Abstract

This article aims at finding the ways, on the basis of the studies about the behaviors to search the existing CD-ROM databases, so that the searchers who retrieve the on-line MEDLINE used in the medical libraries can use the data more efficiently than now. We gave the questionnaires to the librarians in 60 medical libraries and searched the literatures and realities on the behaviors of the data uses to examine the search behaviors of the MEDLINE in the medical libraries. The result is as follows: 1) The medical data system rate for single users was <TEX>$53\%$</TEX> and the ons for multi users <TEX>$43\%$</TEX>. As for the time which users retrieve for a week, under two hours was <TEX>$75\%$</TEX>, between 3 and 8 hours <TEX>$18.3\%$</TEX>, and eve. 9 hours <TEX>$6.7\%$</TEX>. 2) The increasing factors of the search result are (1) an enough discussion and interview between librarians and users, and (2) the use of the correct indexing terms, Thesaurus, and Keyword. In principle users must search directly. However, the librarians searched instead in case that the retrieval result was under two hours a week<TEX>$(75\%)$</TEX>. 3) As for the search fee, <TEX>$91\%$</TEX> was free and <TEX>$9\%$</TEX> was charged. Also search effectiveness was enhanced by the means of Inter-Library Loan Service & Information Network. 4) The medical librarians answered the questionnaire that they need the application education of professional knowledge, medical terms(thesaurus) and electronic medium, and also they need the computer education, interview technique and reeducation to give a satisfactory service. 5) As for the satisfactory degree of MEDLINE application, they answered <TEX>$44.6\%$</TEX> for economy, <TEX>$38.2\%$</TEX> for the conveniency of the time required, and <TEX>$58.9\%$</TEX> for the users' search satisfaction answered respectively. 6) The application of MEDLINE system enhanced the medical libraries' image and had an effect on the users' satisfaction of using the data and search, the data activities and the research achievement. 7) In the past MeSH was used but as the time passes CD-ROM MEDLINE search behavior was preferred to On-line one.
