To address this knowledge gap, an e-Delphi research study was used to develop recommended tasks that librarians should consider when consolidating the delivery of library services to a newly merged, geographically distributed healthcare system.Methods: This e-Delphi study was conducted and reported according to the Guidance on Conducting and REporting DElphi Studies (CREDES). The expert panel, composed of 29 hospital librarians, responded to four rounds of questionnaires during April to December 2022. In Round 1, the panelists' qualitative responses were collected and analyzed via thematic analysis to identify potential recommended tasks. In Rounds 2 through 4, tasks were eliminated or prioritized based upon the panelists' rating of each task using a seven-point Likert scale. Those tasks rated as 5, 6, or 7 by ≥75% of the panelists were included in the final consensus statement.Results: The consensus statement identifies 330 recommended tasks. Highly prioritized tasks involve cultivating beneficial relationships with others throughout the merger, particularly newly blended library teams, finance and administrative leadership, information technology/services, and vendors. Marketing and outreach activities and physical library space management tasks were not prioritized. The panelists emphasized understanding organizational context and culture throughout any merger.Conclusions: The recommended tasks can be used by hospital librarians to create an action plan for consolidating and delivering library services in the event of a healthcare system merger or acquisition. Future research on the utility of the recommendations is anticipated.","PeriodicalId":47690,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Library Association","volume":"114 2","pages":"125-135"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13075583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With fewer library staff than comparable institutions and an engaged, multidisciplinary clinical workforce, we face ongoing pressures to do more with less and to demonstrate our value.Case presentation: A 2021 article in the Journal of Hospital Librarianship offered an existing survey and basic project design that we used to assess our impacts. We adapted, with permission, the survey and methods of \"Analysis of a Hospital Librarian Mediated Literature Search Service at a Regional Health Service in Australia,\" a quality improvement project authored by Siemensma et al. (2021) [1]. Throughout 2023 we sent the adapted survey to all employees and affiliated clinicians who requested literature searches. The survey included five multiple choice questions as well as a free text box for comments. Respondents were asked to provide simple demographic information and consider the impact and quality of results they received from the librarian.Conclusions: Our survey-based evaluation of our literature search service underscores the importance of librarian-mediated literature searches for clinical practice, policy development, and patient care. Demonstrating hospital library impacts is increasingly important and increasingly challenging for understaffed teams. Assessments using previously published surveys are feasible for non-academic libraries and serve as compelling cases for the continued and expanded integration of library resources into clinical practice and decision-making.","PeriodicalId":47690,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Library Association","volume":"114 2","pages":"164-168"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13075576/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each question was answered by a medical information scientist and submitted to five LLM tools: ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek, and Grok-3. Key elements from the answers provided were used by pairs of information scientists to label each LLM answer as in Total Alignment, Partial Alignment, or No Alignment with the information scientist. The Partial Alignment answers were also analyzed for the inclusion of additional information.Results: The entire LLM set of answers, 225 in total, were assessed as being in Total Alignment 20.9% of the time (n=47), in Partial Alignment 78.7% of the time (n=177), and in No Alignment 0.4% of the time (n=1). Kruskal-Wallis testing found no significant performance difference in alignment ratings between the five chatbots (p=0.46). An analysis of the partially aligned answers found a significant difference in the number of additional elements provided by the information scientists versus the chatbots per Wilcoxon-Rank Sum testing (p=0.02).Discussion: Five chatbots did not differ significantly in their alignment with information scientists' evidence summaries. The analysis of partially aligned answers found both chatbots and information scientists included additional information, with information scientists doing so significantly more often. An important next step will be to assess the additional information, both from the chatbots and the information scientists for validity and relevance.","PeriodicalId":47690,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Library Association","volume":"114 2","pages":"94-104"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13075580/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147692985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results: Seventy-five survey responses were collected. Key findings from the survey include: most respondents were from universities with health sciences programs, with nursing and physical therapy being the most common additional programs. Most library-led instruction occurred during the didactic phase and focused on search skills and evidence-based practice. PubMed and UpToDate were the most library-promoted resources. Two thematic elements discovered through the semi-structured interviews were \"relationship building as paramount\" and \"impact of the learning curve on librarian workload.\"Conclusion: Librarians who support PA educational programs face challenges related to relationship building, financial resources, workload, and steep learning curves.

Early exposure to professional drug information databases may promote evidence-based information-seeking habits.Case presentation: A one-hour training session on using Lexicomp, a professional drug information database, was conducted for 55 non-healthcare students and 58 pharmacy students at a women's university in South Korea. The session included live demonstrations and guided search tasks. Participants completed pre- and post-training surveys assessing their information-seeking behaviors, perceptions of source reliability, and intention to use Lexicomp. Students also ranked drug information types they typically searched for and anticipated using Lexicomp to find. Only 1.8% of non-healthcare students had prior knowledge of Lexicomp, compared to 100% of pharmacy students. After the training, 100% of non-healthcare students rated Lexicomp as more reliable than their usual sources, and over 90% expressed willingness to use it in the future. A marked shift in information-seeking priorities was observed, with greater emphasis on clinically relevant topics such as adverse effects and contraindications. Students reported increased confidence and found the platform easier to use than expected.Conclusion: A brief educational intervention was effective in improving drug information literacy among non-healthcare students.

Such reviews are often assigned to build the research skills needed in a clinical environment. In the assignment of these reviews, it has become apparent that health sciences faculty are often not familiar with required standardized methodologies. Incorrect methodologies can contribute to research waste and produce evidence that cannot be applied for its intended purpose.Case presentation: Health sciences librarians at an R1 institution ventured to address the ES review knowledge gap through a continuing education webinar for health sciences faculty and graduate students. The webinar provided guidance on systematic review (SR) methodology, optional alternative research assignments, and discussions encouraging the use of these assignments. The alternative assignments were developed based on those presented by Lipke & Price (2025), each with specific learning objectives and grading rubrics. Pre- and post-webinar surveys were conducted to gauge any changes in participants' knowledge, skills, or abilities related to the presented information.Conclusions: Study participants included six faculty and a graduate student. Survey results showed that participants had an improved understanding of, and placed increased importance on, ES method guidelines, with an equal understanding of the need for alternative assignments.

However, there is a significant gap in research on how vocational medical students, a key group in the healthcare workforce, utilize these resources. This gap in the research highlights the need to further investigate the unique challenges and factors influencing library resource utilization in vocational medical students.Case presentation: One hundred and seventeen vocational medical students from a medical vocational college were assessed what influenced their library resource usage. An online survey was conducted to collect data on usage patterns, satisfaction with library resources, and satisfaction with self-reported retrieval abilities. The sample included 48 males and 69 females, with an average age of 19.1±0.7 years. Of the participants, 38.5% (45 students) reported effective library resource utilization. Lasso regression and logistic regression analyses identified two key predictors: satisfaction with library's space capacity (OR 4.26, 95% CI 1.438~12.622) and satisfaction with resource retrieval ability (OR 7.362, 95% CI 1.311~41.341). ROC analysis revealed a high predictive value, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.866 (95% CI 0.796~0.936).Conclusions: This study identified satisfaction with library's space capacity and satisfaction with resource retrieval ability as key factors influencing library resource utilization by vocational medical students. To enhance library resource utilization, targeted strategies such as strengthening library infrastructure and improving students' information literacy should be considered.","PeriodicalId":47690,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Library Association","volume":"114 1","pages":"31-37"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12947934/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
