Spoor, PA and Neilly, EM (2010) Preparing for practice: a higher education perspective. Commentary on... A clinical librarian pilot project in psychiatry. The Psychiatrist, 34. 68 - 70 (3). ISSN 1758-3217
Abstract
Research suggests that contact time between clinical team and clinical librarian can have a direct and positive impact on patient care through encouraging a more rigorous approach to information retrieval and appraisal of the evidence base. This commentary focuses on the findings of a specific clinical librarian pilot project in a mental health trust. It discusses how clinicians could be better supported to develop improved information literacy skills through initiatives in higher education and what impact this might have on the model of clinical librarianship proposed by the project.
