Abstract
Do students need MEDLINE instruction? Do self-described knowledge and search skills match actual ability? To address these questions, librarians developed an assessment tool, a self-administered pre-test/post-test of eighteen skills and concepts taught in the MEDLINE class. By their own assessment, 70% or more of the medical and dental students learned something about each concept taught during the workshop. The study convinced faculty and students that the MED-LINE class is necessary. Librarians and associated faculty agree that the class is important and should continue to be mandatory
