From providing access to cutting-edge, vetted information resources to helping you learn, our Mount Sinai learners, faculty, and staff can rely on the expertise of our library team.
Medical librarians fill a wide breadth of roles such as:
Teaching health professionals how to access and evaluate information
Connecting electronic resources and decision tools to electronic health records
Designing and managing health information websites, Internet blogs, and digital libraries
Serving on patient safety, quality control, and accreditation committees in their hospitals
A study* in 118 hospitals with more than 16,122 participants found that 95% reported that information provided by a librarian resulted in better-informed clinical decisions.
Who benefits from library services? Everyone!
Residents and fellows, faculty, nurses, physician assistants, hospital administration, pharmacists, allied health professionals, and patients!!
Did engaging with a Mount Sinai librarian have a positive impact on you and your work? We would love to hear about these stories!
