Efficient MEDLINE searching of the radiologic literature.

The Radiology Information Service at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University performs a wide range of functions from physician continuing education to a photocopy service, including approximately 450 demand literature searches annually. The complexity of the field of radiology, the rapid advances in hardware and techniques, and the variety of interests on the part of radiologists and basic scientists requesting searches make online literature retrieval a challenge for even the expert radiology librarian. This paper presents up-to-date searching terminology, suggested search formulations, and bibliographic sources which have proved valuable in the functioning of the Radiology Information Service.

A comprehensive information service for an academic radiology department.

In order to simplify access to the medical radiology literature, a clinical information service was created within an academic radiology department. The program, administered by a clinical medical librarian, provides literature search services and current literature selection for in-house faculty and staff members to answer questions related to patient management, research, publication, and conference preparation. Additional services are provided through selective bibliographies and "current awareness" searches, both updated frequently, and a monthly journal table-of-contents packet in the areas of radiologic diagnosis/nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. The clinical medical librarian also administers a departmental learning resource center and teaching files. Development of a subscription information service for practicing radiologists is discussed.
