“…Health information professionals need to ensure that the networking systems installed are convenient and suit the spectrum of needs of the information users in an organisation, and training should provide the ability to improve through practice [31]. The ideal knowledge-based workstation is still a matter of some conjecture, though indications from the Value project [15] are confirmed in a study at Heidelberg [32] that increased availability of access to MEDLINE should result in more searches being done for direct patient care, though the majority of accesses are still made for research purposes.…”

The aim of a survey, undertaken at an English National Health Service (NHS) trust hospital in the summer of 1996, was to examine health professionals' awareness of evidencebased medicine (EBM), their attitudes towards problems in implementing EBM locally and their views of the role of the library in supporting EBM. A postal questionnaire (response rate 40%: 182/475) provided baseline information for planning. More doctors than nurses or PAMs (professionals allied to medicine) had heard of the term EBM, but most of the health professionals were in agreement with the principles of EBM despite not understanding the term fully. Most of the health professionals wanted access to resources at the workplace, and doctors in particular preferred to do their own searching. Many health professionals doubted whether a librarian could find the relevant research articles, suggesting the need for better promotion of library services in support of EBM, emphasising value-added services.

“…Using the current technology, all the banking systems could be updated and upgraded more effectively and efficiency. As (Haux, 1996) argued, the development of information technology enables utilization of a continuously expanding knowledge base. Therefore, the CBB keep success and competitive by keeping themselves updated on technology.…”

“…Information technology will then give the banking management a new dimension in managing its knowledge and help in carrying out and maximizing the management's initiatives in harmonizing the appropriate strategies in the short and long-term (Edmondson, 2002). The information technology development enables utilization of a continuously expanding knowledge base (Haux, 1996). So, the information technology plays a major factor in expanding the dimension of knowledge management base in the financial organizations by processing the knowledge management, to gain the highest benefits, as Tanriverdi et al (2005) finds that IT relatedness of business units enhances the cross-unit KM capability of the firm, which then has a direct impact on corporate performance.…”

Recently, Knowledge Management System acquires high attention in all sectors, since it is a valuable instrument in improving performance. In this study, an explanatory research on evaluating knowledge management systems will be conducted for the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) based on a survey of decision makers working in the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB). It is our intention to evaluate the impact of implementing the knowledge management system on decision making by evaluating the impact of the knowledge key factors which are the information technology infrastructure, human resource, knowledge sharing and the culture of the organization. The study investigates the relationship between knowledge management and decision making. It reveals that the knowledge management factors are crucial indicators which need to be effectively implemented to make success decisions.

“…The amount of biomedical information doubles every 5 years [5]. PubMed/MEDLINE, maintained by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), is one of the largest and freely available biomedical bibliographic databases in the world [4-7] and considered as one of the most important and reliable healthcare information source by healthcare professionals [8,9]. PubMed/MEDLINE is also an important source for the literature-based discovery [10].…”

BackgroundThe practice of evidence-based medicine requires efficient biomedical literature search such as PubMed/MEDLINE. Retrieval performance relies highly on the efficient use of search field tags. The purpose of this study was to analyze PubMed log data in order to understand the usage pattern of search tags by the end user in PubMed/MEDLINE search.MethodsA PubMed query log file was obtained from the National Library of Medicine containing anonymous user identification, timestamp, and query text. Inconsistent records were removed from the dataset and the search tags were extracted from the query texts. A total of 2,917,159 queries were selected for this study issued by a total of 613,061 users. The analysis of frequent co-occurrences and usage patterns of the search tags was conducted using an association mining algorithm.ResultsThe percentage of search tag usage was low (11.38% of the total queries) and only 2.95% of queries contained two or more tags. Three out of four users used no search tag and about two-third of them issued less than four queries. Among the queries containing at least one tagged search term, the average number of search tags was almost half of the number of total search terms. Navigational search tags are more frequently used than informational search tags. While no strong association was observed between informational and navigational tags, six (out of 19) informational tags and six (out of 29) navigational tags showed strong associations in PubMed searches.ConclusionsThe low percentage of search tag usage implies that PubMed/MEDLINE users do not utilize the features of PubMed/MEDLINE widely or they are not aware of such features or solely depend on the high recall focused query translation by the PubMed’s Automatic Term Mapping. The users need further education and interactive search application for effective use of the search tags in order to fulfill their biomedical information needs from PubMed/MEDLINE.
