Abstract
This study evaluated the use of digital library of medicine by ZUMS faculty members and its effect on their scientific production. This study was a descriptive survey. Data was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire. Reliability of the questionnaire was estimated at 0.87 using Cronbach's alpha. The studied population consisted of ZUMS faculty members. Krejcie-Morgan table was used to determine the sample size (171). Results were analyzed using SPSS-20 software. the most used databases were Scopus and Elsevier. The results showed that the use of digital library of medicine was effective on knowledge production. Chi-square test showed that faculty members significantly had scientific production. Faculty members used digital library to produce research papers in foreign languages (66.7%) and Farsi (58.5%), present papers at national conferences (64.3%) and international conferences (56.1 %). the results showed that faculty members did not use all facilities of digital library; however, this limited use had a very important role in their scientific production.
