Clinical requirements for quick accessibility to reputable, up-to-date information
have increased the importance of web accessible digital libraries for this user community.
To understand the social and organisational impacts of ward-accessible digital libraries
(DLs) for clinicians, we conducted a study of clinicians’ perceptions of electronic
information resources within a large London based hospital. The results highlight
that although these resources appear to be a relatively innocuous means of information
provision (i.e. no sensitive data) social and organisational issues can impede effective
technology deployment. Clinical social structures, which produce information — and
technology — hoarding behaviours can result from poor training, support and DL usability. |
