A pilot test of a full-text, medical literature retrieval service demonstrated its capabilities for on-line search and retrieval of references, abstracts, and/or full-text journal articles. During a three-month test period, more than 500 health care professionals conducted 9,377 searches using computer terminals located in seven different health care sites. Searches were initiated for purposes of patient care, medical education, research, or for browsing. The majority of responders to a questionnaire given during the test period said they would continue to use the service during the pilot test, and only about 1% reported the search process difficult to use or not "user-friendly." It is predictable that with a comprehensive data base, full-text medical literature retrieval can be very useful for medical practice, medical education, and research.
一项关于全文医学文献检索服务的试点测试展示了其在线搜索和检索参考文献、摘要及/或全文期刊文章的能力。在为期三个月的测试期内，500多名医疗保健专业人员使用位于七个不同医疗保健场所的计算机终端进行了9377次搜索。搜索的发起目的包括患者护理、医学教育、研究或浏览。在测试期间进行的问卷调查中，大多数受访者表示他们会在试点测试期间继续使用该服务，只有约1%的人报告搜索过程难以使用或“不友好”。可以预见，凭借全面的数据库，全文医学文献检索对于医学实践、医学教育和研究非常有用。
