Barriers to use in clinical practice included time, awareness, and issues of guide design and cognitive load. The results of this study will help inform the development of customized subject guides targeting this special population. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
