Need to talk to your medical staff about the information resources you provide? Take a look at this:
Dr. Eugene Lin presented a paper at the Indiana Chapter meeting of the American College of Physicians in 2005 titled Staying Current. His slides may be viewed free at http://www.acponline.org/about_acp/chapters/in/slides_current.pdf
Dr. Lin describes the difficulties in finding the right information resources. He compares mailed versus internet-based CME, and details the most current and accurate resources. The slides include an extensive list of resources and a bibliography of works cited.

This is a useful and comprehensive presentation but it looks a bit like “old school” vs. “new school.” Web 1.0 vs . Web 2.0.
One of the reasons I started featuring Interesting Articles: A Weekly Review of the “Big Five” Medical Journals was to list some Web 2.0-ways to stay up-to-date with medical literature. This may complement the tools featured in Dr. Lin’s presentation linked above:
