Aim: Choosing a field of study affects different aspects of people's lives. Therefore, the influencing factors of the choice of students can contribute to the transparency of this issue. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study, conducted in 2019. The 243 people who made the sample were selected through Morgan table from the population which consisted of all the librarianship and medical information students between 2015 and 2019 in undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs. The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 by independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The results indicated that among the five components of "interest in the field", "employment, income and social status", "the role of family and friends", "personal motivations and service to society" and "academic position and teaching staff of the university"; The component of "academic position and academic staff of the university" had the highest average (3 . 35) and the component of "role of family and friends" had the lowest (2 . 17). Conclusion: Since the name and academic position of the university had the greatest impact on the choice of field according to the results, it is expected that the authorities of public universities set the foundations for the scientific growth and prosperity of students. It is also recommended that programs be prepared to inform the students about the fields of librarianship and medical information at school level and through social media so that this field is selected with personal interest and high motivation.

Aim: Congenital anomalies are one of the leading causes of disabilities and mortality in children worldwide. We aimed to set up a system for scientific registration to reduce perinatal mortality and improve the quality of health services. Methods: As an applied developmental research in 2020, we launched a web-based hospital registration and surveillance system for major congenital anomalies by C# programming language hosted at "mis.hums.ac.ir". Data management was comprised of a) registration of anomalies b) training how to use ICD10 c) imaging specific cases d) assessing the accuracy of the data e) sending information to definite centers. All the live births, fetal deaths and pregnancy termination along with physical examination, reviewing hospital records and parental interviews were recorded. The present system is of two compartments including 43 maternal and 20 neonatal elements. Results: Initially, the system was set up based on hospital data in two main referral hospitals in Bandar Abbas. Next, all the hospitals in the province, were gradually covered by the system in an active and passive combination. Major congenital anomalies are registered using ICD-10. During the first four months after starting the project, one thousand births were registered and 18 cases of congenital malformations were observed and confirmed. Conclusion: This study provides the minimum data set required to record congenital anomalies for the first time in southern Iran. This event can be useful in designing electronic patient records. This, itself, will improve perinatal health indicators, particularly, prevention and management of congenital birth

Aim: Evidence-based education is the use of the best scientific evidence in all aspects of education and integration of professional knowledge with empirical evidence in education. There is little desire to use electronic evidence in education for reasons such as lack of access to credible scientific resources and lack of time. The purpose of this study was to design an electronic resources evaluation framework for evidence-based education in medical sciences. Methods: This applied descriptive study was performed by Delphi method. The statistical population consisted of 12 specialists in evidence-based medicine, medical education, social medicine, medical librarianship and information, medical informatics and health information management of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and some other universities. The data collection tool was a researcher-made checklist. The Excel software was used for analyzing the data and CVR and CVI indices were calculated for each data set. Results: Finally, of 182 criteria in the initial checklist, 60 criteria were approved by experts and entered the framework. The criteria related to the recovery and website services received the highest score by the specialists. The criteria of coverage, efficiency, hyperlink and guideline were omitted from the final framework due to not obtaining the required score. Conclusion: The present study resulted in developing a framework of criteria for evaluating electronic resources of evidence-based education with 60 criteria for evaluating electronic resources of evidence-based education in medical sciences.
