Republican Scientific-Medical Library, The Republic of Armenia: progress and programs.

In 1990, the Republican Scientific-Medical Library (RSML) of the Ministry of Health of Armenia in collaboration with the Fund for Armenian Relief created a vision of a national library network supported by information technology. This vision incorporated four goals: (1) to develop a national resource collection of biomedical literature accessible to all health professionals, (2) to develop a national network for access to bibliographic information, (3) to develop a systematic mechanism for sharing resources, and (4) to develop a national network of health sciences libraries. During the last decade, the RSML has achieved significant progress toward all four goals and has realized its vision of becoming a fully functional national library. The RSML now provides access to the literature of the health sciences including access to the Armenian medical literature, provides education and training to health professionals and health sciences librarians, and manages a national network of libraries of the major health care institutions in Armenia. The RSML is now able to provide rapid access to the biomedical literature and train health professionals and health sciences librarians in Armenia in information system use. This paper describes the evolution of the RSML and how it was accomplished.

Health sciences libraries in Kuwait: a study of their resources, facilities, and services.

The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of health sciences libraries in Kuwait in terms of their staff, collections, facilities, use of information technology, information services, and cooperation. Seventeen libraries participated in the study. Results show that the majority of health sciences libraries were established during the 1980s. Their collections are relatively small. The majority of their staff is nonprofessional. The majority of libraries provide only basic information services. Cooperation among libraries is limited. Survey results also indicate that a significant number of health sciences libraries are not automated. Some recommendations for the improvement of existing resources, facilities, and services are made.

Information seeking behavior of occupational health nurses. How nurses keep current with health information.

A questionnaire designed to study the information seeking behavior of professional nurses was mailed to 600 occupational health nurses who work and reside in New York State. A 28% response rate (165 usable replies) was obtained. Results indicated respondents most need to know about government regulations relating to health care, new developments in their area of specialization, drug information, and the psychological aspects of disease. The respondents most frequently looked to peers and colleagues in their agency, personal files and books, and professional organizations as important sources of information. Whereas respondents were less apt to rely on the Internet, MEDLINE, or the hospital library as sources of information used for professional purposes, 38.8% did report they frequently used the Internet to seek health related information. Also, the majority of respondents (65%) indicated interest in continuing education, if it were available, in using the Internet to access health related information. The present study suggests professional nursing organizations have an opportunity to meet members' needs by expediting members' efforts to access and evaluate information using emerging information technologies.

Searching for answers. Using computers to find the literature you need for patient care.

The medical journal literature is extensive and contains information that can help physicians care for patients. Minnesota physicians are able to tap into a variety of resources to help them locate relevant articles. Literature searches may be run by librarians in a local hospital library, a larger health sciences library, or via various professional associations. Physicians interested in conducting their own searches are able to use local systems or dial into national ones. Innovations in computers will allow easier and faster access to the medical literature in the future.
