Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) has brought many new roles for the medical school library staff that encompass both facilitator and curricular functions. Emerging roles for the reference staff include that of library liaison, where each PBL group is assigned a librarian with whom they may consult on information issues. Typically, the liaison role does not lend itself to the librarian becoming a formal or integral member of the PBL group. However, a liaison who has a succinct presentation on information issues for their group at semester's beginning will find that their advice is sought and valued by PBL group members.
