It also entails a model system that would assist the user detect information requirements at the time of necessity, providing effective reach to resource that could help in remolding the need and finally generate a quality-refined reaction. The role of libraries in the sphere of Education Support is emphasized in the publication 'Handbook of Medical Library Practice' in terms of its responsibility for imparting education to its users on a daily basis. The role has been considered to be passive in nature and is practiced as a mater of routine till 1960. (Messerle, 1990).

             Since then however, there prevails a growing trend in health science libraries to interact actively with users by entailing instruction in bibliographic technique. The librarians acknowledge organization of information is very crucial for their effective functioning. Studies have been made for development of strategies for articulating likeness and dissimilarity of the flow of information. The development of databases, personal information management systems and new hypertext works contribute significantly in respect of continuing education. Irrespective of the fact that the librarians of health sciences libraries do not frequently consider the continuing education as a significant part of their role the libraries are quite intensely embedded in their user perception of their own continuing education.

             Taking this aspect into consideration it is increasingly felt that the conventional methods as well as the present day practice is necessitated to vary so as to cope with new understanding of learning, new information technology and management strategies and the pace at which new knowledge develops. (Messerle, 1990) While the academic medicine has concentrated on the generalist physicians both as an instructor and service provider, medical schools have detected a necessity to generate enhanced techniques for improving the academic competencies of physicians.
