Description

Written by experts working in academic medical centers, Clinical Medical Librarianship: A Primer provides inside guidance for developing, implementing, and improving clinical medical library services.  The book leverages the experiences of past clinical medical library programs and how those experiences inform future services. Clinical Medical Librarianship provides descriptions of innovative initiatives and programs such as a curriculum for teaching the next generation of medical librarians, recognizing the importance of patient-centered care, and strengthening relationships with clinicians. In pace with the flow of evolving medical technology and patient care practices, the role of medical libraries and clinical librarians in academic medical centers is ever expanding. Clinical librarians teach medical students, residents, fellows, and new librarians; effect patient care by providing timely clinical information to healthcare providers; and increasingly engage directly with patients and their families by inserting patient education information into electronic medical records, and by contributing their expertise to patient-centered care initiatives. The contributors describe innovative programs and efforts currently in place at leading academic health centers. Practicing medical librarians, library students considering a career in health sciences, and library science instructors will find Clinical Medical Librarianship: A Primer an informative and helpful read.

Author Biography:

Judy Stribling is the Assistant Director of Clinical Services at the Samuel J. Wood Library & C.V. Starr Biomedical Information Center at Weill Cornell Medical College. She is also the Manager of the Myra Mahon Patient Resource Center (PRC). Judy and other Clinical Medical Librarian team members impact patient care through many activities including: rounding with providers, attending morning reports, providing targeted evidence-based literature on topics of relevance to current clinical cases, and assisting physicians with the identification and integration of mobile information tools into their clinical workflows. Additionally, Judy teaches medical literature searching skills in the application of evidence-based medicine in the Neurology Clerkship. In her role at the PRC, Judy and her staff provide free, up-to-date information about diseases, medications and wellness topics to patients, families, and caregivers. Health consumers are welcome to visit the PRC during scheduled health and wellness seminars, to conduct research on the PRC computers, to relax in between appointments and to consult with Judy. Consumer health and the integration of technology and patient education is the focus of Judy’s academic interest. Recent research projects included the introduction of electronic tablets in clinical waiting areas and posting health seminars on YouTube. Judy is the Past Chair of the Consumer and Patient Health Information Section (CAPHIS) of the Medical Library Association (MLA). She is also certified by MLA as an Academy of Health Information Professional (AHIP).
