Abstract

Technical innovation in the field of information includes the design and implementation of large on‐line automated systems for the retrospective search of scientific literature. An example of such technology is the MEDLINE bibliographic service of the National Library of Medicine which, with its 200 terminals, serves the biomedical scientific and professional community throughout the country. In the initial phase of the MEDLINE development, users of seven MEDLINE information centers were investigated in terms of characteristics, motivations, purposes and expectations in using the service. The study attempts to clarify the role of MEDLINE in basic and clinical research, and in the education and training of biomedical personnel. Some of the factors involved in the adoption of an innovation are analyzed.
