title: Integrating and evaluating online bibliographic searching with clinical experiences of third year medical students.
abstract: In this paper, we describe the Clinical Health Information Retrieval Project (CHIRP), a trial program which provided online access to MEDLINE for third year students on medicine and pediatrics clerkships at The University of North Carolina School of Medicine. We present the project evaluation plan, report data from student questionnaires and interviews with the chief residents, clerkship directors, and clerkship coordinators, identify problems encountered, and address considerations for extension of the project.
