Abstract:	The UABMS (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Medical School) has set up a new project: to create a platform to help final-year students in clinical placements. Because these sessions involve dealing with real patients in university hospitals, it is essential for students to be able to respond quickly in cases where they may be unable to find answers to their doubts and queries. We consider the PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) to be a good solution; as it would enable easy access library to documentation, such as catalogues, data bases, digital journal, eBooks, etc in the field. The final objective is to make mobile devices a usual consultancy tool.
