“…Librarians have provided valuable input in collaborations with physicians in the design and implementation of medical school and residency curricula [ 9 , 10 ]. At the University of Michigan, librarians partnered with deans of graduate medical education to create a curriculum to teach information-gathering skills to address the “Problem Based Learning and Improvement” competency [ 11 ]. At Stony Brook University, pediatric faculty collaborated with a medical librarian in the creation of a 3-year longitudinal curriculum for pediatric residents [ 7 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Objective:The research sought to identify the general use of medical librarians in pediatric residency training, to define the role of medical librarians in teaching evidence-based medicine (EBM) to pediatric residents, and to describe strategies and curricula for teaching EBM used in pediatric residency training programs.Methods:We sent a 13-question web-based survey through the Association of Pediatric Program Directors to 200 pediatric residency program directors between August and December 2015.Results:A total of 91 (46%) pediatric residency program directors responded. Most (76%) programs had formal EBM curricula, and more than 75% of curricula addressed question formation, searching, assessment of validity, generalizability, quantitative importance, statistical significance, and applicability. The venues for teaching EBM that program directors perceived to be most effective included journal clubs (84%), conferences (44%), and morning report (36%). While 80% of programs utilized medical librarians, most of these librarians assisted with scholarly or research projects (74%), addressed clinical questions (62%), and taught on any topic not necessarily EBM (58%). Only 17% of program directors stated that librarians were involved in teaching EBM on a regular basis. The use of a librarian was not associated with having an EBM curriculum but was significantly associated with the size of the program. Smaller programs were more likely to utilize librarians (100%) than were medium (71%) or large programs (75%).Conclusions:While most pediatric residency programs have an EBM curriculum and engage medical librarians in various ways, librarians’ expertise in teaching EBM is underutilized. Programs should work to better integrate librarians’ expertise, both in the didactic and clinical teaching of EBM.

Teaching roles and curriculum development appear to operate best when developed in collaboration with educational administrators; there are many examples of successful collaborations between health librarians and public health departments . Parallels between the MLA areas of knowledge and those of the public health workforce were demonstrated by Banks and illustrate successful partnerships between health science librarians and public health communities.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this review was to uncover areas of competence which may lead to a baseline of skills for health librarians. A baseline could inform personal development plans for health librarians, criteria for job descriptions and curriculum for library and information science (LIS) courses. Methods: This research outlines existing competencies for librarians working in health care as defined by library associations, recent job descriptions and a mapping review of the library and information science literature. This is performed in the context of librarians working in the Irish health system with examples of practice drawn from the Irish experience. Results: Ten areas of competence were found to be common to three of five library associations, which were also common to recent job descriptions. The literature reveals an ever changing working environment for librarians working in health with opportunities for new and evolving roles. Conclusions: The challenge for librarians moving into these roles will be to stay relevant and to keep skills updated in a rapidly moving health and information environment.Keywords: competencies; health education; Northern Ireland; Southern Ireland (Eire); librarians; libraries; professional associations Key Messages• Professional library associations representing health librarians need to develop education policies that include specific competencies for librarians working in health care.• Library associations should consider collaborating internationally to formulate education policies and standards tailored specifically to health librarians and libraries.• The authors recommend fundamental revision of curricula in library and information schools in Ireland and the UK to include the baseline competencies described.• Health librarians should consider a baseline of 10 competency areas when drawing up personal professional development plans.
