AGUILA GARCIA, Odalys; DELGADO PEREZ, Manuel  y  LOPEZ PEREZ, Raúl. Actions for further bibliographical support to residents in Biomedical Basic Sciences. Rev EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2014, vol.6, suppl.2, pp. 20-33. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: the main purpose of the reference services is to provide users with information about the location, information and access to all possible literature sources exhaustively. Objective: to prepare a whole series of actions to strengthen the bibliographic support that residents in Biomedical Basic Sciences need, at the Medical University of Villa Clara. Methods: in the Consultation and Reference area at the Information Provincial Center, in Villa Clara, a qualitative study was conducted from July 2009 to December 2013. Theoretical methods: historical-logical and analytic-synthetic and empirical ones: documentary analysis of resident's curriculums, information retrieval and the data obtained from report cards, were used; and residents, managers and skilled specialists were surveyed to inquire about the relevance of the document collections at the Consultation and Reference Service. Results: it is obvious that bibliographic collection is outdated, it lacks diversity and relevance, so actions were developed to achieve greater bibliographic support for the needs of residents, and in general, to make the entire service operational, by incorporating the personalized automated search service. Conclusions: according to expert group criteria, actions were assessed as relevant, because they contribute to the progressive transformation of the bibliographic support to the professional training process for basic biomedical sciences residents.
