York were surveyed by questionnaire. A 45.6% response, or 258 usable replies, was obtained. Computer-aided market analysis indicated that the areas of greatest need for improved information were new developments in specialties and government regulations relating to health care. Sources most frequently used were journal papers, colleagues, and books, in that order. Specialty-related differences occurred with both specific information needs and source use. Degree date, geographical location, and type of practice (hospital, nonhospital, private, and so on), and involvement in research or education were also analyzed in relation to information needs and sources. Implications for library service are discussed.
