title: Bored, yawning residents falling asleep during orientation? Wake 'em up with a test!.
abstract: The librarians at the Grady Branch Library of Emory University School of Medicine describe the Ovid MEDLINE pretest given to incoming residents. The pretest is a "wake-up call" to the residents who have an inflated perception about their searching skills. This pretest gives the new residents an incentive to listen carefully to the Ovid MEDLINE presentation during the orientation of incoming residents.
