Abstract
In 2003 the Department of Pediatrics at the Wayne State University School of Medicine, based at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, provided handheld devices (PDAs) to 105 pediatric residents. To support the technology and training needs of PDA users, an application was submitted and approved for a Technology Improvement Award from the Greater Midwest Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. The project consisted of acquiring the necessary equipment and PDA clinical software, creating a library staff education program, and developing procedures to circulate resources to library patrons.
