A survey of the use of electronic scientific information resources among medical and dental students by Kalle Romanov and Matti Aarnio BMC Medical Education 2006, 6:28 doi:10.1186/1472-6920-6-28 Published: 9 May 2006 Abstract available (provisional) Conclusions Use of electronic resources differs among students. Forty percent were non-users of full-text articles. Information-searching skills are correlated with the use of electronic resources, but the level of basic PC skills plays not a major role in using these resources. The student data shows that adequate training in information-searching skills will increase the use of electronic information resources.
