Evaluation of a library program in a Carnegie model area health education center.

RESUMO

The evaluation strategy of a medical library program within an Area Health Education Center is described. One of about thirty programs in the AHEC project, this library program was singled out as the first to be evaluated both because it was considered a key part of the total program and because a fair amount of quantitative data were available for measurement. Eleven hospitals of the thirty-nine in the area were selected for the study. Two specific and measurable objectives, the evaluation method, instruments, and results are presented. Finally, several important issues raised in conjunction with the evaluation are discussed in terms of the implications of evaluation and policy making.
