Abstract
This paper seeks to determine whether or not the Information Rx program has been promoted and utilized by Georgia librarians and Georgia American College of Physicians (GACP) members. The participants in this study were members of the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS), the Georgia Health Sciences Library Association (GHSLA), and the GACP. Two electronic surveys were created, one to be completed by GACP members and a separate survey to be completed by GPLS and GHSLA members. There were also face-to-face interviews with academic medical librarians. The data from the surveys as well as the face-to-face interviews suggest that Information Rx needs to be promoted more and perhaps targeted to a different audience. Librarians need to be more involved in the process because they are best able to help physicians and patients navigate and understand MedlinePlus.
