This 134 page study looks closely at the use of the medical library and use of specific information resources by medical faculty. The report gives highly detailed data on medical school faculty use of databases, journals, institutional digital repositories, medical blogs, wikis and listservs and other medical information resources.

The study relates highly detailed information on the percentage of medical faculty who have received training on specific medical databases such as Ovid, PubMed, Medline, Web or Science and many others, as well as their preferences for print or online versions of medical journals. In addition, the report includes data on how medical faculty rate their familiarity with various information vehicles such as blogs, wikis, databases, online journals, etc, and how they prefer to learn about their use.
The study is based on a survey of 141 medical school faculty from 50 major medical schools predominantly in the US, but also from Canada, Australia and the UK. Data is broken out by research specialty, age, gender, length of time in the profession, nationality, tenure status and other variables.
