    Area of Science:

    • Health Sciences Information Management
    • Continuing Medical Education
    • Hospital Library Services

    Background:

    • Small and remote hospitals face challenges in accessing updated health sciences literature and developing information retrieval skills.
    • Continuing education is vital for hospital personnel to stay abreast of healthcare advancements.
    • Existing hospital libraries often lack resources to meet comprehensive information needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a circuit librarian program in supporting continuing education for hospital personnel.
    • To assess the program's role in connecting community hospitals with a university health sciences center.
    • To explore the program's impact on literature access and peer interaction.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementation of a circuit librarian program connecting hospitals with a central health sciences library (CHSL).
  • Direct consultation between the CHSL director and university medical/nursing deans and professors.
  • Individualized information retrieval and delivery by the circuit librarian based on hospital personnel requests.

    • Main Results:

    • The circuit librarian program acts as a catalyst for establishing vital relationships between hospitals and the university health sciences center.
    • University schools have committed to addressing identified continuing education needs from hospitals.
    • The program successfully provides access to health sciences literature and facilitates peer interaction for information exchange.

    Conclusions:

    • The circuit librarian program is an effective model for meeting the continuing education and literature access needs of community hospitals.
    • This program fosters essential collaborations between healthcare institutions and academic health sciences centers.
    • It promotes professional development and knowledge sharing among hospital personnel, especially in underserved areas.
