In mid-2025, the 3rd Faculty of Medicine will decide on the purchase of electronic information resources for the period 2026 - 2028. These are:
- UpToDate - a resource for medical practice that provides quick answers to clinical questions, synthetic recommendations for treatment and patient care, and contains a database of drugs and interactions.
- Karger - a collection of e-journals and online guides for doctors, nurses, and medical students.
- Thieme MedOne - a collection of e-book titles from the Thieme publishing house - textbooks, reference guides, and atlases in the field of medicine and nursing.
The prices of these resources range in the hundreds of thousands.
At the instruction of the management, we prepared a survey of interest in the above-mentioned e-resources, because the usage statistics are not sufficiently informative. The resource that may not be extended in the next period due to very high costs is UpToDate.
We kindly ask you to fill out the questionnaire so that we can map the interest and need for the given e-resource for the academic community of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine. The results of the questionnaire survey will help in future decisions about which e-resources will be subscribed to in the next period.
Thank you for your cooperation.
