Event Description

In 1990-1991, hospital librarians in Rochester, NY developed a research project to explore the impact of library services on clinical decision making. This became known as “The Rochester Study.” The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM), Middle Atlantic Region (MAR) decided to replicate the study in the early 2000’s. Join us for a discussion of three journal articles about these studies. Please read the articles prior to the discussion. Margot Malachowski, Education and Outreach Coordinator will give background information and a summary of key points. Attendees will be encouraged to offer comments on the relevance of these studies to today’s environment and offer ideas for future studies on the impact of hospital libraries on patient care.
