Abstract

ABSTRACT Hospital librarians' practice includes the art and science of preparation for the search, use of complex tools for information retrieval, the search process, and the value-added delivery of results that completes information retrieval. They do focused searching for specific published information for themselves (for instance for evidence-based librarianship or collection development) or as intermediary searchers for their clients. Library schools' full semester courses in this subject usually are electives, so this article is an introduction for some and a review for others.
