摘要：The Sladen Library at the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) receives numerous
requests for training on PubMed and other electronic resources. These requests
are driven by the emphasis on evidence-based medicine (EBM), the Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education General competencies (specifically for
practice-based learning and improvement) [ 1 ], and health care professionals'
growing awareness of the need to improve their effectiveness in information
retrieval. Though educating patrons in the effective use of information
resources is one of the Sladen Library's key functions and goals, training was
impeded by a lack of space and the time constraints many health care
professionals felt.
