Information seeking behavior of medical students

Based on my personal experience and observations at AIIMS Library, it is worth saying that librarians exercise less control of the learning environment than they used to.
In medical colleges, students are no longer dependent on carefully selected textbooks or the authoritative collections in the medical library. Rather, they face and take advantage of a vast, often unstructured, mass of information.

So, all the library services should be facilitated through web so as to increase the use of valuable library resources.
