摘要

在健康照護領域中，實證醫學的實施正快速地受到重視，實證醫學將圖書館員的角色由文獻的找尋延伸到文獻的評估與品質過濾，館員亦需要發展新的知識技能以因應角色的變遷。然而圖書資訊學文獻中對於圖書館的角色問題討論仍然有限。因此本文由實證醫學的觀念起源與相關問題談起，繼而對於網際網路對實證資訊的影響與醫學資訊學課程的重要性進行討論，並且由新科技的有效掌握、高品質研究的篩選、臨床資訊搜尋的諮詢與指導、圖書館與醫學院教師的合作等方面，對於醫學圖書館員的角色變遷與未來發展進行歸納分析，期望藉由相關文獻中的探討，重新思考醫學圖書館員的角色問題。

Evidence-based medicine is spreading in popularity in many health care areas. Evidence-based medicine extends the librarians' role beyond identification of the literature to involvement in practicing and teaching quality filtering and critical appraisal of the literature. This trend requires librarians to pursue new knowledge and develop new skills. However, little discussion of the role of the librarian in evidence-based medicine appears in library and information science literature. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the evolving role of the medical librarian through the following topics: the influence of technology, quality filtering of the literature, the instruction of clinical information, and the cooperation of the librarian and the faculty.
