This study investigates the information behavior of the academic faculty, all practicing physicians, of the University of South Dakota School of Medicine (USDSM).  The study found that patient care (17.29%) was the most frequent motivator for seeking information.  Evidence-based medicine (20.75%) was the most frequently sought information, with journals (18.82%) being the most frequently used resource.  The faculty most frequently looked for information themselves (28.09%) and identified lack of time (34.21%), difficulty accessing electronic resources (28.95%), and lack of technology and searching skills (15.70%) as barriers to information.  The faculty identified better and easier access to electronic resources (54.85%) and more training in technology and searching skills (22.58%) as improvements to accessing information.  The study finds that the USDSM academic faculty need electronic access to evidence-based medicine at the point of patient care.
