摘要:This comment and opinion piece deals with the origin, concept, models, and practice of knowledge translation (KT), as well as related issues, either in theory or practice. The authors explore these questions: What is KT? How does it work? And what is the role of knowledge translators, health care professionals, and health librarians in KT? We suggest that librarians could have a critical role in organizing and operating a major component of KT, the “knowledgebase.”
