Abstract
This paper presents an innovative integration of library services and continuing education (CE). While print material is an important continuing education information source for physicians, its volume is overwhelming. Librarians have developed the use of a variety of methods, including online data bases such as MEDLINE, to simplify and expedite access to printed information. Combining a library information delivery system with formal continuing education course activities can enhance the educational potential of two popular learning methods.Keywords
