Abstract
CARRANZA CORTES, José Luis. Application of information and communication technologies for the search of scientific information in the graduate of medical specialties. Anest. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.1, pp.18-25. ISSN 2448-8771.
Graduate students of medical specialties require the use of additional resources apart from those traditionally used to search for scientific information. The general objective of the study is to propose the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve the search for scientific information; specifically with the application of Boolean search engines.
Material and method.
A mixed qualitative / quantitative study is presented. The following measurement instruments were applied in the study; Survey, questionnaire and field study.
Results.
It was observed in the results, that 60% of the students, accept the TIC, as tools of support for the search of scientific information. 40% of the students identify the usefulness of the Boolean search engines. Forty students participated in the field study; In a data collection sheet, information was captured from each student and the two procedures were used, the usual one-the student, and the Boolean search. These results were analyzed using the Chi Square (X²) statistical index.
Conclusión:
the use of Boolean search engines, is ideal, easy to apply and requires less time. More appointments are obtained and these are more select, which improves the search for scientific information.
Keywords : Information and Communication Technologies; Boolean Seekers.
