My Health Minnesota: Electronic Health Library: Best Practices Survey

Abstract

In 2008, the University of Minnesota Health Sciences Libraries, in partnership with MINITEX Library Information Network (MINITEX), explored the feasibility of providing online access to a core set of clinical knowledge resources to health professionals in Minnesota. As part of this research, an online questionnaire was developed to determine best practices. Respondents were recruited based on their membership in the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries, which represents libraries throughout the United States and Canada. Findings were used to identify best practices in the following categories: population served, information resources, technology/access, funding models, and sustainability.
