Abstract

This empirical survey examines the effect of Liservices on medical students’ skill in evidence-based education. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the activities of medical students when using library resources, to determine the purpose for using the library services, to find out the sources most frequently used for current information, and to find out the category of medical students (basic or clinical) who use the library most. Seven hundred and eleven (711) medical students. This sample comprised of 394 males and 317 females and were in Basic (Parts 2-4) and Clinicals (Parts 5-6) at the time of conducting this research. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the respondents from various Medical Schools in Nigeria. The use of questionnaire technique was adopted to elicit information from the students who came to use their institutional libraries. The results show that medical students most frequently visited the library for the purpose of accessing e-library and OPAC. Majority of the respondents relied on library e-resources while some still depended on textbooks. Those in the Basic Medical Class rely heavily on e-resources for current information than those in the Clinical class. It is recommended that Advanced library instruction programme should be incorporated into the curriculum of the Clinical Students where the use of e-resources and information technology will be taught.
