Abstract

Managing information (searching, evaluating, adopting, analyzing, creating and publishing new information) is an essential part of doing science. In this study, we looked into the information practices of the researchers working in the Helsinki University Central Hospital and the University of Helsinki medical faculty. The focus was especially on clinical researchers. The purpose of this study was to chart researchers’ information behavior, and on the basis of this knowledge further develop Terkko’s services to be even more integrated to researchers’ work processes.
