| Abstract | Objective: Does MEDLINE use, when added to more traditional sources of information, improve the accuracy of medical students' clinical decisions when compared to those obtained using traditional sources only? Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: McMaster University Faculty of Medicine, Undergraduate Program. Participants: The entire class of 101 medical students, class of 1998. Overall response rate on 9items was 56% (510/909), with 35% (35/101) completing all 9 items. Intervention: All participants were randomized on each of the nine clincal scenarios for which the student could choose to apply, or refrain from applying, a proferred intervention. When randomized to the control arm, the student used traditional sources of information for decision-making. When randomized to the experimental arm, the student used MEDLINE searching in addition to more traditional sources of information, for decision-making. Main Outcome Measures: Prior to, and subsequent to the information search, the students indicated their comfort in using the proffered intervention on a seven point Likert scale. Results: Analyzed with one-way ANOVA, the mean rating post-search of the control non-MEDLINE arm was2.94 (SD = 1.80) (where 1 = correct, 7 = incorrect)and of the experimental MEDLINE arm was 2.71 (SD =1.81), (F(1,522) = 2.03, p = 0.15 n.s). The mean change of the control arm was 0.97 (SD = 2.04) and of the experimental arm was 1.008 (SD = 1.92), (F(1,511) = 0.04,p = 0.84n.s.). Conclusions: The addition of MEDLINE to more traditional answer-seeking behaviors by medical students does not translate into a beneficial impact on clinical decision-making. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
