The final report for the "Point of Care to Their Palms: Medical Libraries Provide Critical Knowledge-Based Resources, Technology and Training to Medical Professionals" LSTA grant is now available at http://pdagrant.osfsaintfrancis.org/shortfinal.htm. The report chronicles a nine-month project (October 2001-May 2002) undertaken by the OSF Saint Francis Medical Center Library & Resource Center and the University of Illinois at Chicago Library of the Health Sciences-Peoria. Through this project, the library staffs were able to provide handheld computers, associated peripheral equipment, general and specialized software and applications, training, technical support, e-content and various discussion methods (websites, blogs, and email discussion groups) to enable healthcare professionals to use and evaluate the use of PDAs in real-life, real-work situations. The grant also enabled the libraries to host a conference for librarians on the use of PDAs in libraries. In addition to the final report, there is information at the project website at http://pdagrant.osfsaintfrancis.org. Carol Galganski, Manager, Library & Resource Center, OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, served as Project Director for the grant.
