 Expert Searching, Reference and Outreach: Mayo Clinic employees
and students recognize and appreciate library staff for their expertise in using the Internet
and intranet as well as traditional scholarly resources to find the best,
most inclusive information to meet every health care and administrative
need. Library staff identify and provide electronic and print reference lists
(many with full text) of scholarly publications for any professional
project involving clinical care, education, research, or quality improvement.
Whether the need is urgent, or for long- or short-term projects, library staff
will respond with phone calls, e-mail or in-person consultations. Our
intranet Web site offers users quick access to reference and outreach
services via the "Talk to the Library" and "Research it for Me" buttons.
Once the user has received a reference list, users may then use "Send me an Article" and "Send me a Book" buttons to request selected journals or books.
This complete scholarly reference experience is offered in clinical care, research, education and quality for:
-
Complex and unusual cases
-
Key decision making
-
Institutional support of litigation
-
Scholarship funding
-
Grant support
-
Best practices
-
Evidence-based literature on any subject
