Value of Libraries Survey Launch

By Administrator. Published on March 13, 2011 in General News and the Chronicle. Closed Tags: , , , , , .

Due to the generosity of twelve different regional and national library groups, including the Philadelphia Regional Chapter, the launch of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Middle Atlantic Region (MAR/NNLM) Value of Libraries study (“The Value of Library and Information Services in Patient Care “) is ready to launch. The goal of the study is to measure the value and impact of library and information resources on clinical decision making by physicians, residents, and nurses. The study has been in the planning stages since November 2006, when the Regional Advisory Committee of the MAR/NNLM determined that the influential and highly cited Rochester study needed to be updated to reflect the current, technologically complex library environment. [See: “Measuring the value and impact of health sciences libraries: planning an update and replication of the Rochester Study.” J Med Libr Assoc. 2009 Oct; 97(4):308-12. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2759150/?tool=pubmed] The Value of Libraries study includes an online survey of physicians, residents and nurses; interviews with respondents at selected institutions; and librarian focus groups.
