OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study is to determine how personal digital assistants (PDAs) are used on an academic health sciences campus to define the level of training and support the library can provide to the students and faculty.
METHOD
A Web-based questionnaire was developed. A total of 1,538 health sciences faculty and residents were sent an email message requesting participation. Data from the returned surveys were analyzed with SPSS.
RESULTS
Sixty-one percent of survey respondents used PDAs. The address book, date book, and calculator were the most common uses reported for PDAs. Residents also reported a high use of drug databases on their PDAs. Most survey respondents indicated they would like to learn more about clinical resources for PDAs.
CONCLUSIONS
Many opportunities exist for librarians to provide training and support for PDAs, in addition to evaluation and promotion of clinical software for PDAs.
目的
本研究旨在确定个人数字助理（PDA）在学术健康科学园区是如何使用的，以界定图书馆能够为学生和教师提供的培训水平及支持。
方法
设计了一份基于网络的调查问卷。共向1538名健康科学教员和住院医师发送电子邮件邀请其参与。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）对回收调查问卷的数据进行分析。
结果
61%的调查受访者使用PDA。地址簿、日程表和计算器是PDA最常被报告的用途。住院医师还报告称在其PDA上大量使用药物数据库。大多数调查受访者表示他们希望更多地了解PDA的临床资源。
结论
除了评估和推广PDA临床软件外，图书馆员还有很多机会为PDA提供培训和支持。
