This study observed student reference use in medical education. Findings show students utilize both paper and digital resources during case discussions, highlighting evolving information-seeking behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Small group case discussions are common in medical education.
  • The integration of virtual libraries and digital resources is increasing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To observe and analyze student reference material usage (paper vs. computer) in case discussion settings.
  • To establish baseline data on information-seeking behaviors in medical students.

Main Methods:

  • Observational study across two medical courses at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
  • Categorized observations based on computer availability: none, incidental, or integrated.
  • Recorded instances of paper and computer reference source usage during case discussions.

Main Results:

  • Students used reference sources 55% of the time across all observed groups.
  • In rooms with computers, 53% of reference use involved digital or mixed sources (18% computer only, 13% paper only, 22% both).
  • Paper references dominated in environments without computer access (59% usage).

    • Conclusions:

    • Student information-seeking behavior involves a mix of traditional and digital resources.
    • Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm statistical significance.
    • Provides foundational data on reference material preferences in medical training environments.
