Journal Title: SRELS Journal of Information Management - Year 2016, Vol 53, Issue 4
Abstract
Web-based information sources have provided an opportunity for access to medical information. In recent years online information resources have become informative, with the use of World Wide Web for medical and health applications. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the use of clinical information resources and services available on the web by the students. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 782 students studying in 10 medical universities/ deemed universities in Karnataka. The result of the study shows that majority of the students are aware of online resources. However, there is a need to improve the infrastructure provided by the universities.
