Summary: THE AIM OF THE STUDY IS TO IDENTIFY PATIENT INFORMATION
NEEDS AND SOURCES. A SURVEY WAS CARRIED OUT INCLUDING 178 PATIENTS IN 6
ZAGREB UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS. RESULTS SHOW THAT HOSPITAL LIBRARIES HAVE NO
ROLE IN PATIENT INFORMATION. THERE IS A GAP IN THE PROVISION OF PATIENT
ORIENTED PUBLICATIONS. PHYSICIANS ARE STILL THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ALMOST
EXCLUSIVE SOURCE OF INFORMATION. ELEMENTS AFFECTING PATIENT INFORMATION ARE
NOT ONLY INHERENT TO MEDICINE BUT TO THE SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. CROATIAN
NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM DID NOT ENCOURAGE INFORMATION-SEEKING BEHAVIOR AT
ALL. PATIENT EDUCATION SHOULD BE BASED ON A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
INVOLVING PHYSICIANS, LIBRARIANS AND BOOK EDITORS.

Summary: Autarkic and extensive development of medicine together
withinsufficient economic development causes inadequate developmentof
information infrastructure. The characteristics of so-calledscientific
periphery and dependence on scientific informationimport requires modern
information technology. The current statusof medical libraries in Croatia
and Yugoslavia with respect tomany indicators (number of professional
staff, foreignperiodicals, indexes and the range of library services)
isunsatisfactory. The System of Biomedical Scientific Informationintroduces
an organized approach to biomedical users. The aim ofthe System is to
ensure the flow of foreign biomedicalinformation and literature and the
bibliographic control ofnational publication output. The System is based on
the existinginstitutional background and most of all promotes
libraries'cooperation. Using international standards in its database
andlibrary services the System supports professionalism in
medicallibraries.

Summary: Research activity of an institution can be measured by the
numberand type of its publications. The bibliography of the sourceitems
published by faculty members of the Zagreb UniversitySchool of Medicine in
the journals indexed by Science CitationIndex (SCI), in the period between
1989 and 1991, was analysed.When the number of articles published (190) was
related to thenumber of faculty members (386), the result was 0,49
articles permember. All article-type bibliography items were
classifiedaccording to Journal Citation Reports (JCR) subject
categories.The greatest number of articles was published in the fields
ofpharmacology and pharmacy (26), biochemistry and molecularbiology (13),
neurosciences (11) and radiology and nuclearmedicine (11). In the genetics,
immunology, cytology andhistology (including biology of the cell) and
microbiologysubject categories journals the number of articles was
thesmallest. In the physiology group of journals there was noarticle
published. Research activity being only a part of overallSchool of Medicine
activities, its share of 14,9% in the totalZagreb scientific institutions
SCI publications number, may beconsidered a satisfactory result.

Summary: This paper examines one aspect of relation between
thepossibilities of information availability in Croatian medicallibraries
and System of Biomedical Scientific Information. Ourinterest is focused on
development of automation in libraries andits influence on their
possibility to follow qualitativeimprovement offered by the System. As
automation is the basis ofmodern access to information it also indicates
the range oflibrary services. The data were obtained by a
questionnairesurvey conducted in 24 Croatian medical libraries. Results
showthat the state of automation in libraries is inadequate for usageof the
System. The concept of library development is greatlyinfluenced by parent
institution. Interlibrary connections becomevery important for promoting an
indipendent library development.

Summary: Croatia has a very distinguished bibliographic tradition in
thefield of medicine. In 1980 the development of the YugoslavBiomedical
Information System was started. The two main goalswere to ensure both the
bibliographic control of localinformation sources and better access to
foreign literature inlocal medical libraries. Since 1992 Croatia has been
developingthe System independently. The 28 Croatian medical
librariescooperate efficiently within the System. National
bibliographicdatabase Biomedicina Croatica has been maintained and has
about13,000 bibliographic records by now. The Union List of
MedicalPeriodicals in Croatian Libraries, a factual database, has alsobeen
maintained and updated annually. The development of theSystem copes with
the problem of inadequate informationinfrastructure, lack of elementary
equipment and undefined roleof National and University Library in relation
to other centraluniversity libraries. Croatian Academic and Research
Network(CARNet) will be available to academic and research librariesonly
which will increase the difference in quality and quantityof services
between them and other medical libraries. Thedevelopment of medical
libraries and their System is dependent onwider social context which is
outside the control of individuallibrary or its parent institution.

Summary: Scientific communication proceeds in two directions:
scientistsboth generate and receive (use) information. The aim of
thisresearch is to determine the extent to which the language of
ascientifically peripheral country - Croatia, represents a barrierin the
communication with the world scientific community and ifthere is a
relationship between the language of a research paperand its quality. The
effect of the language of a research paperis studied in relation to both
aspects of scientificcommunication: information generation (1st relation)
andinformation use (2nd relation). The first relation was studied ona
sample of research papers produced in Croatia. In order toexamine the
relation quantity (papers in Croatian) - quality(papers in major world
language) two indicators of quality wereused: citedness of the papers in
the sample and authors' ownassessment obtained from a survey. The second
relation wasstudied on the basis of an analysis of the library collection
andthe use of journals in the largest medical library in Croatia.The
results show that as far as the 2nd relation is concerned,the language is
not a barrier, but the study of the 1st relationshow that papers written in
Croatian are neither cited norranked among the top ones by their authors.
This points to aconclusion that the language of a scientifically
peripheralcommunity used in a research paper is an intentionally
chosenbarrier in the communication with the world which hindersworldwide
verification and affects the quality of researchpapers.

Summary: European 1992 - is the year of political integration
anddisegrations. For Croatia this year means the break with acertain state
structure (Yugoslavia) and a certain socialstructute (the so-called
real-socialism). By its urge foraffirmation, Croatia is no different from
any other smallEuropean nation and her strong regional particularities
arecertainly going to be the basis of this affirmation. However,biomedicine
and information transfer are in themselves notnationally determined.
The paper describes the state of biomedical sciences in Croatiain
comparison to comparable European countries (particularythrough the number
of published information) as well as thepresent state and the possible
development of biomedicalinformation infrastructure.
The conspicuous dependence upon the import of biomedicalinformation on one
hand and the need for bibliographic controland access to the local
information sources on the other hand,speak for the efficient local
organization, but also for a widerregional and/or international
co-operation. In her search forbetter solutions in the future, Croatia will
be in need of theexperiences and help of better developed.

Summary: In 1989 Central Medical Library of the Faculty of Medicine
inZagreb introduced on-line searches of biomedical databases (viahost DIMDI
in Koeln) and CD ROM searches (Medline, Embase andSCISearch) in its library
service. From July 1, 1989 to April 1,1991 we had 338 on-line and 693 CD
ROM searches.
In order to evaluate the usage of new media we send aquestionnaire to their
users. Structure of the users, reasons forsearching and cost effectiveness
were analysed. We also enquiredhow well our library users were informed
about accessability ofbiomedical databases at the Faculty of Medicine.
Results show that new media changed the structure of libraryusers and
attracted physicians from other institutions and townsespecially when
writing master or doctoral theses. Greatestnumber of requests was from
preclinical subjects. The cost ofsearches was acceptable to most users.
Medical professionals werepoorely informed about new services in the
library.
The future development of Central Medical Library has to be seenin wider
context since it has become a biomedical informationcenter for the whole
Croatia.
