Abstract
Problem Based Learning (PBL) was introduced into the Manchester curriculum for 250 medical and 80 dental undergraduates in 1994/95 in response to the need for tomorrow’s doctors and dentists to develop life-long learning skills.1,2 Working in tutorial groups of fourteen, they study a different clinical case or normal situation each week, setting their own learning objectives to derive a plausible explanation for the case. The need for students to develop skills in finding, retrieving and using information from the library was identified early in the planning process.
