Abstract
Examining the strategic selection and utilization of library resources by medical students could enhance library services for this demographic. A narrative case study focused on a medical student who served as a medical library assistant for three years. Analyses were directed by particular questions. Discussions address the effectiveness of library resources in fulfilling medical students' information needs, potential areas for enhancement, and directions for future research. Libraries are essential for addressing the information needs of medical students. This case study demonstrates methods to enhance library services in response to the evolving educational needs of future physicians.
