Abstract: | This research evaluated the quality and impact of a health librarian-mediated literature search service at a regional hospital in Victoria, Australia. A survey was e-mailed to all users of the mediated literature search service. The service had a key impact on knowledge development and clinical practice; improved policies and procedures; and increased productivity. Specifically, it indicated that 83.02% of respondents obtained new knowledge, whilst 46.23% confirmed clinical practice. A further 31 responses indicated that choice of tests, medications and advice given to patients was influenced. This research indicated that librarian’s searching expertise can indirectly contribute to patient care activities. |
