[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] When an oncologist calls a medical research librarian and asks him to pull journal articles on a particular subject STAT because a patient's life is at risk and some new procedure might be the last resort, I'm damn glad that librarian has a masters degree, because that helps her know exactly what to look for, where, and right quick.[/quote]I sure hope an oncologist has learned how to find books in the library himself. And even an oncologist cannot provide patients with a new procedure. The health insurance companies have standardized care and it is very difficult for them to opt out of the norm.[/quote] you think an oncologist should spend his/her time looking for books in a library? [/quote] This scenario is just bizarre. My dh is a doctor; he can easily pull up any research he needs from digital libraries without going to a library or needing assistance from a librarian.[/quote] Maybe so. Good for him. Those databases of searchable articles are not free however, and not always user friendly. Organizations, like large hospitals and large medical schools/teaching hospitals, employ medical librarians to manage that overload of information. They manage subscriptions, manage information budgets, and can quickly and efficiently find related articles in a subject area. My husband is a physician too, and has often gone to the librarian for an article, because he doesn't want to spend time tracking the article down. He is happy when it appears in his email in pdf format with a nice note from the medical center librarian. I am not sure what is so bizarre about that. [/quote]
