“…The Informationist can be more than simply the gatekeeper and disseminator of information. 10 A true partnership can take place between information professionals and clinical practitioners as a move away from the traditional transaction-based relationship between the librarian and clinician takes place. It is becoming increasingly important for clinicians to receive targeted and succinct information on-the-go and at the point of care and the Informationist is in an excellent position to support these needs.…”

The information services offered by Embedded Librarians over the years have led to the more modern-and domain knowledge-specific-role of the Informationist. A 10-point questionnaire was developed and used to interview 12 attending physicians and three fellows chosen at random. The participants are either on the research track (n = 3) or the clinical track (n = 9). A two-part schematic was also created to capture more detailed feedback about the information needs and information-seeking behavior of clinicians regarding patient care (clinical) and research activities. Bibliographic management tool use and time-related factors were also captured in the interviews and written schematics. The role of the Informationist is an emerging, yet valuable one to assigned clinical groups. Clinician's knowledge-base, current awareness, productivity, and evidence-based care can be improved by use of Informationist services.

“…Medical practice traditionally has been subject to information gaps caused by the inevitable time lag between medical advances and their gradual dissemination through the literature to physicians [1][2][3]. Although most medical libraries offer physicians a computerized list of possible source articles, review and selection of the best articles are services not generally available [4].…”

In order to simplify access to the medical radiology literature, a clinical information service was created within an academic radiology department. The program, adminis tered by a clinical medical librarian, provides literature search services and current literature selection for in-house faculty and staff members to answer questions related to patient management, research, publication, and conference preparation. Additional services are provided through selective bibliographies and "current awareness" searches, both updated frequently, and a monthly journal table-of-contents packet in the areas of radiologic diagnosis/nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. The clinical medical librarian also administers a departmental learning resource center and teaching files. Development of a subscription information service for practicing radiologists is discussed. The medical library and Department of Radiology at our institution began a CML program that expanded into a comprehensive information service. We detail the establishment of that CML/radiology information service and discuss (1) program objectives and implementation, (2) search services, (3) current-aware ness services, (4) learning resource center facilities and teaching file, (5) admin istrative staff, and (6) marketing of the service to individual physicians and to groups in practice. Program Description Objectives and ImplementationIn the fall of 1978, the library of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine/North Carolina Baptist Hospital Medical Center designated a full-time librarian to serve the information needs of the Department of Radiology as a pilot project. The department incorporates into one administrative unit sections on diagnostic
