Development of user-configurable information source pages for medical information retrieval.
We describe the creation and evaluation of an online system which allows users to configure information delivery as filtered feeds, extracts from medical text information, and other resources in user-configurable layouts. The need for such a resource, expected advantages and evaluation with respect to speed of access, effectiveness of alerting, user priorities, information exchange among colleagues, serendipity effects, and usability are discussed.
