“…Despite decades of experience, knowledge on the outcomes of DIS especially in primary care is scanty. Several studies proved that the number of medication errors in hospitals could be reduced by DIS [3]. In addition, studies showed considerable cost savings as a result of pharmacist-run DIS [4].…”

“…Greenhalgh et al [3] suggested that an information service should be judged on at least two aspects of quality: an academic dimension, concerning the technical quality of the evidence based answers, and a service dimension, concerning the facilitation of questioning behaviour and implementation.…”

“…In 2002, Trisha Greenhalgh and colleagues [19] described and compared two models of 'informaticist' service, 'one more academically rigorous with a research component and little personal contact with practitioners and the other based in a general practice and one that took a more flexible, facilitative approach'.…”

Current information is a critical component of good healthcare. In this article we offer a definition of a new health professional, the 'informationist', whose function it is to ensure evidence-based health practice. We describe the literature and discussions that led to the proposal of this new role, and offer a description of the steps being taken to further elaborate this career. In particular, we describe efforts at Johns Hopkins to train informationists and informaticists and to offer services that lead to the integration of these and other information professionals into clinical care, public health and research.

“…Some libraries will experience demand for specialized services based on local needs. 56 Known solutions include variants of the clinical medical librarian role 57,58 or the medical informaticist role. 59 Library staff at a government research institute who provide researchers with assistance in the form of extensive literature searching and synthesis of gene annotation information indicated in unpublished interviews that they are both challenged and intellectually stimulated by the activity.…”

This article describes a planning process for the development of bioinformatics education and information services in an academic health sciences library.The project's five goals were to: (1) understand the changing environment for information related to bioinformatics; (2) understand the information needs of faculty whose work involves bioinformatics; (3) explore potential service offerings; (4) anticipate factors influencing the implementation of new services; and (5) envision strategies for recruiting and training information professionals to fill these roles. The authors describe the library's practice environment and review recent research on the information needs of biomedical researchers and clinicians. A variety of potential library-based services in relation to bioinformatics are enumerated, and the institutional, environmental, and personnel factors affecting the deployment of services are examined. Finally, the authors describe the educational and training context of the library, and explore potential roles for librarians and information professionals in the context of bioinformatics services.his article describes the process of planning specialized service and resource offerings within the Health Sciences Library (HSL) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) for health sciences faculty working in the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics.Such nontraditional services have been discussed recently in the library and medical literatures as ways to address the evolving information needs of biomedical researchers, educators, and clinicians and as examples of the evolving roles of information professionals in the sciences. This framework is offered as a stimulus W. John MacMullen is a Doctoral Student in the
