Objective:
To examine the information needs of users of the Stanford Health Information Network for Education (SHINE), an integrated information retrieval (IR) system.

Conclusions:
Attention should be paid to the selection of drug information resources in medical knowledge information retrieval systems. The distribution of query categorizations also suggests that IR systems include a wide range of knowledge resources.
