Clinical Librarian Program

Clinical Librarian Program
Clinical Librarian Program
The Health Science Libraries provide Clinical Library services to:
  • The Department of Medicine
  • The Department of Surgery
  • The Department of Nursing
  • Connecticut Children’s Medical Center
The Clinical Librarian’s primary responsibility is for the rapid delivery of value filtered information in support of patient care.
  • S/he, as a member of the patient care team, listens to discussions of patient care problems, taking care to note questions that can best be answered by knowledge-based information from the library.
  • S/he quality filters information delivered back to the patient care team, finding the best references for the specific case in question.
  • Clinical Librarians significantly contribute to patient safety by providing practitioners with the latest patient care information in a timely manner, reducing distractions, thus allowing them time to concentrate on their own primary responsibility - patient care.
