Sažetak
The paper presents the results of three surveys. The first one is a survey on the use of the Internet and network resources provided by the School of Medicine among all second year students conducted in 2000 by the Central Medical Library of the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb. The other two surveys were conducted on two generations of second year students, the 2010 and the 2012, in order to test the hypothesis that every new generation of students that enroll the School have better computer and information literacy skills. The comparison of the results of all three surveyed groups have shown an increase in the use of the Internet (62% in 2000 vs. 98% in 2010 and 2012 groups) and e-mail communication (67% in 2000 vs. 96% and 98% in 2010 and 2012 groups respectively). More than a half of the respondents used the Internet for entertainment and searching general information. Only 4% of the respondents in 2010 and 2012 groups used the Internet for learning and exam preparations. Also, the research have shown that the students’ access rates to the Library website are still low ( 4% in 2000 vs. 19% in 2012 group), and require an additional content improvement and promotion of the website.
