  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.
