PURPOSE: The study evaluated medical students' familiarity with information literacy and informatics during the health sciences library orientation. METHODS: A survey was fielded at the start of the 2013 school year. RESULTS: Seventy-two of 77 students (94%) completed the survey. Over one-half (57%) expected to use library research materials and services. About half (43%) expected to use library physical space. Students preferred accessing biomedical research on laptops and learning via online-asynchronous modes. CONCLUSIONS: The library identified areas for service development and outreach to medical students and academic departments.
